and come to be regarded, along with Walt Whitman, as one of the two poets most representative of 19th century America? And why was she neither recognized in her own century as the great poet she is nor published during her lifetime? Why was she so little appreciated in her own century and so greatly appreciated in the 20th and 21st centuries? She has not changed obviously, so what has? The same phenomenon, that is, of artists speaking more to generations that followed than to their own, has occurred frequently of course. In the history of music, the examples of Bruckner and Mahler come immediately to mind, both relatively unappreciated in their own times, both highly esteemed today. So were these great artists simply ahead of their times? Did they speak a language as yet incomprehensible to their contemporaries? I wonder too what great artists we are all overlooking today.

I'm looking to start and online book club, I'm absolutely desparate to find someone who enjoys the same type of books that I do and be able to share our thoughts and opinions about the book....I enjoy comedy/drama books, mostly memoirs stuff from the authors real life. But if its fiction thats cool too as long as its a mixture of comedy/drama such as the book "Running With Scissors" and the one I'm reading now called "Jesus Land" we can discuss it thru Yahoo messenger or on here take your pick.
SERIOUS READERS ONLY!!

Here is my story:

As I lay their, on the cold soggy ground. Blood gushing form my forhead. The hard fall to the ground had scraped all my skin off, and now only showed bone.The blood blurred me vision. All I can see is red. Pain is shooting up my leg from my ankel. I must have broke it. I try to get up but the pain is way to fierce! My vision is going fuzzy. I think I am going to pass-out. I do.
I awake awhile later. Its so dark out. The full moon is just now peaking above the tree tops. I should have never run away. It wasn't that bad.....Yes it was. ( ...................................................................................................................................................................) I can't beleived this happened.

I am writing a book for children ages 10-12. Should I try to send my manuscript off to publishing companies hoping to hear something back from them or should I go with something like AuthorHouse where you have to pay for the book to be published?

I am usually not into reading but this one caught my attention. After I read about 100 pages I couldn't stop reading.

What books are similar to the Da Vinci Code that I can read?

I have to write a persuasive essay about something. I don't want to write about something I don't care about. I am passionate about many things, but I can't make any of them into a persuasive essay it seems. I would like to hear what other people would or have written one about, not to take your ideas but to think about them and come up with my own idea. It can be anything, I just want to hear it, along with your main reasons. Thanks a lot!

I would like your opinion on these questions. We are reading one of the classics. The Great Gatsby. And one of my "tutorees" is having a difficult time expanding his mind and giving me his opinion on the questions. so I said all of that to say this, I need to know what you all think about these questions. brainstorm if you'd like .

1. What does Nick's Midwestern background reveal about him?

2.What kind of man is Tom? What is the significance of the book he is reading?

3. What characteristics do you assign to Daisy? Why does she want her daughter to be "a beautiful fool"?

Has anyone here thought about the question of Gender in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, apart from marriage and property??
Actually I am talking about characterization as well as the narrative itself.
