I was thinking about having my kids read this book should I? They are in 8th garde, I teach at a Christian school but this was on the book list provided to me by my boss. Then today one of the studnets said she though about being witha girl in the book. Is it really all that and is it true? What do you think?

Well you see, I have a poem by this indian guy named Rabindranath Tagore and I have sorta something like and exam... I dont understand a word so will someone help me give questions that are possible to come?

WHERE THE MIND IS WITHOUT FEAR
BY RABINDRANATH TAGORE

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow
domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the
dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought
and action--
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

So I am at the end of yet another semester and have a month off from school till next semester. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good read?

I like drama, memoirs, fiction, mystery... not that into fantasy or horror though. So no Lord of the Rings or Stephen King... I like more thought provoking books!

OK, I'm ready for suggestions now if anyone has any! Thanks!

i read this paragraph and i completely don’t understand it! i need u ppl to explain what the paragraph below, means.
Oh cold, cold, rigid, dreadful Death, set up thine altar here, and dress it with such terrors as thou hast at thy command: for this is thy dominion. But of the loved, revered, and honoured head, thou canst not turn one hair to thy dread purposes, or make one feature odious. It is not that the hand is heavy and will fall down when released; it is not that the heart and pulse are still; but that the hand was open, generous, and true; the heart brave, warm, and tender; and the pulse a man's. Strike, Shadow, strike. And see his good deeds springing from the wound, to sow the world with life immortal.
thank u for all ur help!

I've been on a bit of a personal renaissance lately and am thirsty for knowledge. Also, not to be mean, please don't respond with a religious text as your answer. Thanks in advance.

Does it establish his credibility as a reporter? Was it ghost-written? Is it better/worse than his CNN 360? Will he join the ranks of Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw, and Dan Rather?
