traditional love poetry= courtly love, woman is idealized, and is pure and chaste, poets or knights would admire from afar, no sexual or physical contact. I would like someone else's opinion on whether Neruda sticks to such conventions in his poetry especially in poem 20 s he is classed as a contemporary poet.

In her Harry Potter book series J. K. Rowling uses Latin words and phrases for most of the spells.
Does learning Latin in school (British children often do. US children usually do not) effect how you enjoy the books?
Does it make them seem less or more magical?
Make Harry’s school seem less or more exotic?

Besides the library catalog. I can't find anything at the library. I have to do a research paper on Shel Silverstein, and I'm only allowed to use one internet source. Do you know where I could find the titles of some books that have to do with him?

next week in english class, i have to recite a poem infront of both level 3 and 4 english classes and i'm in level 3 so i'm pretty stressed about it. i'm 14 and i need a poem not too long (not longer than 20 lines) that isn't too childish nor too complicated. examples of poets that i like are edgar allen poe, oscar wild and jim morrison so if you could find a poem with the same style as theirs (a bit) it would really help me! or if you find one of theirs that are good and short too. or another poet - whatever! does anyone have any suggestions please? thanks!

I have finished my first book. I did a lot of research on the subject matter, and also looked in the public domain to see how many books already cover this topic, and I found VERY FEW.

I have talked to a few people and they all have different opinions on how to get it out there, ranging from self publishing to amazon.com
to paying an editor to do the first review.

I've also heard to get general buzz and organically grow interest, so by the time you present it to a "real" publishing house, it has some legs and helps present the book in better light since there is a fanbase and interest already for the book.

I would REALLY appreciate any feedback or suggestions from either writers who have successfully done this, or any professionals in the publishing business.

And I PROMISE to include you in a BIG THANK YOU in my book if your tips get me on the shelves!

This is egit question, and I very much appreciate your time in answering!

Btw, the topic falls under CANCER. I am a survivor.

I am looking for a book I saw in a shop about ten years ago. The plot of the novel revolves around the writer Arthur Conan Doyle solving a string of murders, possibly he is trying to catch Jack the Ripper, I'm not sure. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

I recently enjoyed:
His Dark Materials
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time
Machiavelli: A Man Misunderstood
A collection of Voltaire (though I'm not really sure I'm getting under the skin of it)
The Picture of Dorian Gray (and would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't so dark - I'm in a lighten-me-up mood)
Eats, Shoots and Leaves

I read the Harry Potters the way some people take cigarette breaks in the rain

Currently on Chronicles v1 (Bob Dylan)

I drifted off Zen Guitar and found Natural Capitalism was far too much like work.

For one, it would be different from all other series where in the end always "good" (note the quotation marks) wins.

Another thing to consider is this: the world of the Wizards is godawful: the pure ones look down on "mudbloods" (the majority of them, even the ones who work in the ministry, supposedly for the sake of all wizards, 25% of which are "mudbloods"), Squibs, half-bloods, half-breeds, etc.

House-elves are slaves, giants are persecuted, centaurs are hated, goblins are feared, gnomes are mistreated and any Wizard mixed with some of the "nearly-human" species is looked down by nearly everybody else.

Wouldn't it be better if such a system came crashing down with the help of Voldemort? I'd say the Wizards overall are not "good" at all. Voldemort is very bad, but if him winning in the end causes the horribly elitist world of the Wizards to be destroyed, is it that bad?

Wouldn't it be, in the end, poetic justice? Seeing them destroyed by their own prejudices?

um it's a book about a girl who is a witch and on the cover there is a girl who sorta looks like she is sweating or something. I'm trying to find the title I've seen the book before but I forgot. I think It's something close to 'Wicked', 'Witch' or 'Cursed'..I dunno but please help me figure out the title.

Thx! =]
