Books & Authors - March 2007

I just found this paper lying on the ground, what do you think of it?

Deep down in my soul there are scars.
Once they were wounds that I had locked away, afraid to talk About them.
Now they are hele, but they have left great scars upon my soul, And nothing will ever make them go away.
I try to hide and disguise them, but deep down on my soul they Are still there.
I ignore them and tell no one about them, but that only makes The pain feel worse.
I wonder what it would be like, if I had never been hurt so much.
But its hard to imagine something you've never felt before.

I just need a few ideas to get me moving. Here's the topic.

Discuss the theme of revenge. Which characters seek revenge and why? How do you think Dickens regards revenge?

THANKS FOR ANY HELP! :-)

I beleive this is one of the most important quotes in lotr it was in rotk by sam

"In that hour of trial it was love for his master that helped most to hold him firm; but also deep down in his livid still unconquered his plain hobbit-sense: he knew in the core of his heart that he was not large enough to bear such a buren, even if such visions were not a mere cheat to to betray him."

What does this mean to you? i think its important because shows sams deep commitment to his master and his basic sense

Once I came across an old path
Unkown by so many
All I could see were lone footprints
On this road taken by so few
As I walked along I came across a fork
At one end was a wall
And at the other stood you
And although the path I did not know
It felt as if every step was not brand-new
As I approached what I thought was you
And reached out for your guidence
You dissappeared before my very sight
At this momment I reconized
This path I know all to well
This old untaken path
Was my past and my Present Life
So I walked past where you had stood
I just happened to look down
I saw the unremarkable, I saw your footprints but no you
So I keep on moving
But whenever I turn back
I still expect to see
What is not and could never be

I'm curious how many classics you can list that have been named after a woman.

Examples:
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Ann Veronica, a modern love story by HG Wells
Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe

Are they part of a series? If so, which series? What number are they in the series?

I bought them for $1.00 at the library today, but I'm not sure if they are part of a series or not. It doesn't say.

No Stephen King, no Clive Barker, no John Saul, and no Dean Koontz. No-name authors only. I hate the crap these people put out after the success of their first 3 or 4 novels because the publisher is selling a brand name, not a good book. Internet searching is a-ok, but so far doing that myself only The House and Heart-Shaped Box have come up. I need the titles of the books, not author names. Short story horror collections too, but nothing more than 8 years old. New.

I love them more then the square root of Pi!
An addiction that can't hurt you
Unless you trip and fall

Some make you short
Some make you tall
Just put them on
You'll have a ball!

Their natural predators are stinky feet
Their natural habitat is at the mall

Well i read it when i was in 5th-6th grade not sure which though. I believe it starts with a kid in a foster care which takes care of dragons. he later finds out that his father was the best dragon trainer around and he died trying to train the worst dragon ever. he then steal a dragon egg and escapes into the desert. I remember that on his way he used a palm leave or something to cover his footsteps. and he burns his hands on a special herb that he was going to give the dragon so that it could eat. and then he becomes one of the best dragon trainers and they fight dragons for money.. sort of like betting who will win and which one will die..

please help me out i want to read it again.. there is a sequel to it if you could tell me the name of the book i wanted or the sequel i could just look for the author and find the name of the 1st book i thought it was called "dragon heart" guess thats not it since i've had no good results. please try to help me as best you can thanks in advance

In English we have to analyze books themes, conflict, symbolism and all that other stuff. Do authors really want us to do this or do they just want us to enjoy the book? I don't they wanted us to spend more of our time trying to understand every single sentence and just read and enjoy their writing. So my question is Do author's really want us to analyze their books?
