I am watching the movie and am confused about the part when...

The commander takes Offred to that secret party where there were dancers. One of the dancers was a girl that Offred helped escape from their "handmaid training". They were talking in the Bathroom and Offred noticed that that womans hands were messed up...why? I couldnt understand what she said...i turned the volume up and everything and i couldnt understand...why was her hand all messed up?

DO PUBLISHERS insist on cotton-fiber paper for manuscript submissions--or is wood-pulp (normal classy, office printing paper) okay?
I still am not getting a clear enough answer to this question. Everyone says you need to print your manuscript for a prospective publisher on 20lb BOND PAPER, NOT COPY PAPER OR OTHER ERASABLE PAPER. Does this mean I have to spend 25$ for a box of cotton-based, contract/resume type paper to print my 500 page manuscript on? Some people say "20lb bond paper" is the paper you buy at Office Depot for printing things, while other people say, "just don't get the cheap stuff like at Office Depot." Please tell me EXACTLY what kind of paper I should use--LOOK on the PACKAGE, please, before telling me what it says, and the price per box (and how many sheets that is). I still can't find a box or pachage of 8 1/2 by 11 paper ANYWHERE that actually SAYS "BOND PAPER", even though lots of professional people are telling me they think it will say so.

I have a 60,000 well-written, character driven novel about a vampire who falls in love with a human (its not as simple as it sounds, its more emotional than action) and the story that unfolds. Thing is, I looked at some online publishers and read the stories they put out, and the e-books are TRASH. Smut with no purpose and then cheese upon lame with a side of stupid. Does anyone know a DECENT publisher where I could send my manuscript, or query letter, to? In this "paranormal romance" genre? Some place of QUALITY?

Carlisle. How do you say it?

I was reading the novels TWILIGHT and NEW MOON by Stephanie Meyer, and my friend and I have a disagreement. She says the way to say Carlisle is like this: 'Car-lease'. I say like this: 'Car-lyle'. Which one of us is right? Or are we both wrong?

PLEASE help!!

Nothing Gold Can Stay





Nature's first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf's a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay.



Robert Frost

I'm pretty sure it's a book, but it could be a movie. Or perhaps just a crazy dream I had, but I'm almost sure it's true. It's an old memory. There is a book about a guy who is in the amazon or some similar rainforest. He is cutting down a tree and it's very tiring; he only has an axe. He passes out or falls asleep and the animals start talking to him. I know there is a snake and like a tiger; lots of rainforest-living animals. They tell him of how they need the trees to sustain life and ect. They convince him not to cut the tree down and when he gets up he doesn't cut it down. Now I'm pretty sure it's a book and there are pictures in color. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
