I've been looking for the title of a short story I read in high school everywhere and I can't find it, so I thought I'd ask here. It's about a pale little girl on the planet Venus who everyone makes fun of, and she gets locked in a closet right when the sun comes out for the first time in years....or maybe it rains...I don't know. Anyway, I'd love it if someone could come up with an answer!

I read a story once in an anthology book of short stories from South East Asia, but I cannot recall either the title of the book or the title of the short story.

The story I'm looking for is about a group of American or British travelers (or soldiers) who stay at a house in (I think) Vietnam. They are told of a story by a local regarding a ghost that lives in a little hut in the rice fields, and that people have died of fright just from seeing it. The group of men then dare one another to go and spend the night in the hut - one of them eventually goes. During the night, the others make a plan to creep up to the hut and scare their friend, however, as they creep up to the hut they notice a figure crawling out of the hut and assume it's their friend wanting to scare THEM, so one of them creeps into the hut to wait for their friend to return and scare him then, however when "he" returns, it's not really him, but an actual ghost - their actual friend had gone back to the house.

I've been writing stories creatively since I was in the sixth grade. Of course, writing in the past was easier since I was a bad writer, and it's easy to write anything badly. I've become more proficient in recent years and have been working on my first seriously minded novel. My problem is that I seem to only be able to write a little bit each day, and as strange as it sounds my comfort zone for writing is between 1AM and 3AM. I write anywhere between a half hour and two hours each day six days a week, probably averaging an hour a night. This is only through my first draft. I'm about half way through at 35000 chars. I'd like to finish it completely before I turn 20, which is in about 14 months. Can I write at this pace and still be finished by around then, or will I have to start writing more each day to be done anywhere near that time? I'm a perfectionist so I'll make probably 5 readthough revisions at the least. I'd appreciate any suggestions at how I could write for longer each day

Did I tell you how it feels
When you walk inside my dreams?
Or the way it makes my heart jump
When I see the way you smile?
You look at me and in that look
Everything is right.
But I know what waits instore for me,
The time when I wake up.
You'll be far away then,
In a non-existant land.
A beautiful place called dreamland;
Where I know it's me you love.

I need to make a timeline of 15 major events that happen in Grapes of Wrath. I have all of the events, but I don't know the times. People told me to use Rose of Sharon's pregnancy, but I still can't figure it out. Can somebody give me a rough estimate of 15 major events with the times?

For extra credit for one of my classes, my teacher wants me to write an essay comparing the Little Shop of Horrors (which my school just put on in a play) and the events of the Cold War. I was thinking about writing something along the lines of the use of power, and when power gets to be too much.


Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks =]
