Every 3 months the Drama Class put on another performance and every 3 months Nikki tried out. Her acting skills, to say the least, left a lot to be desired. And with her none-too-pleasing appearance her acting skills would have to be nearly perfect if Nikki even wanted a chance.
She had a pimpled, dimpled face. Her freckles covered
nearly every inch of her body. Her red hair seemed to get greasier every day. She wore ridiculous oversized T-shirts and pinstriped shorts, and if you looked up the word “geek” in the dictionary there would be a huge picture of Nikki pasted smack dab in the middle of the page. Or maybe that had just been the class prankster. Nikki didn’t know. She didn’t really care, either. She was used to people making fun of her. It was a part of life for her. Although the rest of the school didn’t seem to think she realized it, as they continued to try and make every day torture for her, unsuccessfully.

Immature people, grow up,
Throwing paper balls,

I feel this rage inside me,

Just grow up, get a life,
stop messing with mine!

I wrote this today because I was mad,
people were acting immature. and throwing paper balls at me! So I wrote this! ENJOY

It is on horses and how a girl named Ana won't ride any more but her friend Amanda helps her to trust horses again and ride them. For the story there has to be a plot but I am not sure how to fit that in.

ok, so i have to interview someone OVER the age of 30 who has read the book To Kill A Mockingbird.
[It might be a few minutes before the questions are up so yea]]


To Kill A Mockingbird Interview Assignment

Directions: You are asked to seek out a person over the age of 30 who has read the book, "To Kill A Mockingbird. The reason for the age requirement is that TKAM is a book that tends to gain meaning and relevance as we have more life experience. Part of the purpose of this interview is to discover if this is true for your interview subject. It is not necessary that your subject liked the novel; this is not a book review, Encourage them to think about the message of the book, or the importance of it rather than whether they enjoy[ed] it.

IMPORTANT: Let you interviewee know that you have already completed the novel, so they won't feel they're "giving anything away" by revealing plot details

We read a story in a "Sexual Archetypes in Literature" class, and I can't recall the title or the author. It was something like "The Empty Canvas" or "The Blank Canvas". It concerned a hall lined with the framed bedding from the first night spent together by wedded couples, usually spotted with blood from the virgin bride. One of the sheets, however, was blank and no explanation was given. I loved this story, any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I think that (since Harry is probably a Horcrux), he will discover a way to take the Horcrux part of his soul out of him. To do this, he'll have to kill Ron and Hermione (who will willingly die). Then, he will be able to make TWO Horcruxes. At this point, he will presumably have destroyed all of Voldemort's Horcruxes (including the part of Harry that was a Horcrux). He will be able to kill Voldemort, while he himself will have two Horcruxes (which Voldemort will not know about). This will make Harry invincible, and Voldemort vulnerable.
Harry will kill Voldemort, and then Rowling will tie up all the loose ends, like the Harry-Ginny relationship.
