I need help with a few homework questions:

1. In what way does the word "hog" affect the plot of the story?

2. What lesson must Jefferson learn before dying?

3. Who is asked to teach him this lesson and why is this person reluctant?

4. Why is Jefferson sentenced to die?

Our english class has to read 100 pages per week. The good thing is we get to choose what we read, but I'm running out of ideas. Any books you want to suggest?

In 1977 in Los Angeles, Norman Mailer physically assaulted Gore Vidal at a party of a prominent L.A. socialite. After the assault, Vidal reportedly said "Once again, words fail Norman". Does anyone know at whose house this incident occured?

It needs to be original, if a model it needs to be out of clay, paper mache, etc. ..

and a collage must be very intricate..

Ok. I'm 11 years old and I'm writing a book. I know it's the kind of book that you know will get published. But what are publishers looking for? Like, what if they're in a bad mood that day? I'll be crushed if they deny it. Are any of you people a publisher? Or know a publisher? My book is really good! It's a short novel! Well, almost the lenght of a regular novel but about 20 or 30 pages short. So anyway, PLEASE HELP!!!

Okay, so, I’m beggining this adventure/danger/action story (i prefer to call it story because books mean they’re long, and I’m not sure if mine will be.) and I’m not really good at it. i enjoy writing alot and have great ideas, but my sister and my friends can all write it better than me. It seems i give them an idea and then we both write it, mine is 26 pages and theirs is the exsact same story, only at 150 pages. My strong points are describing, but i don’t have the vocabulary or the words to make good fighting seens. And seens that don’t involve fighting, well, my friends and sister are still better at writing those. I need some help! I get a good begining and end but i can’t figure out the middle. It’s like the begging is 20 pages, the middle is 5 pages, and the ending (because the middle was so crappy) is 4 pages. I dunno, i just need advice and help!
Thanks!

I'd like to sell them to a decent site/company (like amazon.com, powells.com, etc.) I'd like to donate or sell some books but most sites I've seen you have to pay for the shipping and handling yourself.
