There's this boy, 16, who doesn't have many friends and is sort of a loner. He likes skateboarding and stuff like that. His brother is fighting in iraq and his mom divorced his dad, then died from cancer when he was 5. His dad is an alchoholic and they leave each other alone. He lives in, not an urban area, but it isn't quite suburban, some where in the middle.

So theres this kid, 16, no friends, torn apart family, loner. Then this girl moves in down the street, and they become friends. She is really nice, pretty, not really a cheerleader girl, or totally girly(as in, pink. only pink) but not punk. The books all about there friendship, and there lives. I just need to know what you think of the plot. I'm trying to think of something exciting that happens near the climax, so if you have an idea for that, id appreciate it.

Yes, another Harry Potter question. But this one, I seriously don't know the answer to... *possible spoilers if you haven't read the 5th book*
At the beginning of the fifth book, when Harry and Dudley are attacked by dementors, Dudley later says that he heard voices.
I thought that what he heard would be toldin later books, but it didn't say what his worst memory was.

So now I turn to Yahoo! Answers, in case I missed something in my many rereadings of the books. What was Dudley's worst memory?

and where it says examples is where im going to explain stuff from his speach. Feel free to change it around, tell me what you like/ don't like.

I think the main theme in this speech is indifference. (Examples)… Indifference is what forces the world into a stagnant rotting state. It’s the fuel for global warming and poverty, people just don’t care. We need to inform and educate ourselves about problems going on in the world so we can step up and take action. We need to start changing to improve the condition of the planet and resolve global issues. Indifference is just another word for uneducated, how can we stop acid rain if we have never heard of it before? Choosing to do nothing is the same as letting the situation get worse.

I am wondering how I should go at this series. I have heard that the parallel books about bean are not as good and I must agree, Ender's Shadow is not better than Ender's Game. So I just want to read the Ender Quartet. What order should I be reading this. I have already read Ender's Game.

i've already reading marianne curleys books and loved them and the sevenwaters trilogy was brilliant too. ive also read the tales of the otori, his dark materials and garth nix's abhorsen trilogy and alothough these were ok they're not really what i'm looking for, too much like fantasy. i want something believable, preferably about teenagers. i'm 19.

Well, a few questions:

Is nonfiction too popular a topic to write about? Is it popular but there isn't enough out there for it? Is there a better chance a nonfiction book would get published more than a fiction book?

I know writing is about what you know. Would it be interesting for people to read about a lesbian couple where one of them is in a wheelchair and the other is transgendered? Lol, hey it's my life I'm sure I could organize it well enough. So what you guys think?

In Brief and in your own words explain what makes up a story. Then consider the storyline sequence.Assess, if possible the most integral aspect of the sequence. And finally, assess whether or not a story can "work" with any sequence aspect.

It can be as long as you want...I have time to read it.
