I saw a question about his short stories and thought I'd delve a bit deeper.

Also, I've gotten an email or two before about this - I'm Irish and we spell 'favourite' like this, with a 'u' - so it's not a misspelling, before anyone comments!

What is the name of the book where a group of people find themselves stuck in a dark hole with endless steps? They run into a machine that makes them do crazy stuff to each other to get pellets of meat? Thanks!

If voldy was so smart,when he took over the ministry,why did he simply take a time turner and go back to any part in time and kill harry???Also,the sorting hat seemed a little off to me.Snape was as brave as James was,and james really seemed more crueler,almost like draco.Why didn't james go to slytherin and snape go to griffyndore for being brave and standing up to james?Also,they were fighting for diversity,but it seemed like everyone married a pureblood.When Ron says that they have a cousin who is an accountant but do not talk about him much seemes almost like they are ashamed of him.

I mean yahoo just posted the article about how she is trying to sue some Indians who are making a replica of her Hogwarts school. They only want to model it and have some fun on their religious holiday and have no means of profiting from it. And she wants app. $50,000?!? Why? Does that mean if I make a cake in Mickey Mouse's image I should have to pay Disney Co. money too?

If I were her I would be honored for them to build something base on what I've had already made millions and millions on. It would be different if they were trying to sell it.

Your thoughts please.

JK Rowling is listed #48 for the Forbes richest people in the US. She filed a lawsuit for $50,000 against Indian organizers who were building a replica castle to celebrate some festival there. What is she going to do next? File lawsuits against parents in the US who hold Harry Potter themed birthday parties?? I didn't know she had a copyright for a Hogwarts castle blueprint, or Hogwarts in general. It's absurd that she feels she needs to sue a non-profit festival, just to get a bit more $$ in her money grubbing pocket.

Can this be true or just a story I have read?

2007-10-11 17:42:10 · 22 answers · asked by Anonymous

this book is hard i got most of the questions but theres a few im a little shaky on.....

1. Explain the significance of Lennox's following lines, "The night has been unruly. Where we lay,/ Our chimneys were blown down and, as they say,/ Lamentings heard i' th' air, strange screams of death...". Think about how natures disorder ties in with the king's disorder.

2. Who is the new character introduced in this scene? What is he like, and why miht he be important to the story?

3. Explain the irony in Macduff's following lines, "O gently lady,/ 'Tis not for you to hear what i can speak./ The repetition in a woman's ear/ Would murder as it fell.".



if anybody can help me with those questons that would be awesome !

A quote from the Scarlet Letter is "At the very least they should have put the brand of hot iron on Hester Prynne's forehead." Is this an example of figurative language?
