Books & Authors - October 2007

Its about a girl who moves to the US from Barbados and she goes to live with relatives during the witch trials and she befriends an old lady who is accused of being a witch. I want to say that she goes to live with the puritans but I can't remember. All I remember is that one of her relatives cannot walk. In the end, the old lady's house gets burned down and the main character has to save her.

Well I read a lot, I'm 15 and i like most of the popular stuff (ie HP, twilight series, the clique, gossip girl, the it girl, alex rider series, 1-800-where-r-u etc.) and I've read all the books in those series, now i'm kind of looking for just books, not really series cause i get too hooked on em.
so any suggestions would be great (and I've read all the rachel hawthorne books too) thanks!

Aside from McMurphy, Chief, and Nurse Ratched, I mean. Im doing a book report and I need to talk about four important characters. I was thinking maybe Billy Bibbit, as he was the most severe case of the effects of the Combine what with being 31, a stutterer, virgin, treated like a baby, etc, and then McMurphy changing him by making him have sex with Candy and giving him confidance, symbolizing him regaining his humanity. I also thought hed be a good choice because of when he commits suicide, once again an effect of the Combine.

What do you think? If you have a better character, or more details about Billy, thatd be great.

Thanks

I'm writing a book where the main setting is Hell. I don't like the stereo-type where it's about fire, ashes, demon slaves and a red guy with horns and pitchfork. Would it be plagiarizing if I changed the story to what I believe Hell looks like?

I know, it's a long shot. But I have a book that I know will make you want to help me. Let me give you one chapter. Help me out here. Just a few minutes out of your life. It's young adult but would appeal to anyone who likes teen/ya books.

I'm having trouble picking up a theme. I'm supposed to write a thesis on how Capote's style of writting in the book (like switching between the Clutter's and the killers, or adding in the long letters from Perry's family) is used to show the theme. Any suggestions?

I'm not looking for things like Harry Potter as my interests lie more in adult reading like A Song of Ice and Fire, Dark Tower, and Sword of Truth. Here are the series I've read and enjoyed:

A Song of Ice and Fire
The Dark Tower
Sword of Truth
Otherland
Wheel of Time
Assassin's Quest
... and others from Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, and David Eddings.

So does anyone know of anything really good I am missing out on? There's a lot of fantasy books out there at the library or the book store and I am just looking for some ideas.

There is apparently a great new book out if you are interested in dinosaurs and what might have happened had they not been wiped out 65 million years ago.

I believe it was recently published, and has bold stylized (rather than naturalistic) illustrations. I think the story is about a girl who befriends a lion, but is separated from her friend when her family and the lion's pride find out. She continues to visit her lion friend in her dreams.

I hate writing them, and they always seem harder than the actual book. (If I could tell the story in 1-2 pages, I would). Do you have a particular site or book that really helped you out, or something you learned from experience?
Anything would be helpful. Thank you.

I have an assignment to find songs that would go with the book but I don't know which ones to choose. If you could help me that would be awesome. I need at least ten songs. Thanks!!!

2007-10-02 15:57:01 · 1 answers · asked by slob_15 3

for my high school class i need a song that would be similar to the mood of The Cask Of Amontillado by Edgar Allen Poe. im looking for a dark song, sort like evil or about death.

phantom of the operah is not allowed. (darn)

(since the mood changes alot, a song that changes from happy to sad would be great too)
