Well, i started wrting purely for fun and because it's time consumming. anyway, i had this sypnopsis in my head about how the story was going to go and i dont know what happened but everything took a different turn. i lost control of my own story. does that sound dumb?
and i could change it, but it'd be like i am forcing something to go a certain way and that's not cool to me.
so my question is what do i do, do i go with it or do i change it?

Many things run in my family; a fiery passion, an obvious sense of humor, an outgoing energy, and twins. It seems that every trait in the family gene pool skipped over me….except twinship.
I always thought about what I’d do to be like my family, when I was too little to realize that next to nothing could be done about it. And every single time I pondered it I cam to the same conclusion. It was totally bearable that I was shy and timid, aloof and maybe a little too profound. I was able to cope with having an enigmatic wit and a withdrawn instinct to always observe and never participate. As long as I had my sister, I could endure anything.
It seemed the differences fell away when we were together. We understood each other. We loved each other. We shared a room. We told each other secrets that the other had already sensed was hidden away. We were constantly aware of each other.

What are your top 10 favorite books?

I need good books to read. I like reading shortish books because I know it's pathetic, but I'm a terrible reader... My books are usually 100-300 pages... I'm 13, in 8th grade. (Girl). I also like books about freaks like "Define 'Normal' ", "Girl, Interrupted" etc.

I want some good reasons for a paper to support the argument that Shakespear did not write/translate the king james bible. Nothing religious please. It would also be nice to have reasons i can source from somewhere else, so not just something you thought up.

thanks

Also if there is a book,
how many pages does it consist of?

For my English research paper I'm writing about Shakespeare's inspiration for his many masterpieces. Can someone please tell me where I might find information about what his inspiration was? Any insightful books about his life and experiences? I plan on going by my college library tomorrow and need a clue as to where to look for answers. Thank you.

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad

4. The title of Chapter 19 is An Opinion. This chapter is about Mannettes opinion regarding what to do with Lorry’s tools. She decides to get rid of all of his tools, because they are worried it would cause a relapse, because it was the cause of the trauma, therefore it would also cause a relapse.
5. The title of Chapter 21 is Echoing Footsteps, which foreshadows someone echoing(or mimicking) someone else’s footsteps (meaning their lifestyle), therefore the title represents someone wanting to mimic someone else’s lifestyle, or be just like them. In this case it is false foreshadowing because instead, it has to do with Lucie hearing footsteps on the street from the parlor.

are these correct or did i totally misunderstand the purpose?

Luther stayed hidden in the brush of the forest, barely daring to breathe through fear of scaring away tonight’s meal. He laid in wait, his arrow notched and ready.
He was tucked away from any possible danger, his jacket blended perfectly with the forest; his piercing blue-green eyes scanned the forest floor with the distinct precision of an expert huntsman. He breathed in the scent of mouldy leaves and sodden earth and flexed his fingers on his bow, ready to act should he spy any movement in the clearing. Tahesin watched in silence. The silence was broken as a mother deer entered the clearing and, after an anxious glance, she dropped her head and began to graze. The only sound that came was that of Luther stretching the bowstring and letting go the single arrow, it’s whistling shattering the air.
The unfortunate creature pricked her ears and looked up as the arrow stuck in to her side. Tahesin clasped his hands around his ears. The doe's screams sliced through Tahesin's senses, sending a jolt through him that pierced all thought. Luther slung the bow over his shoulder and ran toward his kill and hoisted that upon his shoulder as well. “Can’t get fresher than that” he said coldly. “So what do you do with it now?” asked Tahesin huskily. “I assumed you knew how to cook it” said Luther. “You just put it over the fire and turn it so it doesn’t burn. “Here you start
