I did like it! I found it very insightful. Actually, I have a neighbor who is autistic. I never really understood him. I don't mean to say I thought he was weird or anything, I certainly was sympathetic, but I didn't realize how difficult things were for him. Sometimes he would so something that...

My brother, sawing away at his screechy viola.

Oh yes! I completely forgot about that one!

A man is a better world leader because...actually, I lied; a man is NOT a better world leader. ;) A woman is a better world leader because...she is smarter, kinder, more educated, a better listener, a humanitarian, an environmentalist, intelligent, talented, brilliant, beautiful, amazing...

Ooooh! What fun! Mine is: "You will believe a completely ridiculous hoax about a computer virus today, and everyone will tease you mercilessly." Computer virus or not, they will tease me mercilessly anwyay. :D

Thanks so much, you guys! But my birthday is really tomorrow, I just put it down in my profile as the wrong day... APRIL FOOLS! ;) I got a million books as birthday presents. I am officially in heaven (without being dead yet). :D

Bleh! It has been hailing ceaselessly for about an hour now. Combined with a thunderstorm, that is not very pleasant, as we just regained power a few minutes ago, and I missed 'Numb3rs,' :mad:. And it was so beautiful earlier today! It's still raining nonstop. I blame it all on Bush ;). Why...

I wonder how this will happen, as I am a minor who has no intention of getting married anytime soon. For the horoscope to be fulfilled, I would have to get married, have an argument with my husband, and resolve the argument all in one day. Somehow I have doubts... I will admit, however, that...

I always liked: His Dark Materials Lord of the Rings The House of Scorpion The Catcher in the Rye To Kill a Mockingbird The Giver

Horoscopes? God no. I can't say I trust anything that informs me that my fate will be equivalent to that of a twelfth to the world's population. Today's horoscope (paper): You will experience marital strife today. Today's horoscope (online): You will resolve a spousal conflict today. :confused...

I completely agree. I still can't believe that such an amazing woman could have been so ignored during her time. She was criticized by other writers of the Harlem Renaissance (again, spelling?) for not being 'black enough'. As far as I can tell through some essays she wrote, she didn't think of...

That's what I thought. :D Nature has huge power. It can be beautiful and devastating. It made Janie's life and tore it apart. It bestows both happiness and sorrow. Janie is awed (I think) by the greatness and magnificence of Nature. It is the giver and the taker, the way some people view...

I was a very adventurous baby. I felt trapped withing the plastic/wooden confines of crib. My stuffed animals lacked personality and were poor conversationalists. I had to get out and explore the world. So I jumped out of my crib. Not once, but twice. My parents still bring it up :o. Every day...

Is this a trick question? This is why I am terrible at math, physics, and anything that forces me to be a logical and use the left side of my brain. Sometimes I wonder if I was born without the left side of my brain. I'll venture a guess. I probably won't get the math right, I'm warning you...

Yes, in the book Janie never did mention god in that sense. The only time any indication of "watching god" was in the first paragraph or two of the book. I like the idea of people watching god rather than god watching them, with a leary eye and taking notes on every little mistake we make like...

Me gusta! You must tape record this song for me while you are singing in the shower and send it to the prison where I live so I can listen to it all winter long. I do love winter, though. Not to worry, though, I am not a stalker. I'm a 14-year-old girl. If anyone is going to be stalked...

Do I read nonfiction? Do school textbooks count? If I just read the parts we are being tested on? Do AP Biology study guides count? If I just take the practice tests? Do dictionaries count? If I'm only looking up one word? Do calorie-counter guidebooks count? If I just want to check up on...

I can't decide whether you are serious or not, mrkgnao, so I will take no offense (for your sake). GreenKnight, where did you learn to write haikus? Did you teach yourself, use a book, or learn from someone else? Or are you just naturally talented (if you are, I hate you! :mad: ;) )? I would...

I read this book two years ago and didn't find it especially memorable. First of all, I am not a Christian and know next to nothing about Christian beliefs or practices. I found it a moderately interesting and thought-provoking read. Some of things my Christian friends found shocking (Jesus...

I'm glad you guys liked it too! I just wrote an impromptu paper about it at school today. I think I did okay (for the first time ever) and am actually looking forward to peer evaluations tomorrow :). I noticed that the book was called Their Eyes Were Watching God (I'm sure you all noticed that...
