Thanks Cathy! I really like to write, and I'd love to improve myself, so thanks to everyone yet again. :D

Ugh and this was one I had to read aloud in front of the class. Not pretty...they all responded the same. "Huh?" I got an 100 on it though, for some odd reason.

Wow this is great. I'm really not offended by other people critiquing my writing. Which is why I posted it :) Thank you sooo much for your responses, they're really helpful, and something for me to consider when I continue writing. Thank you both so much!

This is an essay I wrote for my english class. What do you think? :confused: ------------------------------------------------------- Fog The student ahead of me holds the door open, and I quicken my pace to relieve his possession of the door. Nodding my thanks, I turn to make sure...

That's my favorite line. Great stuff there. :D Good work.

Umberto Eco: The Name of the Rose for the first quiz. 2nd: You're Adventures of Huckleberry Finn! by Mark Twain With an affinity for floating down the river, you see things in black and white. The world is strange and new to you and the more you learn about it, the less it makes sense...

There is such a large selection of comics, and webcomics now available that I sincerely cannot say that I like a book over a comic or vice versa. Look at great adventure/fantasy comics like Pibgorn or Drama/Comedy like Queen of Wands

Augh! I miss Calvin and Hobbes too. It was my favorite. I would go to the library like every week and check out the same comic books I had checked out only a couple weeks before, and read them all over again. :D

:eek: Wow you're good. ;) :p

Yep yep. Same here.

Try... Shooting An Elephant by George Orwell. :) One of my favorite essays.

Of Mice and Men by Steinbeck Great book but... :(

*snickers* :D No I'm sorry I can't help! :confused: *scampers off*

How about a "christian" romance novel? It'd be more "wholesome" at least. :p

Amazing insight. One to which I can relate to. I am 17 and I do not want to grow up. *pouts* I have to re-read this book since its something I would be able to identify with even better at this point in my life, than any other.

It's been a long time since I've read this book but I do remember really enjoying it. "Our foyer has a funny smell that doesn't smell like anyplace else. It isn't cauliflower and it isn't perfume-I don't know what the hell it is-but you always know you're home. " -paraphrased. I really...

I agree that the ending was rather anti-climactic, also. But I really loved this book overall. :D

My top five favorite books, in no particular order, are as follows: -To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee -The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton -Wuthering Heights (by one of those Bronte sisters >_< I can never remember which one) -The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck -Nectar in a Sieve by Kamala...

I also am a big fan of this book. Although when I read it a couple years ago, I didn't really notice the whole conflict with Nick as a narrator. I took his word as law. Whoops. I was younger though, and not as "good" of a reader as I am now, I think. I must re-read it sometime in the near...

Another I've just finished reading. Oy maybe I should've just made one thread and written about all of the books I've read recently. Hope not to upset any Moderators. >_< Something that stands out to me above all are the characters that S.E. Hinton wrote. Amazing. I have no doubt that anyone...
