Yes! I love the cartoon Hobbit! I still watch that and the 'Lord of the Rings' and the 'Return of the King' cartoons. And the old BBC Narnia movies.
Anyway, I think they're making Prince Caspian...
This should be a good quiz for me; I have a poetry test coming up in English class.
Meter: Well, the meter alternates between iambic tetrameter and iambic trimeter, except for the line 'And when...
No, even in the books, once you get to The Man in the Iron Mask Athos is only thinking about Raoul.
And, they look different in different versions of the movie. Generally, Aramis looks the best,...

You'll find a list with explainations there.
The neat thing about the Dawn Treader was how it kept cutting to Eustace's diary. It was different than the other books, and I liked it; I thought it really added something.
I've always been reading and writing fiction. Recently, I was cleaning through a stack of elementary school papers I was saving for whatever reason, and I found no less than five short stories that I...
Exciting news! My library got another Dumas book! :banana: It is called "The Journal of Madame Giovanni" and is supposedly about a real person (under a false name) who asks Dumas to write down her...
Thank you; that's very sweet. Any particular type of fanfics?

I have mostly had good experiences with Amazon. Their used&new books generally seem pretty cheap in this case, and they have a safe-buying guarantee. The best way to see who is a reliable seller...
Actually, I feel more depressed than stimulated coming out of that class. "The Metamorphosis" was probably the best out of all the works we've read so far, but other than that, there's really not...
Desert Club Dumas? Never. I have to admit, though, that I haven't been reading much Dumas lately. English class has kept mired in existentialist works by Kafka, Camus, Sartre, etc. :rolleyes: It's...
Hey, guys! I haven't met you yet because school has been bogging me down, but I finally have a chance to say hi. :)
"Twenty Years After" is definately my favourite book of Dumas, though the "Count...
I rarely count how many times I read a book, but 3 was definately my favourite, too.
LeslieS- Hi, and welcome to the club! :wave: Tell me... you like Aramis, right? <gives pleading look>
Darlin- I love Lupin!!!!!!!!! :angel:
-Dumbledore couldn't do the Horcrux thing because...
MadameGascon- Oh, like I'm supposed to believe you now? Are you insulting my intelligence? :D
the musketeer- Well, the first three movies are out, and the fourth will be coming into the theaters...
Jacopo doesn't die. Remember, he got the ship from Monte Cristo. (He sort of works for Monte Cristo now, which is why he came to get him and Haydee in the end.) Also, Monte Cristo gave Valentine a...
The 1973 version directed by Richard Lester is quite good. It's old, but it's very faithful to the books and is very amusing.
Yep. Insult me all you want. ;) At least now I know that you're only...
Well, hello to you two, too. Yeah for Charlie Sheen! (... and for voices in the head :nod: ...)
the musketeer- Well met. Don't worry about the spelling; it's the thought that counts. (That is, the...
Thanks muchly (yes, 'muchly' is my own made up word, like 'meh'). I have actually missed you guys.
Wow, I'm gone for a few months, and look at all of the threads that build up... <sigh> Um, I'll target this one, just because I can't hit them all.
First of all, hi to all of the people who...
You can get a lot of information on Robert Cormier's "I am the Cheese" from Sparknotes here.
--Lawyers-- (You know- the "will" part. Or I'm just weird.)
Welcome to the forums, vani! :) Just to let you know, there's a similar thread here. You might be interested in reading that and possibly joining in the conversation. Hope to see you around. :nod:
