Thanks for your input. It's making me re-think my thoughts here...

I do see insecurity however in Heathcliff with his disturbance with being a gypsy. When he went away & improved himself & his...

I'm doing a speech on Wuthering Heights in a few weeks & I thought the topic of my speech would be the modern diagnosis of Heathcliff & Cathy. I'm a literature fan but also am an Abnormal Psychology...

They are complete opposites, so its nice to know that you're just trying to get a question answered for your homework.

8/10. Flowers are nice, but where's the eye catching piece? Haha.

Here's a sonnet that I had to write for my Senior English class in HS. We were to base it off of Shakespeare's "Shall I compare thee to a summers day". My teacher really liked mine, so I thought I'd...

Thanks for the compliments guys, I was expecting to get ripped apart. I'll definitely post another when the time comes.

I've never had it as a crisis like you have, but its been an ongoing problem in my thinking and perceiving for a long time. I have Depersonalization Disorder, pretty rare, but basically, my...

I haven't written a poem in a really long time. Actually haven't written anything in years, battling depression and another mental disorder. But this was inspired by my suffering. Its based off the...

I haven't read any of today's novels, I'm mostly engrossed in classics at the moment. But I just read Lolita by Nabokov and I found that it had very deliberate and constant description of the bland...

I can't access the quiz but if I were to pick a literary character that most resembled my own, I would pick Hamlet. I feel as though he and I are so similar. I contemplate suicide a lot and am too...

Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray.

Harry Potter et la Chambre des Secrets by J.K. Rowling.
Harry Potter et le Prisonnier d'Azkaban by J.K. Rowling.
The Aeneid by Vergil.
Dracula by Bram Stoker.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame by...

I always thought so, too. There is a children's section, a teenage fiction section etc. The sections that are simply labelled 'fiction' tend to be free game. There could be strong themes expressed in...

Most Americans? I would say it has to do more with the group mentality and excitement/rush than the fact that we are Americans. No one in their right mind would do that.

When I'm just browsing the shelves in a bookstore, yes the cover is a big seller in making me choose to pick up the book. It's more than just a 'trick' to make you pick up the book, it usually...

I've never held the opinion that what R&J had was true love. I think it was story of two young teenagers who were rebeling against their parents, or were infatuated with the idea of love. To me,...

I don't think the decline of interest in reading can be blamed on technology per se. I'm on the computer most of my days, and I'd marry my iPod if I could. But that doesn't stop me from reading. If I...

I think its fine if it ties into something that is being taught.

In my past English class, a lot of the material we were reading had references to Christianity, it only made sense if the teacher...

I'd like to recommend Emilie Simon's new single, Dreamland.
I love this woman. <33

I just finished Dorian Gray and I thought it was great! I'm definitely going to reread it later. I'm surprised that so many don't think too highly of it. But, as others said, it's all personal...

Oh, I didn't mean for it to be sexist. I can see how it would sound like that. I didn't mean to say that it was a fantasy for all women. Just that there are a lot of women that would be attracted by...

Coke. No question.

:banana:

I could never understand this view. Twilight is a fantasy, a romantic fantasy, targeted at women. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but a fantasy of a strong, in-control man taking care of the weak...

I'm currently reading four. I do that all the time though. Usually read one chapter of each a day, so I finish them all in good time. :cool:

I tried reading a Bible a little while ago, I thought it would make me more enlightened and better versed in the religion of Christianity. You know, hold my own in debates.

Unfortunantely I...
