Game: Ask the Person Below You

I'd say that in most of the cases I can think of now I quietly and modestly acknowledged it. I'm usually not able to ignore my mistakes and I wouldn't want to. However, I sometimes wish (normally at that period when I'm at the point of proceeding on with life) that I had the courage to admit it loudly, because I somehow think that this might be the way to completely get rid of any unpleasent feeling connected with my mistake.

To the next person who'd like to answer:
If you ever planted a tree, which tree would it be and where would you plant it ?

IF I would plant a tree it would have to be a Neem tree as it has many medical purposes & at a place where everyone would easily access it.

Same ques.

A Sweet Gum, preferably where it would provide shade for the most people. I love the star-shaped leaves. I planted one in my front yard once, but I had to transplant it, and it died.

A good question to pass on.

it would be a weeping willow and i would plant it in my backyard to watch it grow...i have never watched a tree grow and i think a weeping willow would be interesting to see. (not that weeping has anything to do with my personality i just like the looks of it :) :banana:

As with literaturerocks, I would probably choose a willow tree (though not easy to relocate) - a tree representing many fond memories of childhood. They grow very, very slowly, but I would love to continue knowing it would grow for many years after me.

To the person below me: if you had a garden (or already have one ;)), what would you plant first, and/or look forward most to growing?

Roses, without doubt.

What is your favorite flower?

Orchids. My girlfriend loves them, and as for me, I say: "Pfui." :cool:.

Same question!

Roses!!

What is your favorite tree?

hmm..probably willow...i just like the looks of them..that or good climbing trees!:)

to the person below me:

what made you decide on your username on the literature forums?

Hero complex.

Same Q.

I thought that for any person knowing my name would mean that they know atleast something real about me. But I now think I should have kept a different name.

Question:

Any author writing fiction, do you think the story could be completely fictional? Dont you think that no matter how much they try, some reality or experience is bound to appear in that novel? Is it possible to be completely fictional? If No, then why such stories are called fiction?

As for Madhuri's question: yes, I believe it is possible to write 100% fiction, although it would require much more attentiveness than injecting fragments of personal experience or preference into the work. If you wanted to be picky about it, sure, you could write something without anything from your own life interjected within. But then, what's there to make it your work?

I have said before that a person's persona will come out in their work. Does that make it any less fictional? No. It's still fiction because it is writtien about fictional characters or events and places! :nod:

Do you find yourself becoming so involved in a book that you are like a character in it, rather than the reader?

Yes. I have often felt that way.


Do you sometime wish, after reading a book, that you really had been a character in it?

Yeah, usually I imagine myself being the annoying sidekick that dies a horrible dead. :D Somehow a lot of books miss this character, so I think myself into it afterwards.

Same Q. (Blank mind)
