My teacher is requiring us to do a narrative essay, and she requested that we find the application essay for a university that we aspire to attend so that our narrative essay will not only be a grade in the class, but also something that we have done to prepare for college. Unfortunately, I am rather new to this concept, and I'm not sure where to find this.

I know the story, but I can't find the specific place that Pelias was ruling when he (he being Jason) came along. Long story, but I need to know. Help?

He's a gorgeous senior, I'm a less than adequate sophomore, blahblahblah. You get the picture. But he's my dad's boss's son, and I just got out of a really sucktastic relationship with this emotionally abusive relationship with this jerk. I don't want to commit myself to this (even though he likes me and wants me to go out with him), and we're complete opposites, so it probably would just be more pain than it was worth in the end. Any solutions to this catastrophe entitled 'my life'?

Here we go. Asking a question on yahoo answers...it's seriously come to this. Nonetheless, here it is: I just got out of a really crappy relationship, and I finally got situated in a new home (albeit falling apart around my ears) and a job and...it's good. Getting back on my feet again. However, the thing is that this guy that I'm working for? He just kissed the life out of me the other day in the lobby. I have feelings for him, but we're complete and total opposites. And it will never work out. So maybe I'm looking for someone to lie to me and tell me it will work out or someone who will go out on a limb and tell me how it will work or someone who will slap me in the face with some reality and tell me it never will....screw it, it's not a maybe. Help!

So, it is our first christmas together. We've been together for about 3-4months. He let it slip to a friend of a friend what he got me, and the only think shell tell me is that it was over $50. HELP!!!

My "not" boyfriend is probably the sweetest guy on the earth. We aren't "together" because he has a lot of crap in his life and...well, actually, I think he's just making complications out of nothing. We don't kiss or anything like that, but he's always holding my hand and wrapping his arms around me and kissing me on the forehead and...just being sweet. But it's getting old. It's like he expects me to just follow his lead and not expect to be anything but "his". Except not. If you know what I mean. I still love him (not like THAT, but....still) and I don't want to hurt him, but I just need him to back off and figure things out. I want to tell him this but..how much will it hurt him? He's really loyal and he doesn't bounce back very quickly from heartbreak. Help?

Is the title tied back to the fact that Gemma is plain (ish) and when inhabited with the gift she can do anything, be anything, and that makes her gift both beautiful and terrible at the same time, or the beauty of Pippa Cross and how terrible it is because....well, look where that gets her. Please only answer if you have read the book. Obviously. Cheers!

I have this friend. His name is John. John is my best guy friend. As you can probably tell, I have this crazy kinda crush on him. We used to be really close at the beginning of the school year, and we see

at least once every school day. At my lunch table it's all really fun and we meet before school sometimes. A lot of the time, he walks up to me and puts his arm around me casually. We flirt, and it seems like he likes me, but I flirt with this other guy too, just because I don't want to let him know that I like him...because that would ruin our friendship if he didn't like me. We were becoming closer and closer and I thought he would ask me out but randomly he's been acting a little bit distant. Help?

I have a friend. Let's call him Dan. Anyways, Dan and I were fairly decent friends. I don't really have that many good friends. I guess I have somewhat of a trust issue. I don't let that many people too close. I know tons of people, but I wouldn't consider a bunch of them to be my good friend. I really trully considered him a good friend. Back to the story. He got a new girlfriend and we stopped talking as much, which is totally understandable. New girlfriend...heck, he needs to spend more time talking to her then me. I wasn't upset or jealous in the least, I was fine with just talking to him ocassionally. Actually, it was easier then talking every day. But then I found out that he was moving across the country and hadn't told me. So my feelings were really hurt. I mean, it's not like we hang out all of the time or anything. It was just the fact that he didn't feel inclined to tell me. So I ignored him for a week or so. Then the other day he started talking to me over AIM.

I have this guy friend/guy aquaintance. Half the time we are friends, half the time we are aquaintances. He is one of the more intelligent people I know and we get along when we actually want to. He is probably one of the best guy friends I have ever had. He used to be more of an aquaintance that I talked to just every now and then but we talk on much more of a regular basis now. I keep denying that I am attracted to both him and his personality and, really, everything about him. But the truth is that I really have a thing for him. I personally don't think a relationship between us is plausible. Firstly, because I don't know if he reciprocates my feelings and secondly because it's all slightly complicated. I admit, if he asked me out I would probably say yes. But I don't know how wise that decision would be. I guess what this question boils down to is: How do I make myself not like my "friend", and is there any possible way I can not like him and still maintain my friendship with him?

There is this guy that I like but don't want to like. I personally don't think I have a chance with him, and our friendship is on again off again so adding a relationship in there would really throw me off. I am really attracted to him and his personality and I keep denying that I like him whenever I find myself liking him but I can't find a way to make my denial factual. HELP!

Mine is probably Persuasion. Then Pride and Prejudice.

And he and I have known eachother for a few years. We go to the same church. At first we didnt know eachother. Then my best friend had a crush on him and he was...well, he was a bit egotistical about it. So she got mad at him and I did too....it was pretty funny. So we all were a little..well, a lot hostile towards eachother for a good while. Then we all got over it. He and my best friend still argued a bit but we became aquaintances in a more friendly term. Then we started texting for some random reason. Then I started having a wee bit of a small....ok, so I liked him. A lot. So I texted him a few times. Then one day I didn't text and he started texting me. Every day. Like clock work. About everything but nothing at the same time. Whenever he saw me at church he didnt say much. Then my friend and I confronted him about it and he was sarcasticly arguing with my friend but nice to me. Then I took his hat and he got upset but he forgave me and now he isn't texting as much. So what's up??

I like to break down the symbolic value of a few songs. Is there a website that could be helpful?

Almost all week I have had dreams involving snakes....what is the significance of this? Is there any significance? Is it just coincidence?
