  • How do I find a reliable internet source for my thesis paper?

    I am writing a thesis on the novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, and I am required to include and internet source in my works cited. It cannot be a book/periodical that was just put online on some sort of database. It has to be something that was published online/ written online by a credible author-->(someone with a degree/someone official). It cannot be a blog or wikipedia. I really need to find one that I can use in my paper because it is required!!! And I need it by tomorrow!!! (12/1/11)! Thanks!

  • I am in love with a guy who I never talk to...need help!?

    This is going to sound a little extreme, but I have loved a guy since the fourth grade and I am really in love with him. We've been in the same class a few times and I've talked to him and stuff, but he's one of those guys who don't get that a girl likes him. I never see him or talk to him this year, and I'm just so sad. I always get classes that he has but a different period and i'm in a class full of his friends but not him. Nothing is going to happen and we aren't even gonna be friends if I don't do something, but I don't know what because he's one of those naive but way cool kids who everyone likes and sometimes he's just too oblivious to see that. Please help me out, I've loved him for almost 7 years and he doesn't even know it. He's everything you could want... Good looking, smart, funny, athletic, nice.... And I wish we could at least be friends. And I'm just one of those people in the background... Not popular (not that I wanna be) and just focused on doing well in school. Please help me!
