If you use Zeus' Lightning bolt on a male donkey in Howrse, can it get pregnant if it has already covered 3 mares?

I'm writing a story, and the husband gets murdered and the wife psychologically messed up, by someone close to the family. What would motivate someone to do such a thing?

For my English assessment I am required to analyse a sample of text. I would like to do a poem, but I don't know which one to choose.

The main thing I am looking for is a poem with a clear context/audience (as part of the analysis has to do with the context).

It should also be meaningful, with a lot that I can pull out of it to analyse.

I'm looking for a program that will animate my drawings as I draw them. That is, so you can see the strokes and lines that I make and such. I don't want something that will animate complete drawings, I want it so you can see how the drawing was done if that makes sense?

Something like iscribble where you can see the stroke pattern

I need a purple costume to wear to my school athletics carnival. What should I wear?

Grapes have already been done. I want something original and unique :)

Hi,

Just need my essay proof read. Please ignore the intro and conclusion as I haven't really done them yet.

Poet Study -- William Blake

Discuss, with reference to 3-4 poems by the same poet, the various language techniques the poet has used to express the strength of their feeling on a particular topic.

William Blake has used imagery, metaphor and juxtaposition to express the strength of his feeling that the Industrial Revolution was dehumanising in the poems London, Tyger and Holy Thursday (2).

Blake creates images of restriction and sadness to express his feeling that the Industrial Revolution was dehumanising in the poem London. The first line of the poem refers to "each charter'd street" creating an image of a mapped, straight and constrained city, where people are forced to go in the direction of the industrialisation rather than their own natural, human path. Stanza 2, line 4 refers to “mind forged manacles". This calls to mind an image of people enchained within themselves. They are empty and emotionless and have lost their freedom. The lines in the first stanza “and in every face I meet, marks of weakness, marks of woe” evoke an image of everyone being the same, defined by their sorrow and not by their individuality. Their loss of individuality has essentially dehumanised them. Lines 3 and 4 of the third stanza read “and the hapless Soldier's sigh Runs in blood down Palace walls”. This image of innocent blood being spilt relates to how many hapless people have lost their humanity to a higher power: the Crown or the Industrial Revolution. Blake uses these images to express that the Industrial Revolution has trapped people within themselves and left no room for freedom or creativity, taking away their humanity.

Blake uses metaphor in the poem Tyger to represent the powers that created the Industrial Revolution as inhuman and describe the dehumanising affect on the revolution's victims. The entire poem is a metaphor of the Industrial Revolution. The revolution is a tiger – a ferocious, hungry, threatening predator that feeds off of the humanity of its victims. Blake questions who has created this monster in the 5th stanza where he writes "Did he smile his work to see, did he who made the lamb make thee?". He saying that God did not create this force; it was created by man. Blake suggests the Industrial Revolution has dehumanised its creators because how could someone human, from God, create something so evil? Blake says the Industrial Revolution is a predator, dehumanising its victims with its “deadly terrors”. He writes in the fifth stanza “When the stars throw down their spears, and water'd heaven with their tears”, suggesting that the dehumanising effect of this predator is so great that even the most pure and heavenly are weeping because of it. Blake expresses powerfully the preying, dehumanising nature of the Industrial Revolution by saying it is the same as a ferocious, hungry predator.

Blake uses juxtaposition to express the strength of his belief in the dehumanising nature of the Industrial Revolution by contrasting the idea of fruitfulness and fertility with barrenness and misery. In Holy Thursday (2), stanza 1, line 2, Blake paints the picture of a "rich and fruitful land" , the nature and creativity of the human mind. He juxtaposes this in the second stanza with what he believes London has become due industrialisation – "a land of poverty". In the 3rd stanza, he writes "and their sun does never shine, and their fields are bleak and bare, and their way's are fill'd with thorns, it is eternal winter there", suggesting that in this land of industrialisation no human creativity can grow; it is cold and barren. In the seconds stanza, Blake writes"Is that trembling cry a song, "could it be a song of joy?" He uses juxtaposition to say that something that was once an expression of humanity has become painful and strained. He contrasts this with the next stanza that creates a positive image of how the poet views Heaven: "Babe can never hunger there, nor poverty the mind appal." By creating the idea of a perfect, rich humanity, Blake has made the bare, unfruitful Industrial Revolution seem even more dehumanising.

Conclusion :)

Thanks :)

I'm looking for a free natural horsemanship social networking site/forum, something like Parelli connect or just a forum would be good.

Where can I find more information on natural horsemanship?

I have no idea what it's about XD

Red, black, white,

Red, black, white,

A shimmer of light glints off their scales

Red, black, white,

Red, black, white,

My body is encompassed by the water,

Red, black, white,

Red, black, white,

I forget to breathe

but my lungs do not burn for air

Red, black, white,

And soon I am sinking

Taken by the water

Red, black, white,

Red.

Black.

White.

Thankyou to everyone who helped out with feedback for this...now all I need it a title.

I sit in my mind

on the cool green grass

Watching balloons floating away

lifted into the peaceful blue sky

Each one a passing day

now no more but a memory

I grab hold of one

and then another

Never wanting to let

a single day go

And soon I too am floating away

no more than a fading memory

I'm thinking of entering a writing competition, but I need some feedback on my poem...it's a bit different to what I usually write about so I'd like to know if it's any good or not.

I sit in my mind

On the green, green grass

Watching balloons floating away

lifted into the blue,blue sky

Each one a passing day

now no more but a memory

I grab hold of one

And then another

Never wanting to let

A single day go

And soon I too am floating away

no more than a fading memory.

If you have any comments (e.g. 'good' or 'it sucks!') please say why you like it or dislike it or what makes it good or bad.

Thankyou!

Was having an interesting discussion yesterday. I'm thinking about getting a job in a supermarket or something :P According to my PLP teacher, resumes should be 1 page long, 2 pages if you have more than 20 years experience. Dad (who is currently sifting through a pile of job applicants) reckons that's nonsense; if your resume is only one page it will go straight in the bin for not having enough detail. Mum says 1-2 pages. Any opinions? Are there any specific standards?

Here is my poem on Remembrance Day I have written for yearbook. Please note this is the FIRST DRAFT and I'm 15 :) So it's not brilliant.

Please give me any tips/suggestions/critique thanks (it is VERY LOOSELY based on Villanelle. Very loosely)

Few men of Flander's fields came home

They stood united

They fell alone

The blood spilt crimson of the mortal zone

From trodden ground the poppies grow

Few men of Flander's fields came home

The fate of youth unbeknown

Land they fought to free became their grave

They stood united, they fell alone

Their sacrifice lest we condone

A nation's silence tribute

Few men of Flanders fields came home

A realm united, they were never alone.

In particular I need help with the last line of the fourth stanza and the third line of the third stanza.

Thankies!

I'm wondering if it's worth entering my horse in a led show, but I know little about conformation. Does my horse have good conformation?

She is a 14 year old appaloosa mare. She was a broodmare for a few years and had 2 foals. I think she may need to build up her hind quarters and top line but I'm not sure how to. Is it worth getting a market harborough?

Pictures:

She was kinda standing funny so if they're not good enough I'll try and get some more.

My horse's eye producing a teary, wet discharge and she has a pink spot on her eyelid. Her other eye is normal.

If it is serious I fully intend on taking her to the vet, I just want some idea of what the problem could be first. I would like answers that are more detailed than just 'take her to the vet.' Thanks

It is rather dusty around here at the moment, I'm not sure if that could be the cause. Is the pink spot normal? She is an appaloosa.

Too many characters to post here...

Please read my short story: http://pastebay.com/112667

It's for a magazine aimed at 10-15 year olds. Should I use it or go with another 'lighter' idea? Any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated, thanks :)

This is my other story, which starts the same way but ended up in a different direction :P
