how long did the french revolution last?
I'm popular thought? i know that a lot of people have different opinions on this one - but what is popularly accepted? my guess would be 1789-1792.
1 AnswerHistory9 years agoIs Lewis Caroll the narrator in Alice In Wonderland?
Although Alice is the focalizer and source of our point of view, there is also a voice of a narrator present in Alice in Wonderland.
For example, it is the narrator who allows us to know that "but she very seldom followed it" in the first chapter of the novel.
Is it Lewis Caroll narrating, or someone else? Please provide evidence from the text that supports your theory.
Please help!
You can disagree with my theory, if you'd like. I'm just looking for ideas.
2 AnswersBooks & Authors9 years agoA question about E-mail?
Sending and receiving letters used to play a large part in our lives. Some letters were cherished (like letters from friends at war, or post cards from family members overseas). Letter writing represented a personal form of communication.
How do you think that E-mail has made personal communication less profound and important in relation to societies emotional investment in it?
1 AnswerOther - Social Science9 years agoHow did the Internet change society?
Discuss the various ways that The Internet can be said to shape our practices and our society
So far, I've come up with simple ideas such as the following;
Communication - social networking sites allowed for "free" messaging, decreased use of telephones, changed the social ritual of phone calls into online messaging.
Social gaming - boardgames became online games, decreased family time etc..
but i'm kinda stuck. Do you have any ideas?
2 AnswersOther - Society & Culture9 years agoCOMMENTS ON MY POEM ?
In hindsight
i could have handled it better when
you threw yourself onto our bed
drowing in the sheets
with only marshmellow
pillows to keep you afloat.
You're most vivid when
we sat in hot tubs
hot boxed
in the hot summer breeze
holding out for some rainbow
that might come
after the rain
that never will
The memories of
trading glances
in the firelight
of the lantern festival
where lights inside paper
houses meant to banish bad things
but you
never seemed to mind it
no, not a bit
even if
you were the worst
thing that could have happened.
and
now I let myself drown
in the softness that is
the impression you made
sampling the blankets but
nothing ever seems as warm
as you.

4 AnswersPoetry1 decade agoJane Austen's Northanger Abbey question?
Hi there,
I am writing a paper on "Jane Austen's mischevious delight in human folly" in Northanger Abbey. I understand want it means, but what could I talk about.

2 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoMultiple sclerosis and Me?
So, here is the deal.
Since I was quite young, I've had attacks of numbness that travel around my limbs around once every two months, followed by a migrane that may last for about a week. The doctors told me that it was not MS, because the paralysis moved to quickly around my body.
Now, I've been plauged by a numb (tingling, very weak, too weak to press buttons on remotes or type) arm and hand. It has been like this for about four days now, accompanying the migrane which is remitting at the moment (but won't be for long).
I've felt quite uneasy, feeling a little under the weather and depressed. My attention at school and work has decreased and I feel myself getting less and less interested in what is going on around me. I don't know if this matters, but yeah. I am always tried, sometimes dizzy.
I dunno, I have an appointment with my specialist in a few days but I am kinda freaking out a bit. Should I be worried?

what flavor ice cream we would be
dreaming about parasols
and how the sun always managed to turn us red
without them.

4 AnswersPoetry1 decade agoA POEM; opinions please?
I wish I could have made you proud,
touch your life with hands
too small to hold resentment,
filled your half empty glass with the
treasures of lifes centemental value.
I wish you could have let me grow,
let my hands be the challase from
which you drunk to your freedom.
and although I held no colour,
i was human, living
fearing for the refundable exsistance,
life should not come and go as you
please.
but goodbye now mother,
back to my exile for the
crime of conception,
with bars just small enough
for the hands of the
forgotten child.

i have done to save us?

3 AnswersBiology1 decade ago` what do you think of this ?
We smoked cigarettes in our secret places,
drunk wine in the vineyard outside of your home,
from disposable cups of florescent colors,
thinking ourselves too old for our skins.
We watched black and white movies on Sundays,
considering ourselves akin to some timeless romance,
but we were roadrunner and whylie coyote,
always running in fear of falling to hard.
We found common ground in clumsiness,
slipping up on words we meant like 'I love you',
grinning to wide for our situation,
thinking too highly of ourselves and our smiles.
We spent summer's inside of brick houses,
afraid of the sun and what it might reveal,
thick, dusty beams of light showed glimpes of you,
a nose pinnocio would have been envious of.
