Resolved Question: romeo juliet help i dont understand?

i have to write a summary of act 2 scene 2 Act 2, Scene 2 SCENE II. Capulet's orchard. Enter ROMEO ROMEO He jests at scars that never felt a wound. JULIET appears above at a window But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief, That thou her maid art far more fair than she: Be not her maid, since she is envious; Her vestal livery is but sick and green And none but fools do wear it; cast it off. It is my lady, O, it is my love! O, that she knew she were! She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that? Her eye discourses; I will answer it. I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks: Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Having some business, do entreat her eyes To twinkle in their spheres till they return. What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars, As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven Would through the airy region stream so bright That birds would sing and think it were not night. See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand! O, that I were a glove upon that hand, That I might touch that cheek! more

Resolved Question: Do these names suit these characters? 10 easy points!?

Okay so do these names fit these characters? Clarissa Grace: Very impulsive and talkative. She has blond hair, porcelain skin, and bright green eyes. Her 'Warden' is her cat, Persephone. Clarissa is terrified of clowns, despite being a Huntress. Mason Harcourt: If the words 'sarcasm' and 'A-hole' had a child, Mason would be IT. He has dark hair, coffee black eyes, and skin almost as pale as Clarissa's. He has a long, scarlet red scar under his left eye. Mason's 'Warden' is his raven, Trix. Mason's only fear is cats. Yeah, that's right. Cats. Miranda Robinson: Clarissa's goth-ish best friend. Miranda was once popular, before she started dating Joey Bennett. It all went down hill from there. Miranda has violet hair( which had once beena very handsome shade of auburn), amber eyes, and beige skin. Her catchphrase is: "Yeah, I went there". Miranda is a very bad speller. Ohkay, so these are the only characters I've bothered to develop. If you could change these names, which names would you change them to?Yes, I'll admit it: Miranda is a poser. She ends up being the betrayer in the story. more

Resolved Question: Is this a good attention-grabbing start?

I stared down at my old home. The walls were blackened from fire and brittle from age, while the roof they supported slanted to the side. At the side, the weight of the tinder and clay combined had pushed a massive, gaping hole through the top. A giant birch tree towered over the gap, strewing the floor with leaves. It had been my home, and only my home, for ages. And it was to be taken from me tomorrow. The trees shook as my anger bubbled to the surface, and I sprang down the hill and away from the abode. Had the village forgotten us so easily? How could they, when it was the violence that took my family that still gave the children nightmares? The tragedy that struck me had not only affected me, but the entire town! I closed my eyes and saw flames, covering my life. The long, red scar down my arm burned with remembrance, and I forced the memory away. What was done had been done. It was over. I was no longer a part of it. I slowed to a walk. My feet made no noise against the cobblestone street of town, and I vaguely noticed a cluster of villagers near the well. Naturally, I could hear their conversation, but as the topic came to me, I wished for once that I was deaf. “Heard that the mother ran out—that’s why they’re desperate for anything,” said Mrs. Horst, one of the town’s best gossipers. “Joe said they were practically singing when they heard that we had a house available.” “Available?” said another woman, who I identified as Mrs. Birgit. “What lie did Joe have to tell to get them to swallow that one? I wouldn’t live there if you paid me—thing’s about to collapse. Wonder that it didn’t already.” “But it hasn’t, and that’s the chilling thing about it! Who knows what that family’ll find in there? Rats? Spiders? Perhaps…spirits?” A woman who I couldn’t recognize cackled under her hood. “They never did find that girl, mind you. Probably ran away!” I stiffened. “But, in all terms—,” She dropped her voice to a whisper and leaned in closer—“I’m not sure that she ever left.” There was silence between the old women. Then Mrs. Horst scoffed, and said,” “And you honestly believe in that superstition? Mystical beings, my hat!” The wives laughed and bade each other good night. I stood glaring at them, and turned on the spot. Mrs. Horst, Birgit, all the townsfolk, they had all been so nice to me, always complimenting my black—almost purple--hair, my bright green eyes, my wonderful talents. They would chat with me whenever I came into town. When I was gone, however, the statements turned. “Always a rather odd girl, forever spending her time in those woods. I’ve been in there, and it was beautiful of course, but so uninteresting! Just dirt and trees. Then she would always be listening to the strangest music, composing strange songs on the piano, it was just strange! I’m not saying it’s not unfortunate that she’s gone, but—.” Those were always the points my grief overcame me, and I left before I could cause a scene. That was three years ago. It’s not a topic of conversation anymore. If those people only knew how hard I worked to keep them safe each day… Without exactly knowing where I was heading, I walked back to my house. I jumped onto the first branch and hoisted myself up to the top. From there, I leapt into my room. What remained of my bed was burned and covered in leaves. They made a canopy over my floor. There were my old books, scattered all over the wooden floorboards. My room was still a white-washed blue, but it had brown marks from where the flames and power had touched it. Other than the books, twigs, and leaves, what was left of my room was bare. Pawn shoppers had made sure to take all the valuables. I sank down to the ground. Tomorrow, my sanctuary would no longer be mine. No more would this be Aariana’s room. No longer would the villagers be afraid to look at the home. They would instead come in, complementing the grandness of the house. They would even come up to my room, but it would not look like my room. They would, I thought with a sob, be thinking of the peace of the house. No one would remember my family. I gasped, and a tear ran down my face. No one would think of Aari Veylia, the sadness over losing her and her family from the town. I was a spirit, doomed to protect the world as part of the Avira from the horror of the shadows of darkness. And tomorrow, my legacy would be lost forever. I curled up on my side and drifted off into the ghost’s reverie.http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2613316/1/Darkest_Apart more

Resolved Question: I really need feedback on this writing!?

I'm entering this for my final grade, any critical encoragement/help accepted! remember this is copywrited, if you are to ever copy and publish this you WILL be fined. yay! Sorry a bit mama-bear protective over my work....enjoy!\ Chapter 1 It wasn't Jeremy's fault. He hadn't planned to push Sophie off. He held his hands out, implying that yes, maybe he would. He wasn't going to, though. He would never do that. But then, from behind him, there was a shove. Someone was there, on the roof of an eighty story, abandoned, falling apart building, and just randomly decided to shove Jeremy and make him do exactly what he had planned not to do. That is what he told the police. That is the story they didn't believe. Why didn't he lie, and say that Sophie simply fell? That crossed his mind every single time he reflected on his interrogation. But what sounds more believable; Something pushing him forward, causing him to collide with Sophie, making her fall, and the thing disappearing when he turned around, or that a woman in flats fell off a building by herself..........a building with a ratty nine-foot safety fence? If Sophie had simply fallen, the net, though fragile, would have saved her. So that lie would have gotten him kicked in jail just as much as the truth. Maybe they would have believed she commited suicide. She simply pushed herself through the rope fence. Because she was depressed? Because her boyfriend had cheated on her? Because she lost her job and had nobody to go to? But she would have had Jeremy to go to. She didn't have a boyfriend, and was the happiest woman in the world. Jeremy wasn't a good liar. Jeremy remembered the feeling of the cold hands on his back, shoving him off balance. They had felt almost........metallic. Chapter 2 Jude raced through the street market, the road damp with rain. His black hair was slicked back from his smooth forehead and ageless face. Everyone said Jude was lucky, for looking like he had never aged a day since his 20's. Jude was 38. He turned a corner and entered a little shop, dimly lit with random thigs for sale, like bamboo lamps and kitty clocks. Jude had never bought a lamp. He hadn't a home to put one in. Walking down a tiny stairway, Jude came to a small red door. He fumbled with his keys, cursing when he dropped them in his rush, and quickly opened it. "Carmen?" he shouted when he barged into the dark room. There was a blue light from around a turn. He sprinted up to it, and saw some thin figure, hunched over a table. A little flamethrower, Jude had forgotten the name of that kind, was busily working away at two pieces of iron. The person put the tool down, and turned, lifting it's welding mask, to look at Jude. It was a woman, hair equally dark as Jude's framing her thin face. She squealed and ran up to the man, embracing him in a warm hug. (Literally, her suit had been heated from the fire.) She stood back, arms still on his, and they studied each other. Carmen, the woman, could have been pretty. But a scar ran along her cheek, and she was too thin. Jude, a bit shocked to see his old lab partener like this, had pale, flawless skin, sharp features, and a long, handsome face. Carmen grabbed Jude's hand and led him towards the little counter she had been working on. There, on the counter, was a tiny chip, purple with green wires. Alongside it was a red chip, with tiny blue wires running through it. It was much smaller, at least half the size of the purple chip. Jude ran his white fingers across them, and turned to Carmen. "What are they for?" he implored in a soft voice that sounded like the ocean. Carmen grabbed a pair of tweezers from her workbench and picked the purple chip up. "They're my latest invention. I haven't named them quite yet. I just pop them in your skin, and I can track you on a little monitor." Carmen replied, tapping a green, flashing glass screen with her long fingernail. "Hasn't that been created?" interrogated Jude. "Yes, but I'm not finished! With it, the creator-me-can talk to the wearer-you, for example-and, if necessary, control your movements. It's Hong Kong, Jude. It's frightening out there!" Carmen picked up a shiny silver thing from the counter. "But why in the world would you-AUGH!" Jude screamed in pain as Carmen made an incision in his skin. It didn't bleed, as Carmen sewed it up too fast for that. "I have planted one in your arm." she informed Jude. "Yes, I can see that!" groaned Jude, cupping a hand over his cut. Carmen turned sadly to the second chip, the red one. "But there has been a problem with my work. You see, I must plant this scarlet chip in another person, by just sticking it to them. It stays, because I put some super-sticky-" "Why?" "It is for self-destruct. If something goes wrong, I press a button, and your automatic command is to destroy yourself." "So you're saying you've planted a mind control device inside of me, is that it?" buzzed Jude, more

Distant visual acuity of any degree that does not correct with spectacle lenses to at least one of the following: (1) 20/40 in one eye and 20/70 in the other eye. (2) 20/30 in one eye and 20/100 in the other eye. (3) 20/20 in one eye and 20/400 in the other eye. However, for entrance into USMA or ROTC, distant visual acuity that does not correct to 20/20 in one eye and 20/40 in the other eye is disqualifying. For entrance into OCS, distant visual acuity that does not correct to 20/20 in one eye and 20/100 in the other eye is disqualifying. b. Near visual acuity of any degree that does not correct to 20/40 in the better eye. c. Refractive error (hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism), in any spherical equivalent of worse than -8.00 or +8.00 diopters; if ordinary spectacles cause discomfort by reason of ghost images or prismatic displacement; or if corrected by orthokeratology or keratorefractive surgery. However, for entrance into USMA or Army ROTC programs, the following conditions are disqualifying: (1) Astigmatism, all types over 3 diopters. (2) Hyperopia over 8.00 diopters spherical equivalent. (3) Myopia over 8 diopters spherical equivalent. (4) Refractive error corrected by orthokeratology or keratorefractive surgery. d. Contact lenses. Complicated cases requiring contact lenses for adequate correction of vision, such as corneal scars and irregular astigmatism. e. Color vision. Although there is no standard, color vision will be tested because adequate color vision is a prerequisite for entry into many military specialties. However, for entrance into the USMA or Army ROTC or OCS programs, the inability to distinguish and identify without confusion the color of an object, substance, material, or light that is uniformly colored a vivid red or vivid green is disqualifying. more

Resolved Question: Can you give me some CHARACTER NAME HELP?

I'm starting to write a story idea that I had for a while, but I'm not exactly sure about the names of the characters. The story is about a future dystopia. There are a few sci-fi and fantasy elements in it, but it’s set in New York and I wouldn’t consider the book either genre. Female: The age is somewhere between 16-19. Long, dark red hair cascades down her shoulders framing her oval face. Deep, pale blue eyes stare out from under shaggy bangs, and freckles dot her fair skin. She is a thinker, conversations are always going on in her mind. Some people interpret her quietness as a ?, but she is always watching and listening to what is going on around her. Even though she ? she can be very stubborn. She has a hard time trusting people, and doesn‘t share much about herself to others. In order to earn her trust you need to prove yourself. This results in making her seem a bit "cold" and disconnected with the other people around her. She looks out for herself, and only herself. Not because she is mean, but that is just how the world is where this book is set. It’s dangerous. For the female I want an interesting, and not extremely common. Male: The age is somewhere between 17-20. Light green eyes speckled with gold peak out from under short, yet slightly shaggy hair that brush his eyes. He has a small scar that sits a top his lip, a long nose, and lean build. He is an "everyone’s best friend" type of person that always tries to be nice, even when that might put him in more danger than it's worth. He has a clear idea of what he thinks is right and wrong. Usually him and the girl character disagree about morals. He is thrown into this dangerous world without a lot of knowledge so he can be naive about a lot of things. He listens well and is willing to do anything to help the people he cares for. He's very determined; when he decides to do something, he does it and when he fails he tends to beat himself up about it. He could be summed up as a trusting baby sheep in a world full of wolves. For the male I want something that "everyone’s best friend" would be named, but I don't want it too common. I now these descriptions don't explain much, but any suggestions on first names are welcome. Last name suggestions are welcome too, but not as important. Please remember, this is set in the future, so try to consider that when you are choosing names! I don't have many perticulars for the names I want. I would just like them to be realistic, not something crazy and way out there, but still unique and uncommon, because it's set in the future. Thanks for your answers in advance! more

Resolved Question: Cheek/dimple piercing lump?

I've had my cheeks pierced for a little over a month and the healing process has been going pretty well. But after about a week that I got them pierced and the swelling went down I had these big knot type balls around them. They don't seem infected at all. White puss comes out but it isn't yellow or green, so everything seems normal. But It's just getting annoying having these lumps around my cheek. It's not even a lump, it feels more like hard tissue around it. Maybe this is just a build up of scar tissue but does anyone know of anything I can do to get rid of them? I already rinse my mouth with saline solution and do sea salt soaks daily, as well as using mouth wash. I would just like to know what is causing this hard swelling and how I can fix it. Thanks so much. :) more

Resolved Question: How to get rid of my freckles?

ok so i found these remedies and can you tell me if they work! Make a smooth paste of oatmeal powder and yogurt, apply on the freckles and leave for 20 minutes and wash with cold water.You can do this once or twice a week to see any difference. FACE: I had pimple scars, discolorations, many freckles, age/sun spots, uneven and sun damaged skin, even moles and this completely got rid of them all. Use a natural oil - olive oils work really well - and massage over and over quite vigorously (that is the key to it working!) Do with a "to and fro" action not a circular one, using tips, sides and front of fingers. As skin has to adjust, gradually build to a 20 min or more daily treatment(can do in one, two or more sessions) for fastest results).They will fade completely overtime. If apply to whole face it will give you a completely clear, totally blemish free, healthy and glowing skin. You will not need to use any other treatment or product ever again. HANDS/ARMS/LEGS: Use a softer type rectangular hand held green pan scrubber, dip in oil and rub repeatedly directly on the spots - reddening of skin is OK but be careful not to overdo.Skin quickly adjusts. you can rub more strongly in a day or two. See distinct fading in one week. Keep it up and they will completely vanish. If use sunscreen apply on top of the oil, It is equally, if not more, protective and the oil protects from harmful sunscreen ingredients. I am in intense sun for many hours and with one application of even an spf 15 sunscreen I get complete protection and.never burn nor get any sun damage. i got freckles because i hate wearing sunscreen cause only get tan by burning and then it turns into a tan! we were in tahiti and i was swimming all day and my mom kept bothering me and i was like mom i have to get a tan and i have a bunch of freckles! so i was wondering what remedies (if those don't work) are there besides lemon juice! I HATE THEM SO DON'T TELL ME THERE CUTE!!!!yeahhh., trust me i will NEVER EMBRACE THEM!!!! more

Resolved Question: Readers please answer?

Okay, I haven't finished this book yet, but does this sound like a powerful ending that might lead to a second book? Aklika's knees buckled underneath her at the realization of what she had done. Her beloved brother Thezia lay dead, or very close to death in front of her. His blood was spilled all over the Flowers that filled the small meadow. It was horrid. She clambered to her feet and used earthblood mixed with red ocher to make the death mark on his forehead. She tried to ignore the spirit hunter tattoo on his forehead. A soft warm rain was falling around them. Aklika ran her hands through her dead brother's red hair. He had a slight smile on his face. Tenrek came and kneeled by Aklika. The large puckered scar on his leg showed. "Aklika, I'm sorry. I know it was hard for you but-" Aklika cut him short. "But it was best for the clans. I know, but he was my brother! We are bound by the blood!" she whispered, nearly sobbing. "This place, we used to play here as kids. We were the only ones who knew about this." Aklika's red hair was glued to her face by the rain. Her green eyes were filled with tears. Tenrek lifted her head with one large hand. "Don't worry. His spirits will find their way to the tree of life and be reborn. Just don't worry," his voice trailed off. "This isn't the first person I will have to kill," Aklika sobbed quietly. Hot tears were streaming down her face. "There are still nine left." Tenrek sighed. "Let's give him a proper burial, and then we can keep with the Wolf clan for awhile. Come now, don't cry." And with that, the two outcasts left, hand in hand, bound by the heart, and also by sadness. more

Resolved Question: What do you think of this poem I wrote?

Cancer. I can see the cancer flowing through her veins I watch as it pulsates with her heartbeat and dances to a rhythm It’s dawdling poisonous venom slowly filling up her insides I can’t see it but I can surely feel it. Thread veins and all; the venom spreads through my lover’s lifelines It races and runs under her greying transparent delicate skin It croaks and croons under her fragile bones. My fingers make a pattern perfectly between each of her fragile ribs She takes another cigarette to her broken lips and takes an elongated intoxication; violent and rigid. I kiss her rough mouth hard with my virgin lips She tastes of smoke and gin and everything between. Her eyes glisten green shining in front of the bedside lamp Love was absent the night we fondled in her father’s bed. It was anywhere but there. Does love go on vacation? I ponder and make fleshy butterflies from my outstretched fingers. Probably. She falls asleep and I fall in thought. Isn’t it curious how your fingers fit perfectly between each of my emaciated ribs? Or how your breath mimics mine with delayed accuracy? I write awkward childish poetry in my head. Her mousy hair falls across the nape of her neck resembling a bridge. A beautiful marvellous bridge that people come to visit from afar with diamonds and rubies and encrusted wholly with love. I hate the way you make me love you. I’m not scared of ghosts or the dark nothing but the moment you leave. All that will be left of me is a never-ending gaping hole of earth and lust searching for a tender warm mother’s breast. Sometimes I think you’re just a mess of badly drawn lines. You’re just scrawled veins beneath paper rough skin You wear poorly sketched scars on your thighs; skin deep red pen lines. Even your smile is lop-sided- but I never seem to notice. Your skin, spread like thick icing over your skeleton, is a repetitive pattern of pores A stretch of the world the sun never kissed. You can’t see the beauty in multitudes of freckles and chipped fingernails- but I do. I watch as your eyes make their way around the back of your head, searching for peace. I hold you; inhale like you are a sample of expensive designer perfume. I watch as my lover lies bare, soulless in my colourless remote freckled arms I cast my mind back and recall all the moments you comprised of that ultimately led to this. one. more

Resolved Question: Please give an opnion on my poem, a lot of work was put into this?

Thank you:) Heaven on Earth Fly away with me. The stars will lead the way. Swim away with me. The moon light will lead us to the bay. Walk away with me. Our minds will not lead astray. Crawl away me with me. We escape the darkness seeping in on cracks of day. Lay with me as a new world begins. Forget the way we lived before. a pure and unworldly web we spin. Take a chance on the voice within. Let’s live a life with color. Blues and greens and many others. Its our choice now. We choose the way. Fly away with me. Let’s paint the world we play. Swim away with me. Let the oceans take our hold. Walk away with me. We walk along the sandy sea. The web unravels. Colors burst covering distance traveled. Flowers bloom on rolling hill. Fresh air carries the scent they spill. Heaven on earth we made our home. A world untouched we are free to roam. Weeks pass and our hearts ache. Night after night racing mind keep us awake. Even during hearts escape there is the truth we can not shake. Under lies and wounded hearts, there is a knife still carving scars. Together in this lovely world two souls grow barren alone and cold. Slowly the darkness creeps in. Contaminating the world they spin. now with hearts filled with hate they make the choice to separate. now facing acts of fleshly delusion. running away from fact is mere illusion. Sky grows dark and never passing. Mind ticks ever lasting. more

Voting Question: How should i lead on from this?

Where was she? A vivid, radiant, bright light blinded her eyes. She thought of books she had read on earth about going to Heaven they describe a bright light that took you to the gates of heaven. Was this the light? In that moment she felt her stomach churn with a mix of nerves and excitement. Was she really going to Heaven? She expected that the next thing she would have seen would be the grand gates of Heaven surrounded by white fluffy clouds and angles making the most magical music she would have ever heard. She couldn’t believe that soon she may be in Promised Land. But as the light started to fade; there were no white clouds, no angles playing harps and certainly no grand gates. All there was the automatic doors to Morrison’s Congleton. As she walked towards the doors of Morrison’s Congleton she was baffled to why she was here! She sat down under the green canopy outside the door on the small red brick walls. She had spent her whole life trying to get away from this life. She looked towards the metal bench inside where she saw what she was would call ‘old biddies’. The women sat there with their tartan shopping bags on wheels. The men were sat with very little hair and peachy age spots covering their worn skin. As she looked down she now realised that she was an ‘old biddy’ too. She no longer had the body of an 18 year old; she had the body of an old women. Her stomach showed the scars of child birth and neglect while her legs were no longer slender muscle, they were cellulite hams. At that moment she felt a voice inside her head telling her to go in. When she did this she felt a pull towards one particular isle; the narrow Isle. This isle as she remembered caused a lot of confusion it was about one metre wide and usually filled with mothers fighting over who gets the last bottle of Heinz tomato sauce. As she approached the isle, she could hear a familiar voice that she hadn’t heard in a lifetime. As soon as she turned the corner a women clung to her; she felt completely bewildered. However this women’s hug felt familiar. She smelt like a mixture of cotton and coffee. There was only one person this could be, Nanny. As her nanny let go her eyes were instantly drawn to her Nanny’s leg, she couldn’t believe her eyes she was wearing the grey tracksuit bottoms and the cream body warmer. The grey tracksuit bottoms drowned her small frame. ‘’Nanny!’’ she exclaimed, overjoyed but confused. ‘’Sarah, how are your children?’’ Nanny replied. Sarah was now really flustered, how did her Nanny now that she had children, she died when Sarah was 21, 10 years before she had children. ‘’What? How do you know I have children?’’ ....... Sorry there are probably a lot of mistakes i am just not sure where to go next? Thanks in adavance for your help :) more

Carter sat in her tree-house reading an elegant book. It had a smooth earth-green cover made of leather. It read on the front in gold letters “Magic and how it works”. Carter was in the middle of it. She wanted to used magic, but her father and mother would torture her if they found out she was studying magic. One time Carter tried the subject with them and it went from calmness to bizarreness! They reacted horribly! Although she didn’t know what she did, Carter developed an interest for magic. She still had school throughout the year, but she wasn’t worried. Carter was home schooled. She had been since she was only seven-year-old. Carter always knew her parents were hiding something, but nothing came to mind. She did really well. A’s in all classes. Her parents always bought her, her favorite thing she wanted most once the grades were all A’s. Carter knew there was something with her parents, but she didn’t ask. She continued reading: Many people think that dragons and dwarfs are myths. Is this true? No. They are real. As real as can be. They are hidden in books. If you’re a traveling wizard you will be able to do this. If you are a potion wizard you won’t. If you are a mortal you can change into a traveling wizard by trying this experiment. My name is Katie. I was a mortal once but I changed into a traveling wizard with one flick of a wand. First you have to go and get a wand at the wand shop in CENT CAVE. There are thousands of shops in the dark cave. You’ll need a flashlight even in the day time. You’ll also need robes, a pet, and…I’ll send you a note secretly and directions. You see, I have a scanner so I know who is reading this. Thanks for reading this entry. Turn the page for the next one. Carter put the book down completely frozen. She guess she was going to “Cent Cave”. Carter went into the door as it swung open and hit her across her cheek. Her cheek was full of blood and scrapes that would be too bad to disappear. They would turn into scars. “Ha, Ha!” laughed Carter’s little brother, Joey in her face. Carter looked at him eyes turning red then back to the regular shade, green. Joey ran for dear life screaming. Carter had chestnut-brown hair and emerald-green eyes. She was funny, nice, calm, adventurous, courageous, and fun. She loves to read, write, and go on her “missions”. Carter felt like running after Joey, but she would just get in trouble so she had to let it go. Carter took grasp in her hands and became stronger. She may’ve been made-fun-of in school, but Carter never gave up. She may’ve gotten in trouble for things she didn’t even do, but she never ever gave up. Carter wasn’t a quitter. “You go, girl.” said a voice in Carter’s mind. “Yes and then she made scary red things with her eyes.” came Joey’s baby’s voice. He was only five-year-old, but he could’ve talked a little bit more maturely. “Ok, let’s go talk to her.” came Carter’s mother’s voice. Her mother’s name was Isabella. They came up in front of Carter and Isabella crossed her arms tapping her toes on the ground. “Care to explain?” she asked sternly not paying attention to Carter’s scratch on her cheek. “Well I was coming up to the door and Joey flung it open making scars on my cheek. Then I did this uncontrollable thing with my eyes and he got scared and ran off.” explained Carter politely. “Your grounded. Don’t scare your little brother like that. He doesn’t know any better.” said Isabella pointing to the stairs. Carter glared at her brother and her mother. Then she ran up the staircase. The upstairs hall had red carpet and red walls. Elegantly brown doors hand-carved. Carter ran down the hallway to the right and up another staircase to a third floor. She went to the third door on the left-side and opened it politely.

Resolved Question: I get these boils filled with green puss, and they don't stop coming?

They last a week. It first fills up and forms a big swell. It forms a head and comes to the popping state. I have to take out the puss and then lots of blood and finally some stuff like puss but more solid and sticks to the skin. They leave a cavity in the surface(pic) and later a ugly scar. I went to the Doctor twice and he said these are heat boils that catch infection and gave me medicine to stop the infection from spreading. what should I do to stop these for ever?

Voting Question: Do I have every right to be upset?

My grandmum. She's crazy, even before I was born she hated me the moment she found out I was a girl. Apparently, when my parents had no money and were filthy poor, the most she could do was give us a place to stay. She never helped my very pregnant mum with anything and often talked behind her back, my mom was a very happy person until she got to knw my dads family. When I was born, she didn't have a penny to spare and she didn't let my grandpa help either. But when my brother was born three years later, they gave him gold charms and brand new clothes, AND my grandma, the one that hates me, got him a very fancy crib. When I was a baby she jinxed me, I used to have olive green eyes and now they're pitchblack to dark brown. She bit my ear really hard when I was 8 and said she did it cause she loved me. I still have the scar. And on top of everything, everytime they call or we see them they're always running to my little brother first. They call me by my name, but they call him stuff like sweety and darling. They hated me before I was even born, so do I have the right to hate her guts? more

Resolved Question: What do you think of this excerpt of my story?

It's called Amber is Gone and well...just read and tell me what you think...this is not the beginning and it is only part of it.. I didn’t wear black because I was Goth or because I was dysfunctional. I wore it because I could. It just seemed natural to me. Like you just know you’re supposed to. I told this to my therapist once, and she abruptly asked me if I missed Amber. “Miss Jennifer,” I said calmly, “Have you ever seen someone kidnapped?” “Well, no,” She responded in that therapist type voice that I hate. “Oh?” I said as if this shocked me or even amused me in a sick little way. She run her hand through her hair self consciously. “And did…” I leaned in closer, widening my eyes, imitating exactly the way she did, “did your father leave you when you needed him the most?” I knew that her father hadn’t left her. There was a picture on her desk right in front of me of her family when she was graduating from college. “Rayne, I-” “Yeah, that’s what I thought, Miss Jennifer. This session is over,” I stalked out of her office. How dare she ask me if I missed Amber! As if the expression I wore everyday didn’t advertise it! As if I’m not scarred for life from that incident on Main Street! How dare she! I began to run down the sidewalk, getting dirty looks from everyone I bumped into. I knew exactly where I was going though. As I turned down a back road, the thought whispered in my mind that maybe I shouldn’t do it. It couldn’t possibly still be the way it- I stopped short when it suddenly appeared right in front of me. The big white house Amber lived in on the outskirts of town, all it’s majestic glory gone. It looked slightly grey without the Wright family occupying it and the great laughter from Amber and her sister Halle that lived there. I could almost hear it if I tried hard enough. I walked up to the screen door and pulled. It was unlocked. I tried the big door, and it was not. I hoped that the key they kept in the loose brick on the side of the house was still there. Yes! It was. I knew what I was doing was considered trespassing, breaking and entering, and probably lots of other things, but I was barely thinking this as the door slipped open with a sharp click! and I was in. Everything was the same minus the nice furniture and appliances that used to fill the house. There was a rumor around the school that they had kept Amber’s room the same, and they hadn’t taken anything with them when the moved away. Just left it like it was when she left it. I didn’t believe it at first, but at that moment, I really wanted to. I wanted to open that door and everything be the same. The box of pizza we left on the bed that day she was taken because we were in a hurry to catch the sales at the little shops on Main Street. Her cell phone to be plugged in the wall like it always was. Boots in the floor, hairdryer dangling dangerously off the dresser but never falling, duffel bag packed and ready to stay the night at my house. I prayed and prayed for it to be like this when I went it. But I stopped at the door and got a flash of myself a year ago, standing in this exact place, rocking back and forth on my feet, hand on the doorknob, eyes closed and imagining that Amber was on the other side with her head in a book, eagerly anticipating my arrival. I thrust the door open with all my strength. Dust flew everywhere, but there was nothing but the flowered wallpaper and the lime green walls I had become so familiar with. Everything was gone. I spun around and around, trying to find something that would give me a morsel of hope that Amber’s spirit was still in the room, but I got nothing. Collapsing into a dizzy heap on the floor, I put my head in my hands and cried. more

Resolved Question: Please rate my poem!?

On a scale.. 1-10, how good is it? please critique me so i can change it if it needs some change! (: The girl with white sneakers Walks down an alleyway Carrying her books along. On a warm winters day, A gentle breeze spirals around She lets down her dark hair, for everyone to see It covers her face, her emerald green eyes No one seems to notice. Though she is silent, she knows whats going on People are easy to read. A boy on her mind, But no ordinary boy. He is bitter sweetly amazing His laugh is contagious, And his curly locks are wonderful His eyes are full of pain, as are mine And our scars always seem to intertwine We sit on the sidewalk, behind the building in the dark Speaking our opinions ever so freely. A whole new person comes out, As I begin to fall… Not madly in love, but something more than that. Something I’ll have to find out. Under the stars, she feels his embrace Hoping to find a kiss with true meaning To find love at their age… That would be simply amazing. Always by his side Never looking back, Although the past sometimes hurt Hes going to protect me, No matter what happens, Hes my other half. The girl in white sneakers closes her eyes. Remembering her broken heart. A tear drops down, falling onto the phone. Saying “This can’t be true.” …I really loved you. Why did you have to betray me? The girl in black sneakers does not wear the white ones anymore. A symbol-- that she no longer believes. more

Resolved Question: Can you read this story and tell me if its a good start?

The name of my book is going to be Servian, but, I want to know if its worth finishing. His feet started to throb as he jogged through the scenic Downtown Park, trying to rid all the stress that built through the day. His heart was racing faster and faster with every minute that passed. The wind started to blow making the front of his sweat soaked shirt cold against his bare skinned chest. He found a bench underneath a half naked oak tree. To him it looked like heaven while to others it was just a normal green wooden bench with Downtown Park painted on the back of it. As he sat down he could hear the sound of the wind blowing through the trees and the sound of the birds singing their never-ending songs of peace and harmony. He started to think about his soon-to-be fiance Amy. She was beautiful; long brown curly hair with a hint of blonde highlights, and a smile that would make you happy on the gloomiest of days. He had purchased the engagement ring just hours before he went on his routine jog. It was a beautiful ring, shiny eighteen carrot white gold band with a three carrot diamond. He purchased it at The Olde Market Jewelry on Olde Market Street. The jewelry store was small but very nice. It had the biggest selection of Jewelry on this side Los Angeles. He planned on “popping” the question on news years day, exactly two months away. Him and Amy had meet six years ago and started seeing each other on new years day. He had meet her at the college they both attended, University of South California. He was going the be a lawyer, while, Amy was going to be an elementary school math teacher. She loved kids and everything to do with them. As he stood back up to finish his jog he heard someone call his name, he turned towards the voice, but, seen nothing there. Thinking he might have been hearing things he turned back the other way, but, heard it again. When he turned around again he seen a strange looking man leaning on the side of the oak tree. He had black hair and a scar that went across his face. He pushed himself away from the tree and slowly made his way towards him. “Hello Jeffery, my name is Robert Rodgers and I am part of a secret association called The Servian, and I have some urgent news to speak of....but we can't speak no more of this here....meet me at the old church on Liberty Street and we will discuss this matter farther.” “Who are you and why do you need me?” Jeffery said angered. “I'd expect you be there.” Said Rodgers in a demanding tone. Jeffery closed his eyes to hide his eagerness, by the time he opened his eyes the strange man had gone, vanished. Soooo. what do you think? more

Resolved Question: Why should I continue living?

Please don't read this if you aren't willing to give an honest reply, or are going to degrade/criticize me. I am a 16 year old girl in 11th grade. My GPA is 3.58 and I get mostly As and Bs. I tanked my GPA in 9th grade with a foolish blunder: a C in English, second quarter. I'm currently going for the IB Diploma (http://www.ibo.org/diploma/) and am taking all of the really hard, advanced classes. I fear that this will affect my GPA a lot, and I know that colleges don't just look at that, they also look at how hard your courses are and your test scores, but I can't help worrying. I took the Pre-SAT and ranked somewhere in the high 80th percentile, whereas almost everyone else I know ranked 90th or better. I'm surrounded by greatness and I fear that I'm not cutting it. I applied to the NHS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Honor_Society), and out of the 63 students from my school that applied, 17 weren't chosen, and I was one of them. I was talking later with a friend about it and she said that she got in, even though she only wrote down four things and didn't have a very good essay. I'm starting to doubt my ability to get the IB Diploma. I'm on my school's Robotics team and aspire to become an engineer. I want to go to MIT, but I have a Popsicle's chance in hell to actually make it. I'm afraid that if I don't get in I will do something drastic, even I don't know what. I am taking a martial art called Hapkido, a form of self-defense. I really like it and I find it to be quite enjoyable and interesting, but I haven't gone in about 3 weeks. I had a partner that joined about the same time I did, but he advanced without me because I've missed a lot of classes because I've been so depressed, I don't even want to do anything any more. I still want to go, but for some reason I'm not. I feel ashamed that I haven't been going and I feel a strong sense of inadequacy when I see my partner in his green belt while I am still in my orange. This has been a recurring trend in almost everything I've done. I tried to take up Karate when I was about 7 and lost interest when I was a yellow belt. I tried fencing when I was 12, and soon lost interest. I can't seem to keep up something, even if I love it. I almost dropped out of Robotics last year, but I'm so thankful I didn't. Just a few minutes ago my dad mentioned Hapkido and I started crying. Now, I'm not a person who cries easily. That's how much this is hurting me. I really want to go. I don't know why I'm not. I can barely face myself as is. I was such a stupid freshman. I didn't pick a sport to excel in, and now, here in my Junior year, I won't be able to play in a Varsity sport, even though I really want to. I have nothing to identify myself with, other than my fairly okay grades. I'm not the 'soccer girl,' I'm not the girl who knows everything about cars, or computers, I'm not the super-smart girl, I don't even have a style of clothing that I stick to. I'm half-Goth. You'll see me wearing black one day, jeans and a T-shirt the next. I can barely do anything without other people's help. I'm scared to start driving, I'm scared to get a job, I'm scared to move out on my own. I'm scared of the unknown, of disappointing myself, of being afraid, for when you're afraid, that makes you unable to do anything. Which is what I am. Scared. I have so many bad habits, one of the worst being that I pick my scabs. I used to have really nice skin on my face in middle school. It was soft and pale, barely a blemish on it. Now, in high school, I have scars and blemishes all over my face because I can't stop picking at every little bump until it comes off, even if it does start to bleed. That creates a scab, which I pick then, and it widens until I have a huge red scab on my face. At this moment, I have about five on my face and five on my forehead, which I'm hiding most of with bangs. I can't seem to shake this nasty habit, as well as me biting my fingernails. I'm filled with self-doubt and a sense of inadequacy. I could go on, but I can't type fast enough to say what I want to. I am seeing a psychiatrist, and I think it's been helping. In general, I'm less depressed now, but when I do get fits of depression, they're really bad, like now. I just... don't know what to live for any more. I'm sure by tomorrow this ridiculous attitude will have passed and I'll be fine again. more

Resolved Question: Do you like the poems I wrote?

Six feet under can be quite drastic Whisper goodbye and lower the casket Death took a visit: committing its crime Needless to say you ran out of time Like an earthquake so quick, so unexpected, uninvited Left my world in destruction, dead ended, road divided The flowers bring no comfort, like you they cannot say Momentary fragile life, watch the colors fade away The cut is stitched shut, I’m just a human now damaged I’m left with the scar, vulnerable, trying to manage Put the tape back in, rewind, and press play Our song wasn’t over; there was so much left to say The remains of our lyrics … are forever left unsaid Ended at mid-tune at the news that you’re dead Feather -drifting in this world, the wind begins to blow From up high looking out over the vacant world below Sink back down into the life I lead, I’m lost without a doubt Everything I used to be I’m now forced to live without Live with no regret and cherish what you have while its here; You never know when love will fail…or simply disappear I speak in my own language; translations they’ll never find The pain of time and living and leaving you behind In search for new purpose I scream out your name The only reply I receive is the silence of your grave No one was kidding when they said nothing lasts Now I’m left in the dark to make friends with the past Sky gets dark and the moon rolls in The sun hangs on, but never wins Turn the keys and start the car Always wonder where you are Lights come on and I’m on my way Down the streets where we used to play Mind is blank but nowhere free Hope you sometimes think of me Green lights glow as I start to fly Stars and clouds just pass me by Thoughts of you dance in my mind In a secret place you’ll never find Bright white light coming over me I do not run, just let it be People stare but no one speaks Mama drops down to her knees Dark fades in and I can’t be saved I see the path’s already paved I’ll leave my heart at your door Rain falls down and it starts to pour To My Aunty The program said at the end of the service, the coffin would be lowered into the ground. The pastor pointed to a bucket of dirt with shovel for those who wanted to symbolically say their goodbyes, but the mother shook her head. It was too much for her. She could take no more. Her remaining son cried with relief. So we left the graveside with the casket still above ground and the knowledge that as courageous as a mother's heart is, there is a breaking point and a time to say program be damned, enough is enough. more
