This is what I found on-line...\n\nThe Crystal Cave, the first book of Mary Stewart's classic Arthurian saga, begins the tale of Merlin, long before he became a magician and a druid. From his conception, the unlikely offspring of a Welsh king's daughter and his enemy's son was more than he seemed.\n\nAs a child, he had the Sight and a talent for remaining unnoticed while he gleaned information. An intelligent and quick child, he often knew who was coming before they arrived. Merlin also knew when his uncle offered him a poisoned peach. This ability was dangerous, and led him to study the natural world with Galapas. The night that his grandfather died, Merlin was able to escape the tender mercies of his uncle Camlach by setting a fire to cover his escape.\n\nHe fled to Brittany, not entirely under his own power, and met with Ambrosius, a powerful man who planned to depose Vortigern to become King of Britain. Soon, he becomes a friend to Ambrosius, though seen as a rival by Uther, Ambrosius' brother and war leader. With his Sight and further training as a druid and an engineer, Merlin's brains are as vital to the campaign of Ambrosius as Uther's brawn.\n\nOn a reconnaissance trip to Wales, Merlin is brought to the attention of Vortigern. There, he proves Vortigern's advisers wrong, and with his engineering skills helps to build a wall that previously would not stand. So begins Merlin's rise as the power behind the throne of Britain. This book follows Merlin's exploits, and ends with the magic and trickery surrounding the conception of Arthur -- the bedding of Uther and Ygraine.\n\nThough Merlin's youth is surrounded in mystery and legend, Stewart crafts these tales into a winning novel that gives the reader a sense of Merlin as a person rather than as an icon of Arthurian legend. Mary Stewart begins her series with a lovely piece of fiction that stands well on its own as well as setting the stage for Camelot.

dr zhivago(sp)   the beginning was a catcher because of a funeral and little boy that all he had left was a musical instrument. photography-because of the ice crystal houses and beautiful colors of the inside decor  it was a story of strugle, human feelings, loss of a lifestle, loss of loved ones, loss of a people, a seemingly sad, sad, story that at the end had a new start at life thru the uncle and lost neice.  the girl still had her father's musical instrument with her.\n\nthat good looking omar shariff was easy to look at.  his character was so wonderful and had tough choices to make!

1 There's sunny, a small baby, with short hair, and very sharp little spaced out teeth. She's very nice, except when someone is mean, then she bites. SHe usually only uses her teeth for good though. She only talks in ababy-like goo's and gaas that violet and her brother understand There's Violet, she's tall, with her hair always tied back when she's thiniking. She's the thiking, englineer one of the bunch. Then there's Klaus, the middle child. She has large glasses that he can't see without. He is an avid reader, and can pull unfo from his memory easily. Aunt Josephine,  a timid woman afraid of everything. Captain Sham is count Olaf in disquise. He has a peg leg. \n\n2. The theme is, "Often in life people will overcome insanely large obsactles to live, and to help their families"\n\n#3.The setting is gloomily morose (whihc means all sad and bad like)\n\n4. The conflict, in all these books, is that the children are trying to escape the deeds of Count Olaf who cleverly disquises himself in each book, attemptin got get the orphans fortune.\n\n5. They are man versus man conflicts, and tamporaily they aresolved, but they come back in the next book, with even more conflicts

Winter Dreams is very similar to F Scott Fitzgerald life. The story is about a boy from small town in Minnesota, where the author himself grew up. Plus about been accepted in society that i mean rich society.

I thought it was pretty good.  Yeah, the beginning was a bit off, but for people who have no idea of the situation in the UK at the time, it was a great way to explain the fear.  I still like the books better, fevered imaginings are usually a bit more detailed than any movie.\nIt will be interesting to see how the next movies go -- especially since there are Chronicles that are not in the same timeline.

my favorite thing about the books is that the characters are ordinary people who have extraordinary things happen to them...I like how she keeps it real..Harry has some serious powers, but still gets all tongue-tied trying to talk to a girl (Cho)\n\nI liked Prisoner of Azkaban the best so far....Half Blood Prince was really good too, but I hated the end....wonder what she has in store for us in book 7?

I show it to my Classical Civilisation class and it does follow the basic story. Most of the bits are in order and they all follow the basic plot. The best bits are Circe, Calypso and the Suitors Challenge. What it wont help you with is learning about Homer's use of language and story telling as you wont be reading it in his words. He mentions lots of other myths and legends that arent in the film version.\nOverall, I thought that the film was really good. It gives you visual help with the way that the book is plotted and helps to flesh out the characters. (PS Cyclops is really funny!).

When the children were in Narnia, they aged according to Narnia time. Although time in our world appears to stand still while in Narnia, time marches on in Narnia. This subject is discussed in the second book of the series "Prince Caspian"

There is a specifc spot in the text that describes Queen Mab 0 it's probably about 50 lines long - she is the queen of dreams, and basically put the equivilant of sleeping dust on sleepers - giving them dreams - but she tries to give them dreams they want, or dreams that willhelp them (eg the solider dreams od battle, so that he wont be scared to fight).  She is tiny, her carriage is some sort if nut i think, like an acorn shell, but it describes it right in the text - this passage is often discussion in reference to fantasy/magic, while the Baz Lurhman version of the movie equates Queen Mab with the drug ecstasy, so a rather interesting interpretation. good luck finding the correct passage! once you find it, it's all there!

No, although that would be a lovely interpretation if there weren't any background info. The professor is Digory Kirk, who also appears in The Magician's Nephew as a boy and The Last Battle as an even older man. In both cases he interacts with Aslan and is clearly human; in The Magician's Nephew Aslan helps save Digory's dying mother.\n\nSo, the reason Professor Kirk was so knowing about the whole situation was that he himself had been to Narnia as a child and knew the wardrobe came from a magical tree, not because he had any magical qualities.

I read a translation of the Illiad this summer.  and I thouhg it was pretty good.  You just have to get the translation that isn't as long. I'd say the storyline etc was 5 out of 5.  a bit of a challenge to read it but you just have to get yourself in the right mindset.
