I've read Night, Dawn, and The Accident several times each. The quote didn't sound familiar, so I WikiQuoted it...\n\n"A destruction only man can provoke, only man can prevent. Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures, it is our gift to each other." \nIt's from a Nobel Lecture, 11 Decemeber, 1986.

From this book?\nThe Whales' Song\nby Dyan Sheldon, \nIllustrated by Gary Blythe \nPenguin USA \n\nISBN 0140559973 \n\n"Lilly's grandmother tells tales of singing whales who came from milesaway in answer to a child's desire to see them dance across the waves. One night, Lilly hears the whales and watches breathlessly as they 'leaped and jumped and spun across the moon.' Then, waking from what she thinks is a dream, she hears them call her name."\n\n It is a metaphor for the longing of our dreams (wish fulfilment).\nBut I don't recommend your brother put that unless he understands it, his teacher will know in a minute if he doesn't.\nLet him think about this and then put it in his own words.\n The grandmother has a long memory and remembers special times from her youth. She shares this with her grandchild because she remembers what it is like to be a child.\nThis sets Lily's imagination, her dreams, on fire. She is inspired by her grandmother's words and vision and goes on to find her own adventure in life.\nTell your brother his teacher has chosen a beautiful story for him to study.

It is a thriller story involving secret societies, conspiracies, the Catholic Church, and the fictional "truth" about Jesus Christ. Here is the author's own summary: \n\nA renowned Harvard symbologist is summoned to the Louvre Museum to examine a series of cryptic symbols relating to Da Vinci's artwork. In decrypting the code, he uncovers the key to one of the greatest mysteries of all time . . . and he becomes a hunted man.\nDuring the course of the novel it is alleged that the Catholic Church is perpetuating a major, centuries-long conspiracy to hide the "truth" about Jesus Christ from the public, and it or its agents are willing to stop at nothing, including murder, to do so.

It's short and to the point. The pain comes through uncomfortably. \n\nIt leaves no doubt about what it's about, yet leaves a lot to the imagination. I'm assuming the author meant to make the reader feel something, especially pain, grief and loss.  If so, they accomplished their goal. \n\nI'm interested in the "weird" book you found it in. What book?

I did a dissertation on this book so I should know... (hopefully, if I can cast my mind back that far...)\n\n- There is a racist theme running through it. Look at the language Conrad uses when he discusses the natives.. they are always dark, and shadowy, making them threatening and foreign at all times. It ties in perfectly with how he describes the landscape, like when he sees the land for the first time from the boat, eerie and shadowy. Of course, the constant referencing to darkness and shadows ties in with the title! \n\n- There is an apocalyptic theme running through it, almost as though his journey along the river, further and further into darkness is a metaphor for the mad dudes (I've forgotten his name, whoops!) descent into craziness, so look at the darkness within as well, and the link between losing ones sense of englishness, and losing ones sense of identity, at the price of ones sanity. \n\nIt is not just that mad chap who is bonkers, they all are really. madness is a huge theme in the book.\n\nThat is all I can remember, hope it helps! Obviously, it could be beneficial to watch Apocalypse Now as well, as it explores the themes further, in a modern context.

You mean Night, by Elie Wiesel, right?\n\nIt is important, and relevant, because "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana\n\nI hope this helps you compose your final paragraph.  :-))

That is a hard question I have over two hundred books in my personal library and have read at least double that. What exactly are you looking for? An overview or something more in depth on a particular subject.\n\nEmail me and I can steer you in the right direction.

Have you perhaps read the book "MOOM"? I would like to find this book again.It was a cheap paperback horror novel about a retarded man who, if he managed to escape his elderly mother's basement, ran wild towards the full moon, screaming "MOOM, MOOM" and tearing to pieces anything or anyone on his path, creating mayhem and terror in the town. I beg of you to read this book.
