My favorite has always been Shakespeare. There's lots of help on the web for it, and it's just classic. To understand Shakespeare will give you lots of laughs especially with these new teen movies out that rip him off :) Plus it's just cool to read the stories that have inspired people for hundreds of years.

One of my favorite short stories is one of Langston Hughes'--"Thank You, Ma'm".  He also wrote a ton of poetry and plays.  Try this site:

Not all involve only animals.  There are important family and tribe values taught in some stories.  \nThe most famous involve a spider whom often gets into mischief because he does not think of others.  \nSome storied are explanations for the unknown (like many myths). (why the mosquitoes fly into ears, and why the sun and moon rise and set..)\nIf you want to pass you should go to the library.

Yeah, "Interview With the Vampire" is good, and there are sequels to it if you like it.\n\nSome traditional vampire stories are "Carmilla" by Joseph Sheridan le Fanu and "Dracula" by Bram Stoker.\n\nVampire$ by John Steakly is set in contemporary times; it doesn't have romance, but has some conspiration-type elements.

oi it was not feminist. it is a classic work. look into the character of pearl.  both beautiful and worthwhile but very costly.  also look into the preacher's character. try to compare and contrast the daughter with the preacher. talk about the moral views of the time period, and it's effect on this story/characters

You could try castles and medieval stuff. It IS a little cliche, but done just right you'll get the attention\nFocus on rough, tough knights with disturbed pasts (battles, persecution, etc) rather than some pompous punk prince with perfect hair and blush. The "knights" theme could project a story of betterment, vindication, honor, and fighting for what's right.\n\nYou could also write a story about personified animals... NOCTURNAL animals. Kinda like Disney-ish, but the night-time ambience provides a rarely elaborated setting for a story to develop. Plus, if it's a story for kids, it'll help them feel a little easier about the night and darkness.

Now, I am suprised that this was posted,...I thought everyone knew this story...let me give it a shot.\n\nBetter yet let me look this up for ya:There are a few things that are good here:  I hope this helps...\n\nThroughout the novel Celie is growing and learning about herself. She learns with the help of others not only about herself but about things that go on around her. The fact that Celie is writing to God shows us that she has a way of coping with her horrendous life. In a way God is the only thing she could turn to since her step-father scared her by saying "You better not never tell nobody but God. It'd kill your mammy." (p1) This is the first sign of growth we are presented with in the novel. Next Celie is confronted with Sofia who she wishes she were like in some ways. She learns alot from Sofia and Harpo's relationship; like the fact that a wife doesn't have to take abuse from her husband. She also learns about Sofia's outlook on life which is important to her growth. "You ought to bash Mr.------ head open, she say. Think bout heaven later." ( p. 44) \nIn this quote we see that Sofia is telling Celie that she should start caring about the life she is living and get rid of Mr.------. This is one of the first steps in which Celie starts to care about her life and makes gradual attempts to better it. \n\nShug Avery enters the novel next and is idealized by Celie. Celie does everything she can to be like Shug which in the long run helps her be more of her own person. Once Celie becomes Shug´s friend and stops trying to be like her, she instead begins to learn from her and becomes her own person. Through Shug she learned a lot more sexually about herself . All the sexual experiences she had had prior to the one with Shug were bad, and usually against her will. But after her experience with Shug she realizes that sexual contact can be enjoyed, she becomes confortable with her body, and learns that touching herself is not a bad thing. In a way they were both growing in their relationship at the same time because neither of them had had sexual experience with a woman before. " I don't know know nothing bout it, I say to Shug. I dont know much she say." ( p.118). \n\nAs Shug and Celie´s relationship progressed, I think she began to experience a real relationship with someone she cared about. For the first time in her life she truly loved someone besides her sister. Celie gained more self confidence from being with Shug, and with this she finally learned how to stand up to Mr.-------. We are shown this for one of the first times in the discussion at dinner. At that dinner we really get to see how much Celie has grown and how independent she is becoming. She tells Mr.------- , "You a lowdown dog is what you is what's wrong, I say. Its time to leave you and enter into the Creation. And your dead body is just the welcome mat I need." (p.207) This quote has a lot of significance because it's one of the first times Celie stands up for herself. It shows that she's not going to take his treatment anymore and is moving on, she is finally ready to enter into communion with the rest of the world and start her own life. The break up of Shug and Celie serves as a good wake up call to her that she has to learn to live without depending on Shug so much. As the novel continues it begins to talk less and less of Celie's outer ugliness and more of her innner beauty. This is very important because it symbolizes her growth as a human being and shows us how her self respect has increased. \n\nAs Celie begains to gain more and more control of her life she starts a buisness making pants, which is significant for two reasons. First, because they are pants which shows us that she is finally feeling equal or better than the "male" and no longer feels beneath him, and second, because she finally has control of something of her own, with people who work for her. \n\n

I don't know if it has a moral, exactly.  If so, it might be the line "yes there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on"...  but there are a lot of themes in the song!
