she is very strong willed and likesd to believe what she wants. She will not follow other people's beliefs simply because they are not her own. She seems very egar to be on her own throughout the book.

Once upon a time, in a little clearing in the woods, there lived a little girl by the name of Soofie. She lived with her step-mother, father and her brother Jack.\n\nAlthough the house was small and she did not live a LUXURIANT life, she was happy.\n\nOne day, she had an argument with her step-mother. Her step-mother thought  that Soofie stole the cookies she had just baked for the village fair. In EXASPERATION, her step-mother picked up a flower pot and hurled it at Soofie. It narrowly missed hitting her.\n\nUnable to accept the INDIGNITY of being wrongly accused, Soofie decided to leave the house.\n\nShe packed her bags and waited till nightfall. Then as quietly as she could, she sneaked out of the house. Although her bags were big and CUMBERSOME, she managed to get away from the house by dragging them along the sandy ground and through a MURKY stream.\n\n"Let's see my step-mom regret her actions when she finds me missing at daybreak!" Sofie thought to herself gleefully as she trotted along the river bank, dragging her bags behind her.\n\nSuddenly, Soofie stopped in her tracks. She was staring at the DISMAL scene in front of her. Fallen across the only path out of the woods was a giant oak tree. It was so big that Soofie was sure she would  never be able to climb over it.\n\nUnknown to Soofie, there was someone following her all this time. It was the village baddie, Grooch. Nobody liked him because he was always full of deceit and ROOKERY.\n\nGrooch stepped out from behind the tree he was hiding and walked towards Soofie, startling her with his sudden presence.\n\n"Hello, Soofie!" he snarled with his loud gruff voice.\n\n"Er, hello Grooch," Soofie stammered, afraid of this huge man.\n\n"What are you doing here?" Grooch asked.\n\n"Er, I'm trying to leave the woods," Soofie replied.\n\n"Then you'll have to find another way, because this path is blocked I'm afraid," Grooch smirked.\n\n"Do you know of another way out of the woods?" Soofie asked; she was determined to carry out her plan to run away from home.\n\n"Well, you'll have to walk towards those HUMMOCKS over there," Grooch said, pointing to the south.\n\n"Can you show me the way?"\n\n"It's my pleasure!" Grooch boomed. This was the first time Soofie had seen him smile.\n\n\nto be continued.....\n\nCheers!\nALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE

I hope Harry will survive. I got so upset when Dumbledore was killed off in the last book that I refused to finish it.. Hehe, well I intend to read it again, all the way through this time. If she killes Harry I'm not sure I want to finish the book or watch the film at all. I think after all that tragedy we need the hero to survive. We really do.

Naaah - I think that when someone dies unexpectedly or by their own hand, and who's as famous as Kurt (or, say Elvis) there's so much mystery and rumour around their death that it just never ever goes away.  Besides the fact that Courtney's no shrinking violet.  I just don't see her being THAT messed up as to help something like that.  I believe she truly didn't know he was going to do it.

There You GO:\n\nI just completed reading the novel, Nightbirds on Nantucket, written by Joan Aiken. It is one of the seven books in the Wolves Chronicles series. The novel features Dido Twite, and her frequent adventures. Of the numerous characters, I chose to focus my attention on Dido and Dutiful, who frequently appeared in the book. Joan Aiken uses a unique personality and style for each character. For example, the way she emphasizes Dutiful’s fear on page 66. When the ship Dutiful is on shakes, she becomes scared and begins to question her safety. The source of Dutiful’s fear of the ocean remains an unanswered question. One theory is that Dutiful’s fear arose because of her late mother’s fears. The genre of Nightbirds on Nantucket is difficult to identify. It seems to be historical fiction because of the language used and clothing styles mentioned. This novel may also be classified under fantasy because of certain animals, a pink whale, and weaponry used, a mile-long gun. I enjoyed reading this book because of the author’s writing style and ideas, which instantly grab the reader’s attention. Everything flowed extremely well; in fact, I felt as if I was on the ship with Dutiful and Dido. The clarity of the details makes me wonder what the author’s inspiration was.\n\n\nDon't forget to underline the title of the novel. You may want to mention more about Dido's characer.

I love Catcher in the Rye.  You may want to focus on how Holden admires her positive attributes smart,etc.  He's very fond of her.  If there was anything that struck you about her as a character that will probably help too.

For not knowing the plot or what part of the story you've given us, I'm rather impressed and sad to be given such a small portion.  I hesitate to say "good for 15" because there are published writers three times your age that don't write as well, but you have very solid potential.  I would second what bunnicula said about not posting more until you have it copyrighted, but keep us updated--I look very forward to purchasing it one day. (And I'm jealous of your close friends who will be able to read the rest before then)

Oh! I love that story. We read it last semester. Have you read the story? It's really funny to read it and then think in the gutters. Our sub, Scott, taught us that. lol Anyway... okay... hm... thesis statement. \n\n"There are stories about fish and the like, but none quite like this. The boy in the story learns to grow after learning that his beloved Sheila is not what he thought she was. In the story the boy struggling with what he loves and what he thinks he is in love with. ([The story teaches about letting go, forgetting and growing up] <-- thesis)." \n\nOkay, to clarify the thesis:\n\nLetting go: Letting go of the fish and moving on.\nForgetting: He forgets that he can't very well catch a fish without her seeing, so he loses it. \nGrowing up: After he learns that Sheila Mant is not what he thought she but, but in fact a skany who9re (lol) he learns to move on and grow up. \n\nI hope this helped.

Oh, wrong bogeyman. There used to be one under my bed, my siblings always saw him but I never did. I still look under my bed for him. I used to look for him because I was afraid of him. I think the role has reversed and he is afraid of me. He just never is under my bed. Why?

Her Role in the Underground Railroad\n\nAfter freeing herself from slavery, Harriet Tubman returned to Maryland to rescue other members of her family. In all she is believed to have conducted approximately 300 persons to freedom in the North. The tales of her exploits reveal her highly spiritual nature, as well as a grim determination to protect her charges and those who aided them. She always expressed confidence that God would aid her efforts, and threatened to shoot any of her charges who thought to turn back.\n\nWhen William Still published The Underground Railroad in 1871, he included a description of Harriet Tubman and her work. The section of Still's book captioned below begins with a letter from Thomas Garret, the Stationmaster of Wilmington, Delaware. Wilmington and Philadelphia were on the major route followed by Tubman, and by hundreds of others who escaped from slavery in Maryland. For this reason, Still was in a position to speak from his own firsthand knowledge of Tubman's work:\n\n    WILMINGTON, 12 mo. 29th, 1854\n\n    Esteemed Friend, J. Miller McKim: - We made arrangements last night, and sent away Harriet Tubman, with six men and one woman to Allen Agnew's, to be forwarded across the country to the city. Harriet, and one of the men had worn the shoes off their feet, and I gave them two dollars to help fit them out, and directed a carriage to be hired at my expense, to take them out, but do not yet know the expense....\n\n    THOMAS GARRET\n\n    Harriet Tubman had been their "Moses," but not in the sense that Andrew Johnson was the "Moses of the colored people." She had faithfully gone down into Egypt, and had delivered these six bondmen by her own heroism. Harriet was a woman of no pretensions, indeed, a more ordinary specimen of humanity could hardly be found among the most unfortunate-looking farm hands of the South. Yet, in point of courage, shrewdness and disinterested exertions to rescue her fellow-men, by making personal visits to Maryland among the slaves, she was without her equal.\n\n    Her success was wonderful. Time and again she made successful visits to Maryland on the Underground Rail Road, and would be absent for weeks at a time, running daily risks while making preparations for herself and her passengers. Great fears were entertained for her safety, but she seemed wholly devoid of personal fear. The idea of being captured by slave-hunters or slave-holders, seemed never to enter her mind. She was apparently proof against all adversaries. While she thus maintained utter personal indifference, she was much more watchful with regard to those she was piloting. Half of her time, she had the appearance of one asleep, and would actually sit down by the road-side and go fast asleep* when on her errands of mercy through the South, yet, she would not suffer one of her party to whimper once, about "giving out and going back," however wearied they might be by the hard travel day and night. She had a very short and pointed rule or law of her own, which implied death to any who talked of giving out and going back. Thus, in an emergency she would give all to understand that "times were very critical and therefore no foolishness would be indulged in on the road." That several who were rather weak-kneed and faint-hearted were greatly invigorated by Harriet's blunt and positive manner and threat of extreme measures, there could be no doubt.\n\n    After having once enlisted, "They had to go through ordie." Of course Harriet was supreme, and her followers generally had full faith in her, and would back up any word she might utter. So when she said to them that "a live runaway could do great harm by going back, but that a dead one could tell no secrets," she was sure to have obedience. Therefore, none had to die as traitors on the "middle passage." It is obvious enough, however, that her success in going into Maryland as she
