Don't know if you can access this on line, but everything that happens there is explained in chapters 12 to 17 in the book "Swallowing Stones" by Joyce McDonald. The book  begins with a free and joyful act--but from then on, Michael finds it impossible even to remember what it felt like to be free and joyful.  When he fires his new rifle into the air on his seventeenth birthday, he never imagines that the bullet will end up killing someone.  But a mile away, a man is killed by that bullet as he innocently repairs his roof.  And Michael keeps desperately silent while he watches his world crumble. Meanwhile Jenna, the dead man's daughter, copes with desperation of her own.  Through her grief, she tries to understand why she no longer feels comfortable with her boyfriend and why a near stranger named Michael keeps appearing in her dreams.\n\nSuspenseful and powerfully moving, this is the unforgettable story of an accidental crime and its haunting web of repercussions. \n\nYou should read it!

The plot is Ma Parker is cleaning a fancy house of a "literary gentleman" and has just had her grandson buried who was sickly with a lifelong respiratory illness. She exchanges some words and the man who is a writer is writing down her story (this is a form of "deconstruction" that the story itself includes an author writing the very same story). He leaves her cleaning the house and she begins to lose herself over her grandson's death because he was all she had and making the bed reminds her of tucking him in. She leaves in a daze and wants to cry in private over her "hard life" but "there was nowhere".

Despite about 25 minutes of searching I haven't been able to find this poem.  Could you call or e-mail someone you know who has to do the same assignment and possibly get the poem that way?  \n\nThese sites may be of some help to you.  My only other advice would be to get to a bookstore in your area if there is one and you might find it there.  Best of luck with it.

Yes, the book was really good. I'm not sure about the movie, though. I'm going to see it, definitely, but certain things I'm dubious about. Such as the burn mark on Eragon's palm. In the book, the Riders are sometimes called 'Argetlam' which in the ancient language, literally means silver palm. Arget means silver. In the book, the silver mark of the Riders is from touching their dragon. In the movie (as far as I could tell, anyway), the burn mark is swirled in the shape of a lower case E, but does not appear to be silver. If Hollywood changed that, what other things have they changed?

I didnt read this story for years, but i know i learned it in school. I might be able to look through my notes later and give you a more detailed response. Here is what i remember:\n\nI just a correction with what General wrote. The women went to a store right away to get a replacement. She did not have enough money, so she made a deal to pay it back slowly. She was indebted for many, many years. The rich lady got back the necklace right away. Years later the poor women met her, and was full of resentment. She told the lady, do you know what you did to me? The lady had no idea. When she told her all about what she did the lady couldnt believe it, she told her it was a fake.\n\nThe story has irony, the poor lady could now get the necklace back, and cash it in and be rich.\nPoint of view is also important to the story because we get to see the anguish the poor lady had. If it would be through the rich lady's eyes we would know all along that it was a fake. In this case it was a surprise.

The name of the book is The Third Millennium by Paul D. Meier.  It tells the story of Michael's, the arch angel, assignment to protect that Jewish family.  The daughter dies in childbirth.  Her husband was a used car salesman.  His father was a Baptist minister who figured out where they needed to go for protection.  The son in the family loved a blind Chinese girl but they never married.  They did not move to Petra either.  They stayed in the U.S.  \n\nIt is an excellent book.  I have read it several times.  My cover is worn off and the pages are yellow and dog eared.

OMG. This is hilarious. I am doing Annabel Lee in my Literature class right now! Okay so, it is about Edgar Allen Poe and his love for his 13-year old cousin who he married. She died an early death of Tuberculosis, and in the poem, Poe says that the angels were jealous of his loving relationship with Annabel Lee ( in real life, her name was Virginia) and so they were the ones who envied Annabel Lee's love with Edgar Allen Poe, so they took her from him. Poe died two years after Annabel Lee died.

It always help if we are given more of the actual plot, but surprisingly enough I found it anyway!\n\nIt's titled, "Naneh Laila va Bachehyash" (1988), about an elderly woman who wants to fight city hall over the upcoming demolition of her house, so that is why she must contact her son.  I've pasted the link to it below.\n\nhttp://movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/movie.html?v_id=179507

Hi,\n I gotta give lots of credit to the person who asked this question because I personally love Danielle's novels and she really is my all time favorite author (besides Stephen King) \n I have read lots of Danielle's novels but the novel that I enjoyed the most was entitled Johnny Angel. \n I can seriously relate to the situation in this novel since I went through a very simuliar situation myself when I was only 17 years old.\n I cried tears that I never even knew existed anymore and all my emotions and feelings just came pouring out of me while I was reading this novel. \n This novel helped me to take a look at the past and to help me deal with the feelings that I kept so bottled-up inside of myself through all these years.\n Danielle's novels have a way of touching my heart as well as making me realize the importance of family, friends, children and just being able to keep myself together when things around me are falling apart.\n As long as Danielle keeps writing her novels...I personally will be sure to keep reading them and to remain her biggest fan!

It's been a long time since i read this but i'll try to help.  1. It means she lay down beside him after he was already dead and she was old.  So She perhaps killed him to keep him with her forever 2. I don't remember, sorry 3.  I don't know for sure but i think that would give way too much away. We are left to guess at what is going on 4. When Emily bought the rat poison and when the house smelled so bad they had to put lye around it 5. your on your own here 6. He was poor and happy and she was rich and very sheltered and unhappy and wierd.  It's basically saying money isn't all it's made out to be. In this town they seem to understand that titles aren't everything 7. She's sad and deluded but she is doing what she thinks is right.  \nI haven't read this in so long that my answers are probably quite wrong, check them with someone else first if you decide to use the ones I could remember.   This is a pretty disgusting story.  I don't really know why teachers asign it.  Good luck!

Check Amazon.com.  Or if not there ebay.  If not there try just typing it in to Google.  I have never personally heard of the book so I'm not sure what the results will be.  Good Luck.

Excellent, tragic book.\nI loved it, but it was really intense.  I have not read it again, as I usually do with a good book.
