I don't remember if thats the one that traps the guy in or the one that gets trapped. if its the one that traps the other guy in i would say: cruel, self-centered, heartless, and mean. if hes the one that gets trapped in i would say: gullible, child-like, and innocent. Hope this helps

hi\n\nthink it's true, why would jesus care for the wine if in fact it was not his own wedding??? why mary would tell him that they ran out of wine, plus mary alert at the guests???, way too easy this one to figure it out, by the way soy boricua 100% raised in naguabo, p.r., from what "pueblo" are you from???

A wine tasting road trip to salute Jack's final days as a bachelor careens woefully sideways as he and Miles hit the gas en route to mid-life crises. The comically mismatched pair, who share little more than their history and a heady blend of failed potential and fading youth, soon find themselves drowning in wine and women. Emerging from a haze of pinot noir, wistful yearnings and trepidation about the future, the two inevitably collide with reality.\n\n\n\nThe sideways is in refrence to there trip, not going forwaqrd or back, just sideways.......

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.

Cute at first, but I found it got old after about the fourth or fifth book. (There must be 20 now?)\n\nNote quite on topic but: I always liked Piers Anthony's work (not past tense) until I read his autobiography. Lets just say that I was so taken aback by the pettiness and urge to show people up that I stopped reading his stuff.

Ever read The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides? It's such a good book. If you haven't read it yet, you really should! \n\nFirst Sentence:\nOn the morning the last Lisbon daughter took her turn at suicide-it was Mary this time, and sleeping pills, like Therese-the two paramedics arrived at the house knowing exactly where the knife drawer was, and the gas oven, and the beam in the basement from which it was possible to tie a rope

This is the first I have heard of this book..... from the article sounds like it would be a great book for kids.   Why people would be bothered by this book is truly puzzling, I mean honestly it's a book for kids so they can understand at their level about illegal immigration.  This just made the shopping list for gifts.\nGood post DAR.

I don't know yet. I have read it over, but not really studied it, and I am going to be watching a special about it tonight at 8pm EST on the National Geographic Channel. I do not make decisions about my faith until I know all the facts and have had ample time to think, pray, and do some soul searching. I suggest that any who are interested in gathering all the info necessary to make an informed decision watch the show and read the text.\n\n To the person above me still waiting for it's publication - you can read the text at the link below. Just click on the link, and to the right where it has the two download buttons, click the "download the entire English text as PDF."

I am amazed that this question was asked. I thought the book too obscure to be noticed in this day and age. \n\nI loved it. A bit convoluted but brilliant. It has the potential to be a fantastic movie but it has to be done to match its brothers. Peter Jackson is a must here.

I'm sorry that you're having so much trouble. I'm having trouble helping you interpret the question being that I haven't read that particular novel. I wish you the best of luck, but I can tell you that several people in your class are probably having the same trouble. So, any interpretation of the question that you would have would certainly be better than nothing!! ;)

The book was really informative on a variety of topics although the ending of every chapter had a hook to keep you reading. Even though you felt manipulated into reading on, it was willingly so, since the book was so exciting to read. It was about a mystery, solving a murder, and heavily referenced Catholic Church history, Christianity's history, and religious sects that have sprang up relating to both. In addition, the book also appeals because it contains riddles and puzzles...clues left by the dead man to help his daughter find an important religious artifact.\n\nI highly recommend it.

I have always wanted to talk to someone about this. My father passed away when I was six and amongst everything that he left myself and my brother there were the complete leather bound set of Dennis Wheatly books. I am now 23 and tbh I have never even sat and tried to read one! I suppose you would recommend a read then? Do you know if these books are worth keeping? I was going to donate them to charity but perhaps I should try an read them! XxXxX
