Book illustration, “The catcher in the rye” really need advice!?
Question by : Book illustration, “The catcher in the rye” really need advice!?
Hey, I need to illustrate the book “The catcher in the rye” as part of a book report for school, and i was thinking of drawing Holden on a cliff in a field of rye with his arms wide open (connotes savior which is what he wants to be, but is also ironic because Holden is not very religious, and even though it doesn’t say so clearly we can assume he is an atheist) in his red hunting hat,, which seems to appear in every symbolic moment in the book. there will be children running around him and some of them will be falling off the cliff and holing on to it, as the original poem which Holden thinks of (If a body catch a body in the rye) is everything but innocent, so the falling children shows how naive Holden is, and how he is still a child forced to live in he adult world.Does this make sense? Do you think it is a good idea or should I change it?
Thanks in advance!!

If you need to restore your Yahoo! Address Book, please fill out the following restoration form and one of the Yahoo! Address Book agents will attempt to restore your Yahoo! Address Book. This is only possible for a few days (4?) but is worth a try.
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/addressbook/ab_restore.html
or, contact Customer Care. The Live Chat button takes a few seconds to show up, but it will. If not, wait and refresh the page.
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/forms_index.html;_ylt=AmCHkDdTEi0iY55OLdFsOjh2x3hG?last_url=http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/basics/basics-01.html
1. Check that the alternate e-mail address is still yours (Change it first!), and then change both your password AND your secret questions and answers. Make them unique and strong ones! If you have a Yahoo! account, you can change your password at https://edit.yahoo.com/config/change_pw. If you can no longer access your account, you can get a new password at https://edit.yahoo.com/forgotroot/. If you still can’t access your account after going through the “Forgot Your Password” process, you may contact the Customer Care team for assistance at:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/security/general.html.If you used this password for other accounts, change them too. Make the password longer than 8 characters, with mixed symbols.
*** 2. Apologize, and notify all your contacts NOT to open short e-mails, especially those with no subject, and definitely not to click any links. Warn them to scan for malware too, just in case. Set up an alternate ‘alias’ account to use instead. This allows you to use a different address for sending, but still keep all saved mails and contacts and the first address active too for incoming mail. Your friends can trust this new address. (There is a choice of address in an arrow in the From: box.)
http://edit.yahoo..com/config/list_alias (alternate address)
3. To be sure your computer is not infected, run both an anti-virus and spyware/malware scans, updated and separately – even more than one malware scan, or Trend Micro’s Housecall for an online a-v scan. (in ‘Safe Mode with Networking’ is the only truly effective method – click F8 repeatedly when the screen first lights on boot-up, then arrow keys and Enter to navigate.) Re-boot into Safe Mode for each separate scan.

What do you think of this book idea?
Question by Anamarie: What do you think of this book idea?
So it’s not exactly the book idea ITSELF, more of something IN it.
It’s a fantasy book.
So the main char, lets call her Eve(: is a moon elf. She lives on planet Pareminn. It is JUST like Earth. Exactly. The time on Earth is the same on Pareminn. Pareminn is basically Earth in the past, inhabited by humans.
To help explain this, imagine Earth, the way it looks like in Star wars when the camera zooms out and you see it as a blue and green ball. Put Pareminn next to it. They look exactly alike. So if you are living on Pareminn, you could be standing in what people of Earth call America, but still be on Pareminn.
So put the two worlds together again.
Now imagine a dot on Earth, to represent a human named Adam. Put a dot on Pareminn to represent Eve. Adam is standing in America. Eve is standing in America. But on Pareminn (It’s called something different in Pareminn besides America..) Adam could be ordering from a fast food restaurant, Eve hunting an animal. But yet they are in the same spot.
It’s like Earth had an identical twin, and Earth developed, Pareminn stayed in the “good ole’ days”. On Pareminn, there is no technology, no nothing. They do live in houses/huts, though.
So yeah, it’s a little sketchy, but do you like it? NO it is not what the book is about!
What do you think of the name Pareminn? It’s Finnish for “better” .
Do you want to know more? Or hear some more of my ideas? Email me! orange_shoebox@yahoo.com
Thanks in advance!!
Oh, and no human can ever discover Pareminn, because, if you found a planet that is JUST LIKE Earth, but has no pollution problems, and Earth is already over crowded, wouldn’t you want to take it over?

Writing A Book, Need Ideas.?
I want to write a book that has some sort of historical significance to it. I am looking for a particular era in US history that would be compelling. For example:
There Will Be Blood – set at the dawn of American industrialization
The Crucible – takes place during Witch Hunts in Salam, ca 1690
Good Night and Good Luck – Takes place during McCarthy Era
Any good time periods that would be most captivating?
Does inaccuracy in a science fiction movie or book take away from your enjoyment of it?
“The Day After Tomorrow” was a film that I had wanted to see for quite a while after it was released. Upon viewing it, I was intrigued by some of the science, but put off by what I saw as impossibilities… instantaneous freezing of the atmosphere and physical surfaces, for instance. What were the odds that fella found his son alive anyway? Suffice to say, I enjoyed the film less than I would have otherwise if i thought the science in it was sound.
On the other hand, the possibility that a disease could mutate mankind along the plot lines of the Will Smith movie “I Am Legend ” seemed very plausible to me, and I found the film all the scarier because in my mind, I could imagine it taking place in the not too distant future. Excellent film, by the way.
Maybe you don’t care for science fiction, but prefer historical or period movies or books instead. Do gross inaccuracies in the facts presented put you off to the work as a whole? A good example of a well-done historical piece in my eyes is “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee”, a bad one “The Hunt for Red October”. My opinions only!
How does a perceived inaccuracy in a film based on a given premise affect your ability to enjoy it? Can you overlook what faults you find, and take the plot and characters at face value? Or if you find one or two incongruities, do you search for more and enjoy yourself less?
Popcorn’s waiting….
is this a good book so far?im writing it btw?
It takes place in the future.This is part of the 1st chapter, Ember’s story.I wanted it to be somewhat Repo!The Genetic Opera-esque.I also wanted it to be gory.Tell me what you think.
I was walking down the street.The sky was light grey, more light than usual.I stuck out in my black velvet skirt and shiny combat boots.That was how everyone dresses, but no one where I was had a velvet skirt as long as mine and boots as expensive and shiny as mine.I was in the alley, the only place not completely controlled by the ruler we liked to call Vadalte.I checked my watch.5:05 PM.Shit.Any moment now, my “guardian” would be home and if I wasn’t, I would never see anything again.I picked up my pace to a fast jog.I was almost to the corner….I could almost touch it…….my pager beeped.Please don’t be Pikalte,please don’t be Pikalte I prayed.I didn’t have time to answer it.But if it was Pikalte(my “gaurdian”), then I was done for.I just had to get out of the alley………..so close……uh-oh.Nivek.Where was that damn perve?He told me he was coming here.I had to look for him, but I couldn’t take me eyes off the corner I was so damn close to.Screw him.He was Vadalte’s son.He could get anything he wanted.Any girl, or any guy.He went both ways.But you wouldn’t know after being with him for years.He wasn’t my friend anyways.More like an aquitance.
Suddenly, my beeper beeped again.Who could it be?Who is the world would need be so bad?I was terrified to answer it.Besides, I was almost to the corner, where I would be out of The Alley.I would be safe.From the drugs and sex.I was even closer, but it seems like it’s taking a year to get to the corner.Shit.My beeper was beeping again.Who in the world could it be?Just then, I heard Nivek’s “womanizing” Italian accent.
“Ahhh, but it is true isn’t it, my dear?”Nivek never called his latest “rape” dear.
This made me look, but before I could, I heard a scream coming from the opposite direction.It was so high-pitched it made me stop in my tracks.It seemed Vadalte had struck again.By the time I had turned my head, the poor girl was lying on the floor with a cave-like shape cut out of her stomach.He liver and intestines lie next to her and Vadalte didn’t seem like he cared that his henchman had just done this to her.
“NIVEK!”Vadalte yelled in his deep, powerful voice.
I turned around to see Nivek gently drag his hand along the outline of his latest girl’s chin and run towards his father.
“Coming, father!”
I saw his “girl” fall against the wall and sigh.Nivek chuckled.He stopped when got by me.We didn’t say anything.Just stood there looking into each other’s eyes.Not a word was said.Not a sound made.Only the background could you hear moaning, deals being made, shots being fired, songs being sung.Dark songs.Of death and fear.We stood there for about 5 seconds before Vadalte yelled Nivek’s name again.This time he Nivek didn’t reply.Instead, he ran.Towards his father, of course.Not a word said to me.
Just then, one of Pikalte’s company trucks went by.See, in my world, human flesh was the most addicting drug.Pikalte’s trucks carried around body parts that people didn’t want.He was the “clean-up crew”.The Alley was the perfect place to collect these “treasures.”Now, his men were on the hunt.I quickly ducked down so they wouldn’t see me.Pikalte knew if one of his men were lying and he shot them right on the spot.Not only did he do that, but he ripped them apart and sold the pieces.He was a monster.He thought I didn’t know.But I do.I know everything about him.Although, he would never kill me, I won’t take any chances.You must show him the most respect possible, or you won’t be alive for a second chance.
My pager went off again.I had to check it, against my will.I sighed and pulled it out of my black bag that hung on my hips.When the pressed the Call button, the hallogram popped up.
“Where are you?!!!??!”I saw the hallogram say.It was Pikalte’s highest ranked employee, Josn.He was always there to make sure that I was ok.”Pikalte will be home!We just turned off the The Alley corner!”Oh shit.I still wasn’t even at the corner yet.
“Thanks, I’ll be there in a few minutes,”I quickly replied at I put the pager back in my bag.Instead of going in, it fell to the cold concrete and another hallogram came out.It must have hit the Call button when it fell.I picked it up to hang up, but realized it was still Josn.He did’t hang up.I was just about to say something when I saw a blade come across his neck.
“SAVE YOURSELF!”I heard him scream as his blood poured from his neck.I gasped in horror.Who would do this?Pikalte would never kill such a tustworthy employee!Just then, I saw Vidalte and Nivek walk across the screen and realized they had already left The Alley.What reason would they have for killing him?Nivek was more interested in who was helping him get laid that night than any grudges he had.

What do you all think of my book plot?
I hope to write a sort of post apocalypse-y type book, and already have a plot but would quite like you’re opinions-
Garret (surname please) is an American student living in Chicago at some fictional university. During the summer he comes home with childhood friend (a girl, uncommon yet cool name please). Slowly, after knowing each other for years, the relationship Garret and *girl* develops into a relationship. It’s around about this point I want to destroy the world (words I never thought I’d hear myself say), but I want to kill the population in a unique way, not some crappy virus plot that’s been done a million times before, (I’d like some suggestions for ways to do this, but at the same time I want it to be able to possibly affect Garret and some others in different ways, ie. I toyed with the idea of having a group of viral explosions, one of which Garret is close to when it detonates, killing him, but at such close range the virus changes and regenerates him, giving him some form of special ability (healing or immortality or something which can be related to the fact that he died). After this, Garret returns to his parents house, finding the entire population of the town dead, to discover his mother dead by gunshot wound and his father vanished, leaving only a note saying “sorry”. After this, he looks for *girl*, but cannot find her at her house, whilst hunting for *girl*/his father he finds a shopping centre where two other people are hiding, Vince and Damon, Damon has the same ability as Garret and whilst the three talk, it’s revealed that Damon was at close range to a bomb as well. The three stay together at the Mall for a short while, and then those who died in the blasts begin to regenerate also, but come back as mindless, zombie like creatures. Garret, Damon and Vince fight a group of these zombies when trying to rescue another group of survivors (Iris, Maggie, Siobhan and Roland), they fight the zombies off using weapons from a hunting shop in the centre, and the other group join Garret, Damon and Vince living in the Mall. Every day, Garret goes further and further a field hunting for *girl* but only finds more and more zombies. After a while, another group stumble across the Mall, (Warren, Mark, Richard and *another girl, the main love interest and also has Garret’s ability, so cool name please, but for now lets call her Rachael, as two *girl*s is a bit too complicated). Warren is a survivalist, and Mark and Richard follow him pretty much slavishly, whereas Rachael is just trying to find others, they too join the group at the Mall. Tensions rise between Warren and Garret, Warren disagreeing with Garret’s phylosophy of trying to keep everyone safe, not just himself, whereas a close friendship develops between Garret and Rachael, but just as Garret is finally accepting *girl*s death, she turns up at the Mall with her own group (herself, Owen and Anya), Anya is quickly found to have been attacked and wounded by one of the zombies and the group do their best to help her, Garret having been in the process of studying medicine at University. After these arrive, the previously infrequent attacks on the mall by zombies increase exponentially. The relationship between Garret and *girl* reignites immediately, leaving the situation between Garret and Rachael awkward. Tensions overflow between Garret and Warren when he finds Warren has been stealing food from the youngest of the group to feed himself, and this ends in a fight, which is interupted by one of the lookouts alerting the group that an enormous horde of zombies is approaching the Mall, whilst preparing, Damon finds Anya outside, walking towards the horde, and it turns out that she is what’s been bringing the zombies to them, a venom in the zombie that attacked her acting as a beacon which allows them to find her, she wants to simply let them take her, but Damon, Garret and the others object strongly, keeping her under constant supervision. Ever the survivalist, Warren kills the Owen, who was guarding Anya, and attempts to publicly kill her too, only just stopped by Garret, Damon, Vince and Rachael. Warren however, has positioned Mark away from the scene with a rifle, but as he takes the shot, *girl* notices him just in time and takes the bullet, dying in Garrets arms. Garret beats Warren to unconcsiousness, whilst Damon and Vince hunt down Mark and Richard, bringing them to the scene of the chaos and tying them up, with an unconcsious Warren, against a pillar. Only after this, does Rachael notice Anya has vanished. Garret finds her outside and tries to stop her, but she begs him to let her go, stating too many have already died for her, and the zombies will never stop hunting her. Shaken, Garret can do naught but watch as the zombies devour her, most of the horde dissapate, but some carry on towards the Mall, and the group organise to combat the threat quickly, repelling the zombies but sustaining m
dunno why it hasn’t all saved, anyway, here is the rest of the plot: sustaining many casualties, Vince, Iris, Maggie and Roland dying amongst many others. The book ends with the Mall in ruins, and Garret, Damon, Siobhan and Rachael sitting, staring across a lake, wondering how to continue, Garret is mourning for Anya and *girl*, but has realised he needs to take a full responsibility as leader to do his best to keep the rest of his family safe. Remember to comment and give me some more little twists, improvements, names, anything really…

I think I may have gone on for too long, but I need to finish so here we go:
repelling the zombies but sustaining many casualties (Iris, Maggie, Roland and Vince amongst the dead). Garret expells Warren, Mark and Richard from the group, refusing to kill them, and the book end with the group burning their dead. Garret is mourning Anya and *girl*, but accepts finally that he has to take full responsibility as a leader.
Well, what do you think? I welcome all coments, creative criticism if you must, plot twists, names, improvements, opinions, anything really, thanks again for bearing with me.
Who has read the fifth book in the House of Night series…Hunted?
What did you think? Is anyone else getting tired of the constant re-caps we get in every book? I love them, but I feel like they’re not giving us enough credit. What about the boy situation? Who is a fan of Stark…Erik…Heath?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Totally get what you guys are saying. Wait until you start to like Erik, in this book he seems a bit “bad”, like somethings going to start happening to him in the next few books. He’s becoming over-possessive, and distant at times, then at other times he’s there being his normal self. I’m starting to think I’m a Stark fan, but also hate/love Heath.
