I can't remember the title of it. I'm know that it was a series about a girl who became a model after she was discovered in a department store. I think that the name of the series was her name. I don't remember very much about the actual plot of the story but I do remember that there was one part where she was at a photoshoot for jeans and everyone took a break to smoke except for her because she didn't smoke and so she took a taxi home and had to go into her apartment building to get her mom's emergency credit card to pay the taxi driver.

I know that the stuff I remember is a little random but any help would be very much appreciated!

I am going on a mission trip to Costa Rica this summer and was wondering about the culture there. Specifically about the family life. What are the roles of each individual family member? How do the differ from the roles of family members in The US?

Also, how are sandals viewed? Are they acceptable for everyone? Or do feet need to be covered?

I know that shorts are not accepted for men, but is it okay if girls wear them?

Thanks a lot for any help!

...what books would you save?

My modern American literature class just read the book Farenheit 451 and we were assigned the task of chosing 10 books that we would save if we could only save 10.

Here is my list:

1. The Bible

2. The Illiad and the Odyssey by Homer

3. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare

4. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

5. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austin

6. The Complete Works of Dr. Seuss

7. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

8. A Collection of Fairytales by Hans Christian Anderson

9. Pretties by Scott Westerfeld

10.A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

we then had to defend our choices and eventually our 240 books were narrowed down to a total of 10.

this is a 'scary' poem that I had to write for my Creative Writing class. It is supposed to be about something that you are afraid of, I happen to be terrified that my house is going to catch on fire. The poem must be over 20 lines and has to have a moral. I would like to know if the poem sounds right to you and also what you think the moral might be. Any suggestions or improvements are welcome. Feel free to rip it apart. Thank you very much!

I awoke to the acrid taste of flames

And jolt out of bed

I save what I can as I escape

Through a downstairs window.

Into the safety of damp the night air.

From outside I watch,

Eyes stinging from smoke and unshed tears,

As my house succumbs to the hungry flames.

Helpless as a child, I observe the disaster.

There is nothing I can do.

My ears ring,

Echoing the calls of phantom sirens

That pierce through the silent night

As they approach.

Not fast enough

I slowly become aware of others around me.

They, too, watch as the building is destroyed.

Some hold each other, seeking comfort

From the pain of loss

Which causes every heart to break.

My mouth is dry from the ash

That hangs in the air like a bitter cloud

And my tongue seems too heavy to move.

But move I must.

And move I do.

Like a vagabond I will go,

Bringing nothing, taking nothing,

Having nothing but a name

And memories.

A chance to reinvent

Who I am

Who I want to be.

An opportunity

To start anew.

If there are not seven paragraphs on the page then take the third line from the last paragraph on the page. Do not finish the sentence if it continues from there.

Thank you :]

I am just wondering if other people picture them the same way I do. I am especially curious about Roiben.

It's a british show so, since I live in America I am not able to get it on TV and was wondering if anyone knew where I could catch up on it.

I'm a little worried that I may have missed something important grammatically and every error is a point off, there are only ten points in this assignment so it's very important that it is at least mostly correct. I have already corrected some of the mistakes that the teacher pointed out and some that I caught myself but I would like another opinion. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here's what I have written:

Guillermo: ¿Eres de Valencia?

Ada María: No, no soy de aquí. Estoy de vacaciones. Vivo en Salamanca.

Guillermo: Tengo una hermana major que vive en Salamanca. Ella es enfermera. Ella trabaja en la hospital de niños.

Ada María: Conozco una enfermera que trabaja en ese hospital. ¿Es tú hermana alta con pelo castaño y con un lunar en la mejilla?

Guillermo: ¡sí! ¿Conoces a mi hermana? Su nombre es Marta Vera.

Ada María: ¡Claro! Marta Vera es mi major amiga.

Guillermo: Que gran coincidencia. ¡El mundo es un pañuelo!

I know that this is in the wrong section, but only people who have read the Harry Potter books would understand what I'm talking about. Has anyone else noticed how much Harry Potter is referenced in the Disney Chanel show Hannah Montana? I don't watch the show often but it seems that on every episode I've seen they say something about Harry Potter, usually indirrectly but still. I was just wondering if anyone else noticed

I think that you can hold your iPod up to the radio and it can tell you what song is playing.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I'm looking for some good books to read in this genre and was wondering what some favorites are. I have read the Twilight series already and while other books like those would be okay, I am kind of trying to escape the vampire theme at the moment so something else would be greatly appreciated. I love Jane Austin and Nicolas Sparks books. I'm pretty open to reading anything. I prefer longer books but short books with a good plot are good as well.

Sorry this question got to be so long. That always seems to happen. I'll try to get better at that so people will actually be able to answer my question instead of spending 15 minutes reading it.

any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks:D

It can be from the books or the movies. Please also say who said it and what book/movie it is from.

My favorite is:

"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of places if one only remembers to turn on the light."

~Albus Dumbledore

Harry Potter 3 movie

They don't have to be from your favorite movie, but who is your favorite disney villain and why?

Do they ever go back to resolve the stories from the first book? Or are the next two books about completely different people?

My favorite is The Lion King 2

She is a pure bred black lab and she has destroyed ever toy we have given her so far. Do you have any suggestions?
