Answer 1
I think a good one which I did when I was 15 was "Of Mice and Men" but it depends how advanced you're child is (sorry if its not your child). If not that then go with anything by Shakespeare

Answer 3
You didn't say what types of books you like to read - adventure? biography? classics? sci-fi? - so I listed some of each: Fantastic Mr. Fox, the BFG, or other great stories by Roald Dahl The Adventures of Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain The Jungle Book or Rikki-Tikki-Tavi by Rudyard Kipling The Time Machine or The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis

Hi. Congrats on your move to Austin. I work with beauty schools and have heard of these. They are all great schools...This should be a big help to you. We offer two great resource sites for everything you need to know about beauty schools. I pulled the schools in your area, just in case you may also be considering any outside of Austin. http://www.beautyschool.com/search/texas http://www.beautyschoolsdirectory.com/find/index.php?search=Y&fromform=Y&thisSearchPage=Find+Page&search=Y&t=3&st=TX Also, the common Q&A section on Beauty School Directory, answers almost any question you have about your career in beauty school. http://www.beautyschoolsdirectory.com/faq/ Oh! One more thing – if you want to ask questions of other beauty students, cosmetology teachers and working beauty professionals across the country, you might want to check out the Beauty School Lounge at http://lounge.beautyschoolsdirectory.com… It’s a social networking site for people interested in cosmetology and esthetics, and it’s loaded with good stuff and is great for asking questions like these.

Does New School university have a bad reputation
Does New School university have a bad reputation?
I've heard mixed reviews about this school. For someone who is seriously considering attending a top university (Yale for example) for their graduate education (PhD), is New School a good choice for an undergrad or Masters degree? While I've heard many Professors say that it's not really considered a university with a good reputation, I've heard some say that it is.......

Well I personally consider it to be very respectable. It's a very liberal arts type school, known more for humanities/social sciences than math/science. Most of the people who think lowly of it are the type of people who believe that any liberal arts college is a joke and that only top colleges are worthy of their interest. I wouldn't pay much attention to them. It's considered a respectable college by most, and it's pretty well known nationally. It all depends on what program you're doing. A certain program may be better at New School than Yale, or vice versa. You can't just look at the college as a whole, as a college is really just a collection of small schools (journalism school, allied health school, school of education, etc.) and each one is different in every way.

It is a great place. One of the better preschool franchises. It is expensive but they do a good job with with preschool and before and after school care. Very well organized. You still must be active with the school administrators and staff to make sure your child gets proper care.

If you had to write a book review for school what should it contain
If you had to write a book review for school what should it contain?
I am writing a book review on the book called The Seven Daughters of Eve. I am not so certain how I should consrtuct it.
Higher Education (University +) - 4 Answers - 2006-11-18 17:43:48
Best Answer
I would first decide what the overarching theme was - what was the point? How did the characters grow, or learn, or change? Were there any counterpoints or sub-plots that reenforced that theme? Second, I would go into detail how the author developed the character, or characters, and the plots and sub/counter plots all in the effort to develop the theme. This should be the main focus of the essay. Describe how the theme(s) all come together to reach the author's intended conclusion Next and finally, I would give my criticism of the book. Was the buildup enough. Were the various plots resolved, were the various themes concluded? Did the author effectively use imagry, plot movement, all the literary devices available to effectively get his/her theme across. How successful was he? Finally, be sure to construct all of these into a standard essay.

Answer 2
The bibliographical details of the book----author, publisher, title, year and place of publication. The summary of the story. The profile of the characters. How the characters interact with each other. Your opinions of their actions. Literary theories can come in handy.. Pschological background of the characters. Your reaction, emotions instilled in you as you read. You can also do an author profile. Historical events can also be mixed with your review. Happy writing!

Just read the book and pick it apart like it was a cheezy movie. Then write it all down in 1st person singular, from the viewpoint of say,, an overbearing mother or a doting grandfather. Good Luck.
