You are a good parent. Carry on.
I am shocked that no one has mentioned Anne McCaffrey's Pern series. Though not exactly medieval style (though somewhat, maybe?), it is the first...
Hey, Tom! Glad to have you back (not that I would have known that you were away, given that I've been quite inactive as well, due to starting a...
I've finally started Fallout: New Vegas (as Banten will be pleased to hear). So far, it feels much cooler than Fallout 3, and I'm enjoying it...
That was very cool. Nice find.
I agree. YA isn't a genre; it's just books aimed at the target market of "young adult". The question this raises is: What sets it apart from...
I've found that YA tends to use particular themes and tropes. E.g. love triangles, coming-of-age, school-themed stuff, etc. There are a lot out...
I think you can still have tension even if the ending is known. But you get a different kind of tension, and it leads to a lot of dramatic irony....
First, a quick aside: Loved that movie (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen). My list would be hundreds long, but if I had to pare it down (and...
Upon further googling, I concede your point. It seems I was confusing subject with actor/agent. Interestingly, everywhere I looked, the subject...
I agree with 99% of this. But one bit doesn't seem right: "when the subject of the sentence is acted on by the verb" The subject of a sentence...
If I might add to my previous post: The sentence it marked out is "and the City was once known by another name". You can tell that this is in...
I don't think you need to worry about that particular instance. So, we could rewrite that (the second part of the sentence) into active voice by...
The passive voice is really just an inversion of the regular sentence order. So normally, a sentence is: <Subject> <verb> <object> (E.g. John...
From my limited knowledge, I'd first point out that bronze and copper are not equivalent. If I recall correctly, bronze was a better material for...
I agree with this. You might get issues with people continuing their crimes even with the curse. I.e. Badman gets a curse for 10 years. Since...
I remember reading these quite a while back, but I had a great time reading them again. Good find. -- Someone forgot rule 20.
I looked that up, and from what snippets I could see, the Far Side is hilarious. I'd be a hard pitch to knock Calvin & Hobbes off the podium, but...
I only discovered Calvin & Hobbes a few years ago, to the detriment of my childhood. It's one of the best (or dare I say, the best?) comic strips...
I was in a Krav Maga class once, but it was a bit of a bust (as in, the teacher didn't seem to know as much as he should have). But there was a...
