Yes I googled it. All I could find were summaries, cast lists, reviews, etc. No sample essay topics or prompts. Nothing to spark my essay writing. My dad gave me some thesis ideas though...and I ended up writing two pages on stereotypes and character transformations.

I know you looked but also know you didn't go far enough. No problem. Stereotypes is a good one to compare and contrast.

Argh. Why do I get sick so much?! WHY?! I wasn't a sickly child, it's just for the last year or two I've been getting sick about once every two months, then it'll last for two weeks and then slowly go away. Always a sore throat that I can feel coming on for 24 hours in advance, and then I just wake up one morning and BAM--sore throat/fever/cold.
The sore throat clears out during the day, but then by evening I'm struggling to speak in a clear voice. And it always seems to happen on -choir- nights. Like tonight--I've just finished screwing my voice over. And in new developments, my hands are shaking and feel weak, but I can't make them stop shaking unless I lay them completely flat. What the heck is up with me? |

Are you asthmatic? My asthma/allergy drugs do that to me... something about thinning the blood, weakening the immune system, even affecting the nervous system to make you shake like you've got Parkinson's, or actually make some people jumpy. Sore throat might be because of the weakened immune system or because some drugs affect the protective layer of mucus in your windpipe. That's all a big pain, 'cause there's nothing you can really do about it except take vitamins. I'm thinking about seeing an herbalist, too.

No, I'm not asthmatic, and I never have been, although I guess you could say that I've always been a bit 'frail' in the sense that I've never had much endurance.

sorry to hear that, Tessar I hope they can figure something out. It might be allergy-related ... if my kids start to get a runny nose from allergies, I hit 'em with allergy medicine right away and then it seems to stop the sore throad/getting worse cycle most of the time.

Hmm... hopefully it's just the seasons changing or this new weather. Maybe you'll feel normal in a few weeks. I hope so!

Hey, "T", you need a good diagnostician. Und, asthma can cause those symptoms and the season is right; hope you get it checked out soon.

Bombadillo, I'm aware of IMDB, but that didn't give any literary (Well actually film) analysis, themes, etc, on The African Queen.

Eating Elk Eyeballs
In ref. to what Bombadillo was saying about that the Inuit eat elk eyeballs, I decided to do a little research into this practise do NOT ask me why, and came up with this information, which ought to effectively dissuade people from making it a habit to eat the eyeballs of elk or deer. It causes this dreadful ailment. Read, if you dare...

If I don't eat every few hours I start to feel really bad, I've got stuff running down my throat, I can only speak near the bottom of my voice range, and if I try to speak or sing above that or even put any volume/emotion into my speaking voice I can't make a sound. That and I just generally feel kind of crappy right now . *falls over* |

Good luck.
Vent: The damn planet is falling apart! Just listening to NPR is hilarious how stupid some people are. I'm listening to a reporter online in the middle of a battle in Iraq.

This report may cheer you up some.
http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/...ain/index.html We can be comforted to know that the news from Iraq is not all bad. Vent: My annoyance at BBC News is increasing. In their description of our recent joint Iraqi and US military operations, they mentioned nothing about the good that is being done. They did not mention the growing insurgent casualties, but rather just describe how dangerous Al'Qaeda is and how "no US troops have died yet". BBC's left-wing bias in reporting is certainly annoying me. This is just added to my already existing annoyance at BBC for picking on the Republican and Christian leaders, without presenting both sides of the story. BBC also likes a good scrap, a good contraversy, even if one doesn't exist. Like that silly story it posted about Bush having said God told him to go into Iraq and Afghanistan. The only source of this story that BBC has is one Palestinian official, and that official claims that in context, he didn't think it should be taken literally. BBC likes to make a lot out of nothing solid, if it blackens Pres. Bush's name. And the story about Pat Robertson. Very one sided. Oh well. Anti-Vent: I am very pleased with BBC for having the courage to speak the truth in Uzbekistan, even if it caused their bureau there to be dismantled by the government. In some ways, the article on BBC about the matter was badly put, but I still think the evidence was solid and the courage to act on it was laudable. So about that, I'm pleased with BBC.
