.Nunley. asked:


So i have to do a book report over a book either about oklahoma, or by an oklahoman author for Oklahoma history. It can be fiction, it just cant be outsiders or where the red fern grows(my favorite book of all time by the way =D) Im a die hard bookworm so i’ll read pretty much anything. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thankyou in advance!

what is the term for a character that represents the author’s opinions?

Bronx Cheer asked:


What is the literary term for a (usually) minor character in a play (usually) that voices moral opinions that are obviously in line with the author’s. It’s more than a cameo. The character offers advice or a philosophy. I’m thinking it was French word beginning with a “p” and I think I heard it in a Shakespeare course.

MJ asked:


I’m 21 and I used to read a lot of Mary Higgins Clark when I was younger, and would like to pick up reading again.
Mary Higgins Clark’s novels does not seem, to me anyways, like adult reading.

I don’t know of any authors and would like to find some best selling ones. I like fiction (no fantasy or romance) and maybe mystery/thriller.
Any suggestions on some authors I might like? Who is your favourite author?
I’ve read all of Agatha Christie’s books. Didn’t care too much for them…
errr sorry you guys know what I meant. Favourite fiction-writing author…

I have a textbook which references a sentence from another author that I want to use. She cited it. How do I incorporate it into my paper?

APA is terrible.

Does your ethnicity affect how people will look at the author of a book?

Paris! :) asked:


Whenever i see author last names, I never see much different in diversity other than Caucasian, never asian or african american. Maybe, occasionally, but not much. So i’m wondering if you have like, a really asian and long last name, if you published a novel for teens or something, would it somehow change the readers thoughts of reading it?
Thank you:) !!
So if you wrote a book, you wouldn’t neccessarily have to change your last name for selling purposes?
