Do you use quotes, bold or italicized? (book/novel & shakespeare play)?

hi i need help.


for a book do you italicize (when typing) ?

i'm confused


thanks
Do you use quotes, bold or italicized? (book/novel %26amp; shakespeare play)?
Books are underlined and plays are in quotes. :)
Do you use quotes, bold or italicized? (book/novel %26amp; shakespeare play)?
Books are italicized or underlined





Plays are surrounded by quotation marks
Reply:Full-length plays, novels, and other books should be italicized. If you are hand-writing the title, underlining will do. The titles of newspaper articles, essays, and short stories should all be in quotes.
Reply:According to the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition, since you are typing them out, both book titles and play titles are in italic, no quotation marks.





If you are writing this with long hand, you can underline both book titles and play titles, since you can't really write in italic.
Reply:For a full length work (book, novel, three or five act play) italicize. If your typewriter lacks italics underline.





For a short work (one act play, short story, essay) enclose the title in quotation marks.

What is a good adventure/romance book series?

Somthing thats like Maximum ride or Twilight series...a book you don't want to put down untill you finish
What is a good adventure/romance book series?
The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, absolutely fascinating and addictive
What is a good adventure/romance book series?
If you liked Maximum Ride go for Percy Jackson. It's about a kid who is son Poseidon living in modern day new york.

(on the PJ site please excuse the crappy little kids voice they use for the vid.)





OR if you want a fantastic teen read go for the CHERUB books by Robert Muchamore. I have read them and they are fantastic. (They're like a waaaay better version of Alex Rider)

Reply:I would STRONGLY recommend the author Octavia E. Butler - by your description. She has won both the Hugo and Nebula awards for here work.





She has great strong female characters in her work. Start with the Liliths Brood series (sci-fi fantasy) or she has a vampire novel called Fledgling

Some other good adventure series (not so much romance)...





Sprawl Trilogy by William Gibson


Dark Tower series by Stephen King





I am currently on book five of the King series. This has to be one of the best adventure series I have ever read and I believe King has never been as good as he is with this series.
Reply:why dont you read a manga its a anime book like comic youll 鈾?it for 鈾?story and adventure tokyomewmew for jokes solar boy django and manny more
Reply:Jinx by Meg Cabot. If you liked Twilight, then you'll like this book. It's about a girl who has bad luck all the time so she moves in with her aunt and uncle. He sister is into witchcraft and I don't want to spoil the rest, but it fairly good.





The Mediator series by Meg Cabot. I've only read the first two, but they are VERY good. It's about a girl named Suze who moves to California from New York because her mother just remarried. Oh, and Suze can see ghosts...





The Host by Stephenie Meyer. It's about how these things called souls invade Earth, as well as humans. It's based on a soul named Wanda who is placed into Melanie, who refuses to fade away like she's suppose too. It's very interesting and I totally recommend it!

Good luck with finding a book! I hope these help!
Reply:The Border Trilogy: (All the Pretty Horses, the Crossing, Cities of the Plain) by Cormac McCarthy.


Riverworld series by Philip Jose Farmer
Reply:"Midnighters" trilogy by Scott Westerfeld was pretty good. You probably would like it.


Hmm..I've never read Maximum ride or the Twilight series, nor do I know what they are about so its just a guess.
Reply:Try some of these:





Any books by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes are amazing! There is In The Forest of The Night, Demon In My View, Shattered Mirror, Midnight Predator. And then there is the The Kiesha'ra series: Hawksong (the best in the series!), Snakecharm, Falcondance, Wolfcry and Wyverhail.





Daughters of Destiny series: Keeper of the Winds by Jenna Solitaire, If you enjoyed the first one check out the next three books in the series. Keeper of the Waters, Keeper of the Flames and Keeper of the Earth.





The Abhorsen Trilogy (Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen) by Garth Nix





A Great and Terrible Beauty, Rebel Angels and The Far Sweet Thing by Libba Bray





The Morganville Vampire series (Glass Houses, Dead Girls Dance, Midnight Alley and Feast of Fools) by Rachel Cain





Uglies series by Scott Westernfeld





The Sight and Fell by David Clement-Davies

When writing in 3rd person....?

What are some ways to effectively show what they're thinking?





Also, how do you describe they're actions without sounding like you're giving a rundown of what they're doing?





Any examples PLEASE!!





Thanks so much! :)
When writing in 3rd person....?
I find one of the most effective ways is by changing POV in different chapters. I write crime fiction. My books are very character driven and psychological. I like shifting POV back and forth between hunter and hunted to allow my readers to get a feel for their mindsets. It is a good way to either make readers despise your villain or feel some compassion for him. James Patterson does this a lot, too. Many authors do. This also allows me to avoid using the third person omniscient which would give the whole story away because the reader would know everything the narrator does. No surprises. With this POV shift, you can use third person limited so that the story unfolds with your readers learning things at the same time your narrator does. Pax-C
When writing in 3rd person....?
I really don't see any difference between writing in the 3rd or 1st person. Yes, technically it is impossible to know what a person is thinking and with such great details but I think that is forgiven when it comes to literature.





Is this a homework question or are you trying to write a story?
Reply:"The pictures on the farther side held photographs in the same places. Identical in their numbers and colored frames as well, the only true difference was the content. Instead of friends, these pictures were of herself and another girl. The other female was thicker, had a slightly lighter skin tone, and was pretty. However, there was nothing that was strikingly remarkable or memorable about her. The photographs gave the illusion that the younger of the two young women was the destined for greatness while the older sister would fail.


Of course, Amina Sedona never thought of her sister to be a failure. Samantha was going to go college in the fall. She graduated valedictorian, the top of the class, back at the Elizabeth Marjorie Fisher Academy for Girls. Amina smirked whenever she heard her sister describe the school in conversations with relatives or whomever happened to ask about it on the street. Then once she started attending the school herself, Amina鈥檚 smiles turned into full fledged laughter."

What does the whole entire novel about ``To kill a mockingbird teaches you?

Hello ladies and gentilments,


I want to know what kind of lessons did you learn when you read the book called ``To kill a mockingbird``


I know for a fact that rasism is one of them


I am looking forword to your answers so please put in a lot of details like why was rasism a big problem in the past , but know it isnt that bad etc...


thanks for all your answers
What does the whole entire novel about ``To kill a mockingbird teaches you?
It teaches you goodness. Atticus Finch is one of the purest, most honest characters in all of literature. Goodness, tolerance, compassion ... these are the lessons of TKAM. Pax-C
What does the whole entire novel about ``To kill a mockingbird teaches you?
Obviously not to be prejudiced. It also taught us not to judge people like they judged Boo Radley and Tom Robinson. And if you plug that in, you can also say that you learn not to listen to the talk or gossip of others as they did in their small town because you can see things wrongly. I also learned, that you should do things for the right reasons not because they appear "morally" or just appear wrong (Scout didn't understand why Atticus would deffend a black man but Atticus knew he did no wrong)
Reply:Yes, racism is a big theme, but so is the fact that not all racists are bad.





For example, Mrs. Dubose was very racist, but Atticus viewed her as a hero.





The book also stresses not to discriminate because you don't understand someone (the black townspeople and Boo Radley).

Is there a "reading room" (not Christian Science) in Orange County, CA?

I love to read. Occasionally, I would like to get away from the house and go somewhere specifically to read. I know that people like to hang out at Barnes and Noble, and one can read in a library, but that's not really what I'm looking for.





What I'm thinking of would be like a library, but really more like an old-time "gentleman's club," sort of dark with big leather chairs and reading lamps. A place where I could bring my own book(s), sit down, put my feet up on an ottoman and read without distraction for a few hours.





Does such a place exist, specifically for reading, in Orange County, CA?

Haven't heard of one in OC.

Check out local junior and 4 year colleges; their libraries typically have comfortable furniture in reading rooms.
