cfa_pilot asked:


I want to write a biography on a person in history, except I want to write it as that person was telling the story. How do I go about this? Where are good places to look for information?

The person is Alexei Romanov, by the way.

Every month my teacher makes us write 5 stories and we have to type them. One story needs to be a biography but I need an interesting person to write on.

What is the best way to write a killer biography without going on and on? I have to send in a biography for a p[project, and I want to make a really good first impression of myself. But the thing is, I feel like if I go on and on about myself, they’ll get bored. So basically what i’m trying to ask is, how can I get the message across without seeming like a drag?

Need help from fans of romance novels?

Holly V asked:


I read a great little book about fifteen or twenty years ago that I need help with finding the title/author.

It was a period piece, set in the eighteenth or nineteenth century. The heroine had sort of a psychic power where she could essentially read minds and feel the pain of others, including animals. Seems like I remember her mother rejecting her because she knew that her mom was cheating with another man. When she grew up, this psychic power caused her pain as she was an outsider and there was a lot of noise in her head that she had trouble sorting out. I remember that she went to Ireland, met a guy whose mind she couldn’t read and he was the lord of somplace and was her love interest. There was a scene with a horse (or maybe a cow or something) giving birth and she almost passed out (or did pass out) because she could feel it’s pain. There was some sort of mystery going on with fairies, fairy rings, missing time and the lord’s house (I think) being haunted.

I know this isn’t a lot of information, but if anyone can help me, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks!

Okay, my next read is going to be on Andrew Carnegie. Can anyone tell me what biography (or autobiography) is the best?

Also, any other good business or political biography ideas for after this one. I just finished Warren Buffett and Ben Franklin.

Thanks!

hey frnds i wrote this poem for my love wen she still wasnt wid me.waiting for ur comments?

Maverick asked:


just like a dream some1 came to my life
for whom i was waiting since while
till then life was so meaningless
even though it was full of all the happiness
but deep inside it was all fake
as till then i had nothing at stake
nothing so special nothing so real
nothing so sweet nothing so grand
though i used to see in my own dreams
an angel walking out to me like a queen
since then life hasnt been the same
cupid struck me and i have become insane

describing her is like a mystery novel
obviously that makes her more special
she is like a brydan adams song
sometimes rocks like summer of 69
sometimes soft and sweet like cloud no. 9
she is like a typical bolywood ploy
a masala of fun ,laughter, cry ,stupidity and joy
she is like a an indo-pak match
which i can even die to watch
she is like my childhood days
kiddish,naughty,funny in her own ways
i see all the beautiful things in my life thru her
thoguh i like her the most wen she is just “her”

1 year has been a swet journey wid her
thanx to her sweet yahoo answers
our frndship was an instant hit
as if two pagals were searching fot it
since then i have only got from her
her unflinching frnship,love ,concern and care
she never left me alone
wen times were full of anxiety ,comfusion and forlorn
she always listened to my pains
in between given me so many special names
she was stupid and funny at times
sometimes very grim wid anger
sometimes took me to her world of fun
that made me realize she is the one
and since then i call her just “fun”

now wen i look thru her beautiful eyes
all my wishes starts to fly
i wish i culd have won her trust a lot earlier
else her pretty face wont have eluded me for a year
i wish i culd have been more closer to her
as this distance never lets me show how i feel for her
i wish god would have given me all his special powers
so that i culd have ommitted her painful past and filled it wid ours
i wish i culd take her to my world
whr her thoughts have made home and conquered
i wish i culd talk more to her
to let her sweet voice soothen my ear
i wish i achieve everything and become so capable
to make every moment i wanna spend wid her so special
i wish i culd wish for a bit more
and see my future linked to urs
but i guess all these wishes r sooo untrue
if u dont ever realize wat i m for u

How can I start my biography of my friend?

Goddess Love asked:


In class, we were partnered up with a random person. We interview each other and then we must write a biography of your partner.

So, should I just do a factfile? And then add all those lifetime achievements and important things? I don’t know how to set it out. I did biographies of famous people but since my friend doesn’t do anything achievable like famous people (l0lx), I have no idea how to write it.

It would be appreciated if you tell me how to lay it out to have good grades. Teacher grade every single homework, out of 10. So, please help me.

I already got all the informations about my partner.

‘ello! asked:


I need either an autobiography or biography about a figure from India, be it a leader, philosopher, etc. (BONUS POINTS IF ITS NOT GANDHI). It also should be under 200 pages. Unusual criteria but it would be an enormous help, thanks.

athiestlesbofromhell asked:


I work at a job where I have a lot of free time to keep myself busy. We aren’t allowed to use the internet so I need some books to keep me busy. I can read almost any type of novel except for romance and mystery. They just don’t do it for me.
Well, I got some great responses so far, I’m going to check a few out, and the book I like the best will be the best answer!
