Sup. Any other AP English tards out there besides me?

I have a question. In my English class, we have to choose a book to write an essay on. From that book, we have to select a particular character with internal conflict and basically write about the internal conflict. Easy, right? Wrong. My English teacher told me the book I had chosen had no "literary merit" and, unless I wanted to completely rewrite my essay, I had to prove the book's worth.

So my question is, how the hell do you prove a work has literary merit without directly coming out and saying it? If I did that in my essay, I'd probably get dinged for veering off topic.

P.S. I've noticed a fair amount of gamers in this comm. Any Fire Emblem fans? :)

(Thoughts on this chapter)

Naruto one-shot!

RH Bloodline : Naruto is going to learn that he does indeed possess a bloodline! But the mysterious R.H. Bloodline might not exactly be what he was wishing for… a 'Bloodline!Naruto' crack fic.

Set (conveniently) during the time-skip.

Here

Thank you for your time ^^

Title: Shampoo

Style: Oneshot, crackfic, no pairings.

Author: Leiaah

Characters: Neji, Tenten, Lee, a bunch of OCs, and the rest of the Konoha 11.

Summary: What happens when Tenten and Lee push Neji to do something he doesn't want to? It is for a shampoo advert after all! Will the whole proceding end up in laughter or in tears? Or inhuman rage?

So, just a few odds and ends in this post;

I wanted to share a link and a picture of this;



And give a kudos to Deron Meranda for doing this project for his nieces. I think it's really cute.

Also, I wanted to share a link to these people just in case anyone else found them interesting. I know I was psyched to find a site offering support from and for women in technology.

Last but not least, I wanted to share a link to a dvd I watched about a week ago, during a meeting of my college's "Women in Technology" club. It's certainly changed how I see things, and is part of what inspired me to start searching for a community like this one. Glad it did!

*waves* I have a fanart of Naruto, being all moody. sorta. No spoilers.
