I think John Wayne was overrated. He played every part the same.

1. The Searchers
2. The Quiet Man
3. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
4. Big Jake
5. Horse Soldiers
As much as I love John Wayne, I’m shocked I haven’t seen any more of his movies than I have.
Yeah, he played the same role over and over (with a few notable exceptions, primarily The Searchers). But, his movies were still very enjoyable. Not deep, but fun.

Lonesome Dove
|
IMDB rating: 9.00 Plot: Retired Texas Rangers Gus McRae and Woodrow Call are content to live out their remaining years in the tiny Texas town of Lonesome Dove. Then their old friend Jake comes to town, and tells them about the incredible oppurtunities for cattle ranching in Montana. Encouraged by this, Call convinces Gus and many other townspeople to go on a perilous cattle drive to Montana. Gus has another agenda though: his former sweetheart now lives in Nebraska, and he hopes for a second chance with her. As the drive goes on it takes on an epic scale, ultimately becoming what could well be called the central event in the lives of all involved. |

To anyone who has read LONESOME DOVE! Want to help me out?
I just finished reading Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry and now I need to write a 6ish page paper analyzing a single aspect of the novel. I am supposed to pick a thesis and back it up with quotes, examples, etc.
I loved the book but it is so long and there is so much that goes on in the book that I am having trouble picking just one thing to write about.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Maybe you could focus on what I thought was the main feature of the book: the long friendship between Gus and Call. You could write about the effects of their friendship on each other and how it affected other people as well. Were they good for each other? Did being friends with each other help them or hurt them? How did their friendship affect other people, like Call’s son Newt? Would they have been better off not associating with one another or was it good that they were around each other for so long? Your examples of how you felt about their friendship would be easy to back up with quotes and other passages from the book since a lot of it deals with those two. It would, of course, also require you to present your own interpretations of various passages in the book.
I personally think that Gus was good for Call because Call had a tendency to be rather stiff and distant and Gus was more of a fun-loving guy whose jokes and general light-hearted air kept things loose and kept them human. Call was probably good for Gus too because he had a good hard work ethic (which happy-go-lucky Gus might have been lacking a bit in) and ran a tight, smart business with Gus. Both were very loyal people, especially with each other, and each knew that they could rely on the other to be loyal to the end.

My boyfriend doesnt like to kiss me or hold my hand , why ?
I love that stuff , and I think little stuff like that make a big deal . But he just told me " i don’t like to kiss 100 times a day , and i don’t know about holding hands , you like that stuff i don’t " . Him telling me that hurt , feels like he doesn’t want to be with me , but ive gave him plenty of opportunities to get out of this relationship , and he says he doesn’t want to . I even broke up with him , and he begged me back . Im so confused , i don’t know what to do . I love this man with my whole heart .
because he hates you

I don’t understand. If you love him then just respect his decision. Some guys don’t like kissing and drama everyday.

dis_orient_ed | Nov 19, 2009
some guys don’t like to show love because they think it makes them weak. I don’t think that it’s to big of a deal. If you two love each other it doesn’t matter to much.
You can also come out and say that it hurt you or at least drop hints.
B r e e | Nov 19, 2009
He maybe doesn’t kiss and hold your hand yet because maybe he doesnt want people knowing your dating or he doesnt feel it yet so you could try to play and talk to him more and it might just be your lucky day

What does a demon look like?
Here’s what happened- I was sleeping at night and woke up suddenly to the sight of a very haggard looking, brownish-green skinned woman, with long ragged black/grey hair, claws, and lime green eyes. In one her hands was a machete and she was walking towards me. As I watched her in disbelief, I noticed another person or thing in my bedroom. It was a man with similar features…lime green eyes, dark hair, and brownish-green skin. He was kneeling on the floor with his head hung over, as if he was awaiting the blade. I didn’t know what to think so before she swung her blade I turned and said to myself, "la ilah ila allah…there is no god but allah." I didn’t really look back to check but the beings didn’t harm or come near me. Were these ghosts or demons? Or what?
I don’t think this was sleep paralysis. I’ve experienced that before, and in this case I was able to move and talk. When I experienced sleep paralysis I was unable to move or talk for what seemed like 15 minutes. I was able to think, and tried to scream, but took long time before I managed anything. I doubt what I’m talking about here was sleep paralysis.
ME!

If this is not a Troll Question, what you are describing sounds like an episode of Sleep Paralysis.
This happens to everyone at one time or another in their lives and it is that "you" woke up before your brain released its control on your body… So you were half awake, half asleep, and having what basically boils down to an easily explainable hallucination.

Did you ever see paranormal activity?
There was a demon that haunted her, it was invisible tho, it just did creepy crap to scare her and you could hear its footsteps.
**Definitions-
devil: an evil supernatural being
monster: a cruel wicked and inhuman person
hoLLiStEr<3eR!!! | Nov 19, 2009
A few possibilities of what heppened…
1.These are ghost/demons/spirits/angels whatever you want to call them.
2. You are suffering from sleep paralysis.
3. Someone slipped LSD into your dinner.
4.You were really dreaming but you thought you were awake.
There may be more, but that’s all I can think of.
As for what does a demon look like,,, I really don’t know.
