Right i’ve got the Arabian nights in Arabic but it’s only a selection of stories,so i was wondering how many stories or tales are in the original version,if someone could tell me how many,their names and where to get a copy of the original Arabian Nights with all the original stories in English or in Arabic and where to buy it.

My grandfather use to read the Arabian Night Stories when he was back in his home country. He had it in Urdu and he said there were 1000 stories. He might have forgotten and there were 1001 stories i’m not sure. I have no idea where to buy them. Maybe if they’re some places where they sell books in old areas of Afghanistan, Pakistan, India (all the places surrounding there). It’s best to look somewhere close to where it was published. Other than that search online like amazon or ebay. There should be some there. It’s most likely not found in a populated bookstore like Dymocks. It might be easier to ask the book store to order it for you and then you can pick it up. I do that when it comes to buying uncommon books.
Hope you find it.

I found a website and I think it might help:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stories_within_One_Thousand_and_One_Nights

I think it has been renamed to one thousand and one nights but all the stories should still be the same.

Me and my son we have story time where we make our own stories up and we sometimes role play. What will Tom benefit from this time.

It stimulates his imagination and over all is quite beneficial for his creativity.

I was wondering how to start out my story if the main character is the narrator in the story.

I like Cheese’s answer ("I am xxx and this is my story.") when you start your first draft, to get your thoughts focused and the words flowing after you have typed it. You can rewrite it after you have finished the story and have got hold of what its about.

You, as narrator, are saying, "Something awesome (scary, horrible) happened to me and I’ve got to tell you about it." Or "I did something great or stupid or awful, and I want to boast or confess or laugh about it."

Usually, the best opening is to plunge right in. "I swallowed when I saw Principal Mulligan sitting flagpole straight in his office chair. He didn’t see me, but the snakes coming out of his eye sockets did."

Or you can use Doctor Watson’s methods. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote "A Study in Scarlet" and "A Scandal in Bohemia" 130 years ago. Perhaps they open a bit too slow for a modern story, but some stories work better from a slow start.

A Study in Scarlet : IN the year 1878 I took my degree of Doctor of Medicine of the University of London, and proceeded to Netley to go through the course prescribed for surgeons in the army. Having completed my studies there, I was duly attached to the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers as Assistant Surgeon. The regiment was stationed in India at the time, and before I could join it, the second Afghan war had broken out. …

Here you find out a bit about the narrator. The hook is in "the second Afghan war broke out". We haven’t yet met Sherlock Holmes or the reason for "A Study in Scarlet", but what a war veteran says is usually exciting.

"A Scandal in Bohemia" : To Sherlock Holmes she is always THE woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. …

Here is a mystery. Holmes has no love for Irene Adler, yet "THE Woman" is quite an accolade. Does he admire her or despise her? Watson will soongive his own view on her, but he’s present here in his remark on Holmes "I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name."

Im lost dont even know where to begin but I need to come up with a strong thesis on how the narration of a story manipulates the "vision" of the story depending on whatr perspective its in. Any tips or pointers at all would be sooo appreciated.

Third person omniscient gives all characters’ perspectives. Third person limited gives strong descriptions of one or two characters’ actions and thoughts taken from a neutral observation.
First person narration tells the story from the point of view of only one character, leaving much of the story to be ascertained by the reader through textual hints.

I know modern people in some religions or sects of certain religions don’t take their entire holy books as literal truth. An example would be some Christians not believing in the story of Noah as being completely true.

How do you decide which stories are to be taken literally and which should simply have some sort of moral meaning? If you don’t take the whole book as truth, how can you be sure of the validity of any of it? How do you know anything about your God?

Thank you.

This is why I’m a Catholic and you aren’t.

Because you want to be your own Pope…but that is how we got in this mess to begin with.

Just to show you how much you don’t know, I quote the Catholic Catechism and the 2000 year tradition that says all Scripture is both figurative AND literal.

=========
The senses of Scripture

115 According to an ancient tradition, one can distinguish between two senses of Scripture: the literal and the spiritual, the latter being subdivided into the allegorical, moral and anagogical senses. The profound concordance of the four senses guarantees all its richness to the living reading of Scripture in the Church.

116 The literal sense is the meaning conveyed by the words of Scripture and discovered by exegesis, following the rules of sound interpretation: "All other senses of Sacred Scripture are based on the literal."83

117 The spiritual sense. Thanks to the unity of God’s plan, not only the text of Scripture but also the realities and events about which it speaks can be signs.

1. The allegorical sense. We can acquire a more profound understanding of events by recognizing their significance in Christ; thus the crossing of the Red Sea is a sign or type of Christ’s victory and also of Christian Baptism.84

2. The moral sense. The events reported in Scripture ought to lead us to act justly. As St. Paul says, they were written "for our instruction".85

3. The anagogical sense (Greek: anagoge, "leading"). We can view realities and events in terms of their eternal significance, leading us toward our true homeland: thus the Church on earth is a sign of the heavenly Jerusalem.86

118 A medieval couplet summarizes the significance of the four senses:

The Letter speaks of deeds; Allegory to faith;
The Moral how to act; Anagogy our destiny.87

AND THE RULES OF INTERPRETATION
To interpret Scripture correctly, the reader must be attentive to what the human authors truly wanted to affirm, and to what God wanted to reveal to us by their words.75

110 In order to discover the sacred authors’ intention, the reader must take into account the conditions of their time and culture, the literary genres in use at that time, and the modes of feeling, speaking and narrating then current. "For the fact is that truth is differently presented and expressed in the various types of historical writing, in prophetical and poetical texts, and in other forms of literary expression."76

111 But since Sacred Scripture is inspired, there is another and no less important principle of correct interpretation, without which Scripture would remain a dead letter. "Sacred Scripture must be read and interpreted in the light of the same Spirit by whom it was written."77

The Second Vatican Council indicates three criteria for interpreting Scripture in accordance with the Spirit who inspired it.78

112 1. Be especially attentive "to the content and unity of the whole Scripture". Different as the books which compose it may be, Scripture is a unity by reason of the unity of God’s plan, of which Christ Jesus is the center and heart, open since his Passover.79

The phrase "heart of Christ" can refer to Sacred Scripture, which makes known his heart, closed before the Passion, as the Scripture was obscure. But the Scripture has been opened since the Passion; since those who from then on have understood it, consider and discern in what way the prophecies must be interpreted.80

113 2. Read the Scripture within "the living Tradition of the whole Church". According to a saying of the Fathers, Sacred Scripture is written principally in the Church’s heart rather than in documents and records, for the Church carries in her Tradition the living memorial of God’s Word, and it is the Holy Spirit who gives her the spiritual interpretation of the Scripture (". . . according to the spiritual meaning which the Spirit grants to the Church"81).

114 3. Be attentive to the analogy of faith.82 By "analogy of faith" we mean the coherence of the truths of faith among themselves and within the whole plan of Revelation.

First off, I’m asking what are the stories of riches in New Mexico? How do all of them connect and impact history? I need to understand this a little better. Please help

Here are some links to Wikipedia articles on the stories the invading Spanish believed:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Dorado

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quivira_and_C%C3%ADbola

For more information on the subject (and since you may not be able to use Wikipedia articles if you are working on a class assignment), I recommend you talk (either via phone or in person) with a reference librarian at either your local public library (if you are not a college student) or your campus library (if you are a college student) to help you find good resources to help you complete your work.

In case you are not aware of it, most public and academic libraries in the USA have excellent (and expensive) electronic databases on all sorts of topics, with full-text journal articles and other resources. Generally, most of the databases are accessible from one’s home computer through the libraries’ web pages and a valid library card. A librarian can instruct you on how to best use the databases and conduct your research.

Also, most public libraries and college/univ. libraries in the US have an electronic question/answer service, often called Ask A Librarian, or some other form of IM which available as a link usually from the library home page. Using either method would get you your answer a lot faster.

Plus, if you are a college student, part of your tuition has helped pay for the expensive services and resources of the campus library. Most public libraries are funded by local and state taxes. You have paid for the services of libraries already. Use what you have paid for.

I have to do and English short story, about 1500-2000 words, but i can’t figure out what to write it about. I want it to be kinda funny and fun for little kids, my 6 year old sister will judge for me, but i just can’t figure what to right about. I want to make it about a rubber duck, or just something really random.

So make it about a rubber duck. Maybe floating down a stream or something like that.

I know a little bit about the story but i don’t know the whole story. I need to know everything i can about it.

No-one ‘discovered’ Hungarian folk music – it always existed, just the same as the folk music of any country. So, it needed no ‘discovery’.

I think you are referring to the pioneering work done by Hungarian composers Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály, who toured around central and eastern Europe collecting and transcribing the folk music of their native Hungary (and other countries as well). Folk music is not written down; it is ‘handed-down’ orally from generation to generation. Bartók and Kodály’s aim was to preserve the folk music they loved (and which permeated their compositions) so it would be preserved for posterity as the modern 20th-century world forced more former peasants into work in the cities and thus diluted the folk traditions of the people.

I need to read and record a chart for 5 different stories and record 5 literary terms found in each of them. Does anyone know any good stories at the top of their head. Thank you very much.
Any help is appreciated.
