A little bit of research shows otherwise. Here are some responses to the common comparisons used for Horus and Jesus.
Horus’ mother was a virgin:
Horus’ mother was not a virgin. She was married to Osiris, and there is no reason to suppose she was abstinent after marriage.
Horus’ mother’s name was Meri:
There is no evidence for the claim of his mother Isis being a virgin or for "Meri" being part of her name. Only Christ-mythers make the claim that "Meri" was part of her name.
Horus is crucified accompanied by two thieves:
Horus was never crucified. There’s an unofficial story in which he dies and is cast in pieces into the water, then later fished out by a crocodile at Isis’ request. This unofficial story is the only one in which he dies at all.
There is little validity in the claims that the story of Jesus’ life, as recorded in the Gospels, was modeled after the story of the Egyptian god Horus.
Even if there are a few commonalities, Jesus still fulfilled hundreds of the detailed Messianic prophecies given in the Old Testament that Horus did not fulfill, proving that Jesus is the Messiah and Savior that God promised, not a made-up character based on a mythical Egyptian god.
As a sidenote, there is this site which compares Horus to Hitler in the same way that Acharya compares Horus to Jesus, so we can see that if someone knows enough about to people, they can misconstrue the facts enough to make you think twice about the validity of the stories.
The broad majority of those in academia, whether liberal or conservative, do not agree that early Christianity borrowed pagan doctrine. Some scholars have engaged the public on this and spoken out against it, but others frankly see it as beneath them and don’t bother, because these ideas are so fringe and lacking in evidence…

Please remember that this is the very rough draft of the first chapter and I just wrote it today. There are many punctuation mistakes along with wrong spellings and misuse of the words. So bare with me lol. Please let me know what you think but this is a rough draft so many changes will probably be made.. thanks guys!!!
oh my story is about a girl that became really famous at a really young age. She’s a singer and an actress (very talented singer and a very sought out for actress) and she used her fame for good like starting chairites, helping people and the enviorment, and standing up for people who were getting lied about and judged. (doing so she got herself known in other countries) Then something really terrible happens (a maniac fan kills her family and hospitliazes her after he thinks she’s rejecting his love) and the media attacks the situation. Asking how the man got around securty and the alarm system and how he knew where she lived. And they cook up this story about how she knew the killer and may have even had involvment in the murder. She begs people to listen but no one will until she writes a beautfiul song and then everyone feels bad for believing the lies.. (those who decided to believe them anyways)
Basically the story is about how lies and judgment can ruin someone who only wants to do good and didn’t do any harm.. It’s kind of a message I want to get out to people about how wrong it is… anyways.. thanks again lol

Chapter One
I rolled over in my big bed. I couldn’t fall asleep. My thoughts were preventing any chance of that. After a few minutes, I sat up and pushed my light brown hair out of my face. The room was dark and the moon was shining in the window casting shadows on my walls. I watched them change shapes. I turned on the light on my end table. The shadows disappeared instantly. The alarm clock read 11: 54 p.m. Six minutes until my eighteenth birthday. I would be considered an adult.
I had been an adult for about a year and a half already. Life had thrown the challenges at me that required me to grow up quickly. My age said seventeen, but my mind spoke differently. Sighing, I pushed the covers off of me. It was obvious it was going to be awhile before I was going to get any sleep. So it would be useless to continue lying in bed. I stood up and stretched, yawning.
My body was exhausted and needed sleep, but I had difficultly falling asleep for about two weeks now. I figured it had something to do with past events. Friends kept asking me if I was alright and even suggested a couple shrinks. Yeah right, like I was going to pay a man to tell me my problems. Not that I had a grudge against that kind of job or anything. I already knew what my problems were and I was dealing with them in my own way.
I walked to my large dresser to look at three small white pieces of paper that lay on it. They were checks. I stared at them for a minute before picking them up, my monthly donation to three different charities and each written for ten thousand dollars. I placed them back on my dresser.
Some of my other charities had stopped my support after the event last year. But these three and five others still accepted my money and help. I had my own charities of course. Though one had been shut down shortly after the event… Tears welled up in my eyes and I walked away from the dresser, hoping to walk away from the memory. Of course it wasn’t that easy. The memory followed me wherever I went.
A brown desk sat at the front of my room next to my walk in closet. Since I wasn’t going to sleep anytime soon, I figured I could write in my manuscript for awhile. Maybe that would lure me to bed. After using the hair tie from my wrist, I pulled up my hair up to cool my warm neck.
I sat down and the chair creaked. The manuscript was thick and heavy. I flipped it from the page I was currently on to the front. If memories were creeping up on me tonight, I might as well read about them. Possibly even re-live them if my imagination was acting up as much as everything else seemed to be tonight.
ugh my sentences are a lil choppy.. sorry guys.. and the indentation got messed up when i posted it on here so sorry for that too… the girl’s name is Ebony and more description will come when she reads her manuscript of her life so far which will be in chapter two which hasn’t been wrote yet
i honestly have absolutly no idea wat KK is tlking about…. but watever im looking for honest reviews so ignore that plz
It’s a good start. A better way to get feedback would be to join a writer’s group at the local college/university. And some cities even have writers groups for the general public. Google might help you find one, or the person(s) teaching creative writing at the local high schools or colleges may be able to put you in touch with such a group.
People in such groups exchange and critique each others work, often face to face in regular meetings.
Good luck and thanks for letting us see your draft.
"Gila Flamé" is on of the stories in "Moon Deluxe" of Frederick Barthelme.
I would like to have more information about characters, summary, themes and some literary critics.

He would take a character from a film like Chinatown and write mini-biographies of them–the middle of the biography would be the story of the film, but the first and last parts he would invent. So it was like a book of short stories. I read the book in 1991. I thought it was called The Usual Suspects but years of searching tell me it was not.

nonono, its a photostory for a speech i have to do. we have to have a visual aid and thats mine, is it okay?
I think it’s very good and will defiantly be a good aid to a speech. The pictures you choose were good and very confronting but defiantly suit the theme. The only thing I can see is some of the words, mainly Tornadoes, are a little hard to read and should epidemics begin with a capital?
What is the speech about?, I think you will pass with a photo story like this! Also, I love the music; goes really well with the pictures!
Good Luck with the speech and presentation!
Hope I helped!

WASHINGTON – When Alabama state trooper Darryl Zuchelli stopped a van going 18 mph over the speed limit on a routine patrol two months ago, he quickly became part of the federal government’s efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.
Two of the five people in the van were from India and had overstayed their allotted time in the United States. The trooper worked with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, agents in Birmingham, Ala., more than 700 miles from the nearest international border, to start deportation proceedings against the two that night.
Zuchelli is one of 56 Alabama troopers to receive special training and high-tech tools from the U.S. government to determine whether criminal suspects are in the country legally. Alabama was only the second state to partner with ICE when it signed up in 2003, following Florida.

Not, profiling. The officer had probable cause to stop the van because it was speeding. He also has the right to determine if the people he has just stopped are wanted for crimes and in doing so would be able to determine their legal status. Bravo for Trooper Zuchelli! All officers should be as a matter of routine checking for immigration status during the course a person being detained or arrested. (you are detained when on a traffic stop).
This may be a good question for an English major. Critics with a low opinion of a movie or book will sometimes describe the plot as a "one-" or "two-" dimensional story. Sometimes, colleagues will critique another for their "one-" or "two-" dimensional understanding of a situation.
I understand these to be ways of saying "too simplistic". But is there a difference between the two descriptors?
one dimensional – too superficial – does not "grab" reader
two dimensional – complex and entices reader
