Question: I need a grammar check on my story for my AP American Lit Class. Hi, we were assigned a project in which we had to write a creation myth. This is mine. I was hoping that you all could read it and foremost, give me a very detailed grammar check, and maybe tell me what you think. Also if you think I could phrase something better that please tell me. As part of the assignment, we had to make sure that our myths fulfilledd four purposes. 1. Instill Awe about the world 2. Support Native American customs 3. Guide people (morally) 4. Explain something about the world -Please read the story and tell me if you think it does this. I know that this story is rather lengthy, but if you could find it in your heart to help someone like me with their paper, please read and check it. This would help me out so much. After all who better to come to than the Yahoo Answer community. Anyways thanks in advance. -Ben Here is my story: The Origin of the Rivers In the beginning, before men, there were many powerful gods. The gods had lived for a countless amount of years in the spirit world, when they grew tired of their world and wanted to create a new one. The gods quarreled over what it would be like, what would inhabit it, and more importantly, who would create it. The eldest god called together a great council of twelve of the wisest gods. The eldest god explained that the new world would be created by the most astute and athletic of the gods. The council decided upon a series of trials to determine the most able of body and sound of mind. After careful thought and consideration of the competition by the council, the great ones decided upon three tasks that would test each competitor’s abilities. Alas, after much thought and careful planning, the eldest god called together a meeting of the tribe. “First,” said the great chieftain with much authority and sternness, “the most gallant of this mighty tribe will assemble when day breaks three moons from this hour.” The entire tribe began to talk among themselves, wondering who would participate in the trials to come. On the day of the trials, ten of the bravest and most powerful warrior gods assemble before the great council of elders. The elders explained that in the trial the gods would have to run across the Great Desert of Endumortus, climb the mountain of Great Riddilus, and finally answer correctly the riddle of transcendence. The competitors marveled at the difficulty of the challenge. The competitors lined up at the beginning of the desert and began to run. Many grew weary after a short amount of time and could no longer compete. Only six gods were left after the desert crossing, still the most difficult challenge remained as they began to ascend the great mountain. When they reached the summit, only three were left. They were the gods Buenos, Medianus, and Malus. As the three warriors stood atop the summit, the great spirit Riddilus appeared before them. He was adorned in a large headdress. He said, “What are two things that one can never eat for breakfast?”. All three gods thought for some period of time and replied in unison, “Lunch and dinner.” Riddilus smirked at the cleverness of the warriors. He then lifted the three gods and placed them upon his back. He flew to the foothills of the mountain where the council of elders awaited the return of the victorious warrior. The elder council was shocked that three gods had completed the task. They had only anticipated one god to complete such a rigorous course. The eldest god called for a immediate meeting with the council members to decide what to do with the victors. After a brief discussion, they decided to allow all three members to work on the new world. The elders saw potential in each of them that could be combined to form a better world than could be made by a single god. Medianus and Buenos were fine with the new arrangements, but Malus thought that he could create a better world without the help of the others. However, Malus did not show this rage and instead pretended as though he was satisfied with cooperating with Medianus and Buenos. Then the council then left the triumvirate to themselves. The three began to talk about what should be in the world and what should not. Medianus began to form the new world. As he did this, he also created rocks, dirt, plants, animals, as well as the rain. He also created a creature to inhabit this new place, man. Malus sees this and begins to hate this new creature. Malus thought for a short time and eventually Malus began to work. He started a drought, as he was of the crooked mind and could only take away and not create. The drought took away the many good things that Medianus had given man. Buenos however, liked man and wanted to help him. Buenos could not take away the drought as it was started by a god of equal standing. Buenos began to ponder a solution to this problem. He went down to visit this new world. As Buenos arrived, he began to hear the cries of suffering and pain caused by Malus’ drought. He watched as whole groups of people vanished from the lack of Medianus’ rain. He also watched as he saw animals die and plants wither from the heat and lack of water. Buenos sat upon a rock and started to think of a way to help the poor creatures. Buenos sat on the same rock for many days, contemplating the problem at hand. Buenos needed a way to bring water to these people, without them having to rely on the rain. Buenos eventually came up with the idea to create the oceans. He walked to the middle of the desert and began to fill it with a vast amount of water. This restored life to the surrounding lands. Buenos was very happy with his creation. He was so happy that in fact he stayed on the new world to wait for man to see what he had made. When man first gazed upon the oceans, he was in awe of the endless supply of water. The many people ran to the shore of the ocean to drink from the newly found wealth. The people delighted in the taste of the refreshing water. This angered Malus. As the new world blossomed and became full of life, Malus became more discontent. Malus began to think of a way to outdo what Buenos had made. Malus decided that he would taint the water with salt. Man went about his life happily. The ocean provided all the water they would need in times of drought. However this would not last. Malus poisoned all of the world’s water with the wretched salts. This killed the plants and it also made the water undrinkable. Man began to panic at the thought of life without the precious gift that Buenos had bestowed upon them. Buenos was furious with what Malus had done to his creation. Buenos knew however that he could not tamper with the work of another god. Buenos quickly thought of a plan to create a source of water that could not be touched and that would spread throughout the entire land. Buenos then separated the ground and filled this void with fresh water. He then walked along the water and it flowed. Buenos then proclaimed his new creation to man. He called this new body of water “the river“. He was happy with his river and so was man. The world once again flourished and man was able to use the power of the river to travel on canoes and to fish. Malus was once again angered by what Buenos had done. Malus tried to poison the river, but any salt that he put into it, would simply flow down the river and into the ocean. Buenos was enraged by Malus’ actions. He was determined to stop Malus’ attempts to ruin the world. Buenos called upon Medianus to assist him with Malus. Medianus agreed to help and they both began to search for Malus. They found him lying on the beach of the great ocean that he had destroyed. Medianus and Buenos both lifted him, and they threw him into the middle of the ocean. Malus tried to stay afloat, but he gave up after a short while. He then sunk to the cold dark bottom of the ocean. After Malus was killed the world continued to grow. Man was thankful of the good things that Buenos had given them. The people all across the land began to thank Buenos. They sang and danced like the current in the river to praise him. Buenos promised man that he would watch over the water of the world. Buenos became known as “The River Spirit” of the new world that he had helped to create.

Answer: ALERT. The money will be sent by wire directly to your bank account. Any legitimate company will simply mail you a check. By giving them your account number you are giving them 100% access to any funds in your account. Nigerian Scam: They send you checks. You will wire or send money. The checks will bounce (they may clear at first - international checks are different). I would not touch this - I would rather get some horrible disease and die a slow death. /

Question: Is it true New Hampshire is threatening to succeed? The New Hampshire state legislature introduced a resolution on Monday, to declare certain actions by the federal government to completely totally void and warning that certain future acts will be viewed as a "breach of peace" that risks nullifying the Constitution." __________________ Here is a brief Outline: For instance, it reminds Congress "That the Constitution of the United States, having delegated to Congress a power to punish treason, counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States, piracies, and felonies committed on the high seas, and offences against the law of nations, slavery, and no other crimes whatsoever;. . . . . therefore all acts of Congress which assume to create, define, or punish crimes, other than those so enumerated in the Constitution are altogether void, and of no force;" Federal gun crime laws? Void. Federal drug crime laws? Void. The other federal criminal laws that deal with anything other than the specific enumerated crimes? ALL VOID. One would think that if any lawyer anywhere in the entire country was worth his salt, all federal criminal trials would have ended years ago. This seems to prove that most lawyers are dullards. New Hampshire deals a complete death blow to the pending federal hate crimes legislation by pointing out "That, therefore, all acts of Congress of the United States which do abridge the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, are not law, but are altogether void, and of no force; . . . . ." Later in the Resolution, New Hampshire makes clear what the feds are now risking if they proceed further: The removal of all powers from the federal government by the States! Quoting directly from the Resolution: "That any Act by the Congress of the United States, Executive Order of the President of the United States of America or Judicial Order by the Judicatories of the United States of America which assumes a power not delegated to the government of United States of America by the Constitution for the United States of America and which serves to diminish the liberty of the any of the several States or their citizens shall constitute a nullification of the Constitution for the United States of America by the government of the United States of America. Acts which would cause such a nullification include, but are not limited to: I. Establishing martial law or a state of emergency within one of the States comprising the United States of America without the consent of the legislature of that State. II. Requiring involuntary servitude, or governmental service other than a draft during a declared war, or pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law. III. Requiring involuntary servitude or governmental service of persons under the age of 18 other than pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law. IV. Surrendering any power delegated or not delegated to any corporation or foreign government. V. Any act regarding religion; further limitations on freedom of political speech; or further limitations on freedom of the press. VI. Further infringements on the right to keep and bear arms including prohibitions of type or quantity of arms or ammunition; and That should any such act of Congress become law or Executive Order or Judicial Order be put into force, all powers previously delegated to the United States of America by the Constitution for the United States shall revert to the several States individually. Any future government of the United States of America shall require ratification of three quarters of the States seeking to form a government of the United States of America and shall not be binding upon any State not seeking to form such a government; and That copies of this resolution be transmitted by the house clerk to the President of the United States, each member of the United States Congress, and the presiding officers of each State's legislature.

Answer: Probably won't happen. Post it in politics and government.

Question: What do these California Firearm Laws here mean: PC 12031 (I), (J)(1) and (J)(2)? (i) Nothing in this section shall prevent any person from carrying a loaded firearm in an area within an incorporated city while engaged in hunting, provided that the hunting at that place and time is not prohibited by the city council. (j) (1) Nothing in this section is intended to preclude the carrying of any loaded firearm, under circumstances where it would otherwise be lawful, by a person who reasonably believes that the person or property of himself or herself or of another is in immediate, grave danger and that the carrying of the weapon is necessary for the preservation of that person or property. As used in this subdivision, "immediate" means the brief interval before and after the local law enforcement agency, when reasonably possible, has been notified of the danger and before the arrival of its assistance. (j) (2) A violation of this section is justifiable when a person who possesses a firearm reasonably believes that he or she is in grave danger because of circumstances forming the basis of a current restraining order issued by a court against another person or persons who has or have been found to pose a threat to his or her life or safety. This paragraph may not apply when the circumstances involve a mutual restraining order issued pursuant to Division 10 (commencing with Section 6200) of the Family Code absent a factual finding of a specific threat to the person's life or safety. It is not the intent of the Legislature to limit, restrict, or narrow the application of current statutory or judicial authority to apply this or other justifications to defendants charged with violating Section 12025 or of committing other similar offenses. Upon trial for violating this section, the trier of fact shall determine whether the defendant was acting out of a reasonable belief that he or she was in grave danger.

Answer: 1) hunting only if not prohibited. 2) Lawful to carry "Immediate" as stated while waiting for police to arrive after being called about situation. 3) may be justified except in cases of non threats but restraining orders.

Question: When does “ease” come after hardship? Days? Weeks? Months? Years?? Or never? It seems like I have more trials ahead of me... It’s not that I just keep thinking of the past that has damaged me so much in all it’s different forms. It is the present too. I have so much to deal with right now at home, and i feel like it is getting harder and harder for me to cope. My days consist of a mixture of emotions, all coming on and coming off one after the other. Angry, then sad, then depressed, then sad, then angry, then feeling trapped, then sad, then angry, then annoyed, hurt, isolated, worthless, SAD, ANGRY, SAD. Next year, I should really be going to uni. It’s the only thing I am looking forward to... But I don’t think I will have the money. Actually, I KNOW I won’t have the money. Or the grades... But, a combination of student loans, part time job and maintenance grant should help me somehow. There finally was a job vacancy in the stupid village that I live in, I wanted to apply... but it meant that I had to work at the supermarket till. I checked a lot of fatwas... looks like scanning alcohol through is considered haram, lol. I am going through many things right now... day by day it seems to get worse. I know, the one who doesn’t have anyone has Allah... yes, I know. I know. But it’s just so hard... Not to mention that I feel so much guilt. My mom is quite ill, she has several health problems that really affect her daily life, and I feel bad for not getting a full time job, but for wanting to stay in education for as long as possible, even if it means moving away from home. I keep imaging her all alone... not to mention that I am a bad daughter and never have any energy to spend time with her. Currently, we are technically in debt with the rent and there was a court date, but they are putting it on hold and trying to sort it out. It takes a lot of patience on my side calling up one office after the other only to be told that I need to be referred to another number to speak to someone else. Day by day, I get stressed so easily. It seems like things that wouldn’t bother me 4 years ago, all now push me to the edge as I am becoming older now. My sensitivity is heightened, and I am losing my temper more and more. I feel like every single being is against me as I am getting mistreated by everybody. I feel really on the edge. And the thing is, it’s always been like this, ever since I can remember. Ever since we had to move away. Ever since I lost the meaning of a “family”. Oh I don’t know, 14 years of dealing with the same problems... kind of turns you insane. I feel like I have to endure so much. I have to always worry about everything and get things sorted. I feel responsible for too many things at the same time. I like the simple things, they make me happy. But every time I get some brief happiness from the tiniest thing, that thing gets taken away from me within a day. "Be sure we shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or lives, or the fruits (of your toil), but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere.” (Al Qur’an 2:155) But, I want to give up. Right now. I just don't care about things anymore. I think I am turning bitter. I keep thinking, if I can't stay cool in this, how can I get reward for it, right? So, will these "glad tidings" be given even if I just find it hard to appreciate my situation?

Answer: 1) There's a lot to b said regarding the matter, but I'll write some verses and Hadiths, then I'll link to a few articles that I hope will clear some of the things to you, and help you in your hardship. 2) The prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The greatest reward comes with the greatest trial. When Allaah loves a people He tests them. Whoever accepts that wins His pleasure but whoever is discontent with that earns His wrath." [Narrated by al-Tirmidhi] 3) It was narrated that Suhayb said: the Messenger of Allaah, sallaa-Allaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said: "How wonderful is the affair of the mu'min (believer), for all his affairs are good, and this applies to no one except the mu'min. If something good happens to him, he gives thanks, and that is good for him, and if something bad happens to him, he bears it with patience, and that is good for him." [Narrated by Muslim] 4) God says in his book: "But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not." [Chapter 2 : Verse 216] 5) And he says: "Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: ‘We believe,’ and will not be tested. And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allaah will certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood of) those who are liars, (although Allaah knows all that before putting them to test)" [Chapter 29: Verses 2-3] 6) Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I said: 'O Messenger of Allaah, which of the people are most sorely tested?' He said: 'The Prophets, then the next best and the next best. A man will be tested in accordance with his level of religious commitment. If his religious commitment is strong, he will be tested more severely, and if his religious commitment is weak, he will be tested in accordance with his religious commitment. Calamity will keep befalling a person until he walks on the earth with no sin on him.'" [Narrated by al-Tirmidhi] 7) Articles on the matter: - The believer’s attitude towards calamities: http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/71236 - Many calamities have befallen her and she has given up on life: http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/100267 - The wisdom behind calamities: http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/35914 - Every cloud has a silver lining: http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/21631 - The virtue of patience: http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/35869
