I have been scanning and saving my mother's old 1940 photos and came across one of two soldiers in front of something called Tiber Terrace. I believe one was a neighborhood fellow my mother wrote to during the war. I had tried to locate where this building could be and then I found your article. It's amazing that this building is still there and in such great shape. Thanks for the help, Ed This article solved a mystery for me.

I'm in 8th grade, and I chose this book for a project for school. I am on page 94, and I felt completely hopeless. I read about every paragraph twice, and still, so confusing. Sooo many characters, plots, and important reminders, I just had to clear things up online. Lucky I found StephsNotes! You are my savior, and now I'll get an A. Much appreciated! <3Steph Steph, (nice name:) I just wanted to thank you sp much for writing these ten amazigly helpful tips for my reading.

All of the authors listed in the anthology have created numerous poems (most are in book collections), of which I only selected one or two. If you're looking for a basic book on poetry forms, A KICK INTHE HEAD is one of my all-time favorites. If you're going with a certain theme to create a poetry collection, that's another route. Verse novels, such as those by Ellen Hopkins, are hard hitting works for teens. What's the focus of your project? There are a million-plus poems out there, depending on the focus of your project.
