Overused Plots and Underused Orginality

It's becoming harder and harder to find original fiction anywhere. There's a ton of people who write the same repetitive plot or use the same romanced ideas of other previous authors (such as Meyers). And I'm not saying there aren't exceptions to the rule, but the exceptions are rare.Also, I'll admit I do fall into the same scenario of boy meets girl highschool storylines. But still! I don't...

Would you read this if it was posted?

It was the same as always, wakeing up, eating breakfast, walking to school (it was only a few blocks from my house, yuck :P, i know). At least i thought it would be pretty normal. I mean if anything happened to me, my parents wouldn't really care or know until about two/three weeks later, seeing as they were off in France or Europe or someplace like that. You know, just seeing the sights. ^.^I...

Twilight

I mean it's always 'Edward I love you" and "Edward I'm not good enough for you" and "Edward, its whatever you want". And she's so...

Othello, tragic hero?

I've just recently read Othello by William Shakespear and I don't believe that he's a tragic hero. A tragic character sure, but as for tragic hero, no.He's very dramatic and VERY VERY naive, which some claim as his downfall. Also, he falls too easily into jealously, another flaw that some claim to make him a tragic hero, making it hard for me to believe in his realism, whereas a tragic hero has to...
