Today I wanted to write about a man who, like Hussain, serves as an example for us in our daily lives. History is full of inspirational figures, but rarely do we see an entire family of piety. Hussain’s father Ali taught him the morals and values that are spoken about at length on this website. So let me tell you about Ali…

       Shelly lived in Washington and she was really sceptical about men. It was due to her bad experience with her former boyfriend who had cheated her. She hadn’t gone out for a date for a long time. She had a funny thought that she was immune to men already.  One day, Shelly went to an amusement park with her friend, Lily.

It can be so challenging to write a blog on your mobile - unless you're familiar with texting in English on a cellphone.
You're writing on a smaller screen you're unfamiliar with - without the supporting software installed on your computer. And, the Internet connection may not be as good.

Recently I feel like a rebel.I don't like people tell me what to do and treat me like a child. I am an adult and I am the one who control my destiny. I just let my anger hide. I know it is unhealthy, but when I can't take it anymore I just listen to Muse and The Corrs. I feel so alone and left behind. It's so hard to meet my friends. Maybe if my family forgives me I will change but once again please let me be myself so I don't have to fight my anger. Mind your own business...

The battle between our intellect and emotions is as old as the hills. They're kinda like an old couple, always bickering and nagging. They have a very fascinating relationship, though.

Let's take a look:

How 'bout you? Do your brain and heart get along well or do they need therapy?

Mary works in an advertising company and has a new colleague. His name is Mark. His handsome look catches much of ladies’ attention in the office but Mary doesn’t like him at all.  For her, Mark is really a snobbish and sarcastic. Well, when they met for the first time, he called her “a red mop”.  It really stung her because he was making fun of her. Of course, she has short red hair but it does not look like a mop at all! What a cruel man!

 Every day, Mary is trying very hard to avoid talking to

Have you ever wondered why characters are necessary in a narrative work?

If so (and if you are curious), in this brief article we will tell you why they are so important and why it is necessary to work on them so much.

Your characters carry the weight of the story

This is perhaps the most basic reason why. Without characters, there is no one to perform the actions you want to tell. It is as simple as that. Because of this, anything they decide to do while under the reader’s scrutiny must be somethi
