I can choose Memoirs of a Geisha and One thousand White Women or A Doll’s House and the Glass Menagerie. Which set did you personally prefer and why? Also which set is easier to write individual papers and a synthesis paper on? Thank you!

I did one on A Doll’s House and thought it rather easy but I have heard that Memoirs of a Geisha is really good too. They are both based a different aspects of women lifestyles and the choices they had to make or the choices they were not oportuned too. You pick… it should be interesting anyway you go…just don’t wait.. putting papers off and procrastination do not go hand in hand with grades. Good Luck1

If they are the same interest rate, it will be exactly the same amount of interest.

Everything else being equal, it doesn’t matter what the denomination is, if the interest rate is the same.

BTW, The US Government is the only entity in the US that issues $100.00 face value bonds.

The standard Par value of the overwhelming majority of bonds issued in the US is $1,000.00

We don’t say kilOGram or, for that matter, milLImetre, cenTImetre or kilOByte.
Surely it should be KILometre. It makes no sense at all.

The correct pronunciation, in English, is Kil – o – metre. Our cousins across the water speak USA and so say: Kilom – etre! So do our friends Down Under.

Mejor que mil palabras vacias es una palabra que traiga la paz.

A very wise commentary in view of the amount of obfuscation and confusion created by meaningless verbiage.

Depending on how much this paper means to them…I would set a rate per hour (approximately 6-10 dollars)….keep track of your time to show the person that you are writing it for. Research takes a lot of time, so be sure that you let them know this. Good luck!

Talk to your bank. they have many services to offer at no cost to you. just don’t go to hot shot brokers. it makes no sense for you to pay someone for these services when your bank offers them for free. also they sleep with your girl.

And was it in Persia? Help!

One Thousand and One Nights is a collection of folk tales and other stories. It is often known in English as the Arabian Nights, from the first English language edition (1706), which rendered the title as The Arabian Nights’ Entertainment.

The tales themselves trace their roots back to ancient and medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Egyptian and Mesopotamian folklore and literature. In particular, many tales were originally folk stories from the Caliphate era, while others, especially the frame story, are most probably drawn from the Pahlavi Persian work Hazār Afsān (Persian: هزار افسان, lit. Thousand Tales). Though the oldest Arabic manuscript dates from the 14th century, scholarship generally dates the collection’s genesis to around the 9th century.

What is common throughout all the editions of the Nights is the initial frame story of the ruler Shahryar (from Persian: شهريار, meaning "king" or "sovereign") and his wife Scheherazade (from Persian: شهرزاده, meaning "townswoman") and the framing device incorporated throughout the tales themselves. The stories proceed from this original tale; some are framed within other tales, while others begin and end of their own accord. Some editions contain only a few hundred nights, while others include 1,001 or more.

Some of the best-known stories of The Nights, particularly "Aladdin’s Wonderful Lamp", "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" and "The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor", while almost certainly genuine Middle-Eastern folk tales, were not part of The Nights in Arabic versions, but were interpolated into the collection by its early European translators.
