Jessie Said:

If I want to write children's books, what major would best suit me?

We Answered:

You don't have to have a degree to write a book. there have been many writers throughout history who didn't have an english degree like antoine de saint expery. he was an elegant writer who wrote wind, sand and stars and the little prince. a degree will not make you a better writer. a degree is only a piece if paper. but watch how people will give me negative marks because of their ignorance.

Rodney Said:

What classic books should I read to improve my creative writing?

We Answered:

Homer is a wonderful writer, The Odyssey contains phrases that are still in use today, after centuries of being read and studied.

Similarly, The Aeneid by Virgil is a fantastic book, and I personally like the characters better.

Both are a great introduction to ideas that have helped shape the formation of literature in our culture.

The Epic of Gilgamesh and Beowulf, both very ancient, are also wonderful to read in the light of understanding the formative influences on our literary traditions.

Chaucer is really well worth reading, because his writing is very diverse, he can be light and amusing or deeply serious, and his language is interesting and challenging.

Shakespeare is always a good read, once again, a challenging writer but better for that.

Personally, I enjoyed the works of Aphra Behn, her stories are interesting and give a different look at life in the past.

Jane Austen is an all time favourite of many because of the simple elegance of her prose, and her marvellous knack of moving a story along through dialogue.

William Makepeace Thackeray is a marvellous writer whose language and stories could be almost from the modern day. His great classic, Vanity Fair is fascinating and told with a good deal of humour.

Charles Dickens wrote many wonderful books, and some terrific short stories. If you would like something that doesn't weigh as much as a housebrick, try A Christmas Carol or A Tale of Two Cities, both of which are very moving and exciting.

The Mill on the Floss is a wonderful, and very moving story by George Eliot, outstanding for its depiction of the inner struggle of people in difficult situations.

Umberto Ecco wrote the wonderfully complex and lyrical Name of The Rose, a densely textured novel about the darker, and lighter, sides of humanity, set in a mediaeval monastery.

A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth takes a long, hard look at the central ideas and motivations of many Indian customs and attitudes.

The Dream of the Red Chamber is a romantic novel (very long) which is held by many Chinese people to be the greatest work of fiction produced in China, ever.

Any of these books or authors would be great to read simply for enjoyment, and there are so many more. Many of them are available to read for free, online, at Project Gutenberg (link below).

Once you start, you will become addicted to the classics :-)

Best wishes :-)

I have to write a children's book for Creative Writing and I need some ideas. Got any? Here are the rules:

We Answered:

Okay, get out your paper and pencil and do some brainstorming: Three columns -- Jot down what you want children to know or learn about being responsible, being respectful, and being ready. (I'm not sure what you mean by "ready" though.) After you've brainstormed those things, go to the next step in the same three columns: What situations could conceivably teach the things you've just listed. You'll want to name things that kids would "buy into" of course. By the time you finish those two steps, you should be able to choose your topic. To come up with an ending, something good has to happen to your main character because he was responsible, respectful, or ready. Voila!! You have a story!!
