Top 10 most important events in WWI?
I'm writing a children's book about WWI for my history class and I need help narrowing the events in the war down to just 10 or so. There just seems to be so many things I feel like I should put in, but if I put in too much then it loses the effect of a children's book, so I'm not sure which events should be dropped and which not.
Drama in College Help?
College Drama or Illustration? HELP!? Hello! So college is starting around the fall, and I am a little confused as to what courses I want to take. I don't know if I want to do Drama or major in Illustration. My mother is always saying, "major in something that can pay the bills" I get where she's coming from, but I'm not going to do something for four years that I don't like. So my question is in college is Drama a hard class to take? I do suffer from shyness, but I also want to take it so I can crack open my shell a bit. I've always wanted to become an actress, so it will give me great experience on acting in front of people and building a better audience. (Just Wondering!)
Book Name and ideas please?
I need a name for the book, and ideas you have for it (romances, etc.) The book is part of a mini series called the Thirteen tests. It focuses on Katrina Williams, the main character, as she saves the world (call me old fashioned, but whatever.) Katrina is saved from a giant titan (Iapetos) by her soon-to-be best friend, Henry, and her soon-to-be worst enemy, Lauren. She finds out over the course of several chapters that Henry and Lauren are part of a secret society training children to fight Cronos. The gods have to use a mortal to fight the main titan - last time Cronos rose, they used Heracles, who didn't really die from that poision like everyone says he did. Nah, he defeated the most powerful titan of all time and then keeled over and became immortal (the prize for defeating Cronos - eternal life.). But the gods aren't ready to let just anyone kill Cronos - what if they fail? Enter, dun-da-dun, the thirteen tests. Each god and goddess on the olympian council (plus Hestia, because I think she's awesome) devises a test to see if the hero in question is good enough, strong enough, smart enough, etc. If the hero passes, they recive a power from that god/dess. Only catch? The hero doesn't know the test is happening until it's over. Long story short, they accept Katrina. At the end of the book, it is discovered that Henry is a god (Hades) and that she has passed her first test, giving her power to control the dead seconded only by Henry. That's all I've got, and I'll use any of your suggestions as long as they follow the basic storyline. P.S. In the story, Persephone doesn't exist, because if she did, then Henry would be a bad person.
Read my quick play? and criticise?
Here it is. It's supposed to be a "one-act play". Is it long enough? Please tell me any mistakes you see (with grammar or anything) and tell me if you found it interesting and how I can make it better) [The scene begins in a dark and empty bus station on New Year’s Eve. Florence is sitting on a bus bench. Amy walks in and takes a seat on the same bench as Florence. Florence’s cellphone starts to ring.] Florence (clearing his throat): “Hello... Yes I am…Oh you have got to be kidding…Ok…Please call me back as soon as possible.” Amy (fidgeting with cell phone and whispering under her breath): “This cannot be happening right now.” Florence (reluctantly to Amy): “Hey, do you know when the next bus to come here is?” Amy: “There’s supposed to be one at eleven. Hey, do you know what time it is? My phone ran out of battery.” Florence: “Sure, yeah it is – oh god—it’s ten minutes to twelve. Oh god, oh no, are there any more busses?” Amy: ”Darn, I’m not sure, I doubt it. It’s almost midnight and it’s New Year’s Eve. Would you mind if I used your cell to call someone?” Florence: “Sure, here you go” Amy (worried): “Oh no, I don’t know the number, it was saved on my cell.” Florence: “Who are you trying to reach?” Amy: “I need to call a hospital as soon as I can.” Florence: “Did something happen to you?” Amy(worried): “No, it’s my brother, he was in an accident and I really need to know how he is. But it looks like there is no bus coming and its New Year’s Eve and I won’t even be able to go see him tonight.” Florence: “Well, what hospital are you trying to reach?” Amy: “It’s called Saint Luke’s” Florence (shocked):”What? Are you serious?! What is your last name?” Amy(confused): “Why should I tell you that?” Florence: “My brother is in a hospital called Saint Luke’s as well! And if your last name is Roberts than your brother caused my brother to go into a coma!” Amy(shocked):”What!?” Florence: “And I’ll tell you something else, since you’re so worried, your stupid brother is absolutely fine because he was the one driving drunk! And something else--” Amy: “Hold on a second! Don’t call my brother stupid! I can almost guarantee your brother was probably drunk as well! I mean it is New Year’s Eve for God’s sake!” Florence: “Well he wasn’t! He doesn’t ever drink! I can’t believe this!” Amy: “Oh my God, you’re acting like this is my fault. I didn’t cause the accident!” Florence: “No, but your brother did.” Amy: “It was an accident! An accident! It wasn’t done on purpose!” Florence:” God, you’re right. I’m sorry. [A long pause.] It’s not your fault, I know.” Amy: ”Yeah, whatever. You can’t just attack people like that.” Florence: “It’s just that my brother is in pretty bad shape.” Amy: ”It’s not like a person can walk out of an accident like that without any problems at all, my brother is having some problems as well. ” Florence:” Well, if it helps, they told me that the other person—well, your brother—just has some scrapes and bruises.” Amy: ”And a broken leg.” Florence: ”Okay, I want to apologize again. Maybe we should go look for a Taxi.” Amy: “No one is going to spend their New Year’s Eve driving some strangers for two hours.” Florence (catching a glimpse of his phone): “Well, it’s twelve. Happy New Year.” Amy: “Yeah…it’s starting off very happy.” [Curtains close]
Where was Julius Caesar murdered? Is there a spot in Rome which is the place?

I added some elemaps to the Elemaps folder, but not all of them are showing up. And i made sure they were elemaps by checking the size and what they looked like. Is there a limit for how many you can add?
