Help me with my story please! :(?

Q. I need to add more dialogue and make it less an outline but i dont know how :( please help me. Can you maybe edit a section with dialogue and show me?
Is it a good story at lease?

Russians send up a space shuttle with astronauts into space and they are not seen or heard from again.
A year later, the United States send up one of their own space shuttles with five American astronauts; three men, a women and a monkey. They are going to a newly discovered planet called planet W that is believed to support life.
While they are up in space, a tiny asteroid moving very fast punctures their return fuel tank. The puncture doesnât show up on their computers.
They arrive at planet W. The planet environment looks like a desert because of all the grey cactus plants but no sign of water or alien life. In their space suits, monkey included, they collect rocks and samples of the cactus then return to the ship. They try to fly back but the fuel tanks are empty. They try to contact Earth and tell them they have no fuel but since they are so far away it takes up to two weeks for the message to get there and another two weeks to get back to them.
They live off their food for a couple days in the space shuttle. To test if the air is toxic, Edgar pushes Arthurâs monkey out of the ship. They wait and the monkey doesnât die. Arthur opens the door and lets the monkey back in. He puts him on his shoulder and on at a time, they leave the shuttle and decide to go explore the planet. When they come back, they see the shuttle is tipped over and torn apart. They pull open the door and grab the radio.
All of a sudden, the ground starts shaking and they think itâs an earthquake. The ground splits open and a worm like alien jumps up out of the ground like a dolphin. They run out of the space ship and see a giant bird swoop down and pick up the worm then fly away. They wander through the desert and see a dark line in the distance. It is a green river filled with sparkles. When they get to the river, they try to cross it but the river carries them down and drops them off a waterfall. When they emerge, they see the grey of the planet is gone, and replaced with a jungle of bright colors. The trees are purple dangling fruit beneath them, rocks are yellow and little fireflies glow all around them.
They get out and start picking fruit off the trees. They donât know if the food is poisonous and when Arthur isnât looking, they feed it to the monkey. Once again, the monkey doesnât die and they feast on fruit.
They build a shelter and drink water from the waterfall. In the middle of the night, they hear the monkey scream outside of camp. Arthur darts out of the tent and hears something rustling and turns to see a flash of a tail disappear into the bushes. He runs back into the tent crying.
âSomething took my monkey. It is dark outside and there was something in the bushes. We have to get him back.â He gets up and points to were he saw the tail.
âYou baby, Iâm sure he just got off his leash and it was the monkeyâs tail you saw.â Brooke says. She marches into the jungle after it and trips. She screams and Edgar and Joe run out to help her. Arthur is left alone in the tent.
Edgar and Joe see Brooke and she is okay. The four of them return to the tent and see Arthur lying on the ground.
âStand back,â Edgar says. He leans over and sees two holes in his neck. âHis neck has been bitten and drained of blood.â
The group of three had been paying so much attention to Arthur that they hadnât noticed they werenât the only ones around. Brooke is the first to look up and sees a fluffy animal, no bigger than a small puppy with two feet and four arms. She walks closer to it.
âItâs so cute,â she says.
All of a sudden it growls and reveals needle like teeth dripping with blood. They look around and see hundreds of these creatures circling their camp. Joe runs at them and starts kicking them like soccer balls.
Brooke joins and picks up a stick and starts swings. They kill them all. Morning comes and they see monkey footprints. They follow it, through the jungle. While they are walking they hear the radio they have from their space shuttle start crackling.
âHello, hello is any one there?â Joe says into the radio. More static. He holds the radio higher in the sky to try to get a signal. They keep walking and see a spaceship.
âWere do you think this came from? Brooke asks.
They go inside and look around. Things were thrown about like confetti. They rummage through looking for signs of were the space shuttle came from.
An alien pops its head in the door, mutters something then darts back out. They look at each other then out the window. They are surrounded by red alien kangaroos glaring in their direction. These were much larger than the furry aliens they had kicked about earlier.
Brooke starts crying. âI donât think we are going to get out of this,


Answer
A very well written story, great plot, and nice use of grammar; though it could use a bit more details in some places. But other than that, it's a good story, better than most I've read. As for the dialogue, they should sound a bit more tense considering their monkey's missing and one of the them just got murdered--the way you've written it, you make them sound like the death of Arthur didn't matter to them. Please keep up the good work, your story was an interesting read. ^^

I asked this question before, but there weren't any good answers...?

Q. The question: what's this WWII movie called?

Description:
It showed black-and-white footage of Jesse Owens in the Olympics (not to mention Hitler's angry look. he was totally ticked off -- haha). Anyway, the movie was in Russian, but it could be in English.
It's about this French Jew (who wears a beret) who's a good boxer. In the beginning, during a wrestling match, he accidentally pours a bucket of water on a fashionable lady instead of the exhausted boxer. Later on, he goes to a library called Rosenthal (the movie takes place in Germany, I think) and when he tries to leave, the Nazi police try to stop him but he beats them up. Two Nazis were punched out of the window while some were hit with violins, etc. He then runs into the street, changes into gym clothes, and takes the torch from the Olympic winner and runs with it. The Jewish man later flies a parachute, has encounters with a bear (who crawls into their tent while camping at night), and drives an old-fashioned 1940s white car down the road while being chased by motorcycle policemen (Nazis, I presume). The very end has Hitler attending a German farm party or something, idk, but he gets driven into the river with ducks or geese or something.
Thing is, I remember I saw this movie when I was a kid, but now I don't remember. It was really funny though.
No it isn't.

How many Government Officials attend the Bohemian Club.?

best tent camping russian river on New Coghlans Tent Pegs 9 Inch-6 Ct Durable Polypropylene Rugged Design ...
best tent camping russian river image
Q.


Answer
All of the former Presidents and many high officials (as stated in Answer #1) have been invited to join The Bohemian Club as Honorary Members, thereby not having to wait the requisite 20 or 25 year 'waiting period' after a 'regular' person has to wait, which includes being nominated by a present member for initiation. One of the reasons for the waiting period is to 'follow' the nominee/applicant's life, making sure that that person has no scandals or other distasteful character flaws which would bring dishonor to The Club. And it will occasionally happen that a member is booted because of a scandal after being initiated, but it is rare.

Originally started as a club populated by writers and artists, the membership roles have expanded to include people of all backgrounds, but one of their commonalities is money: there is a very steep (= $$$) Initiation Fee, as well as ongoing annual fees and User Fees, such as when members and their invited guests attend the Summer Weekend and other events, both at The Grove as well as at The Club in downtown San Francisco.

The Grove itself is a stunningly beautiful large acreage of old-growth redwood trees sited along the Russian River near Guerneville, north of San Francisco. The members have organized themselves into sub-groups called Camps; each Camp is made up of a series of buildings and/or tents. Most of the camps have a building housing a kitchen and bar, as well as buildings (or tents) for sleeping. many of the camps have deck areas where members (and their guests) meet for discussions, cocktails, general schmoozing and meals. Members of a Camp pay for the maintenance, repair, upkeep and any additions to their particular camp, but they are not allowed to do the work themselves. There is an on-site crew which performs all of those functions, and it ain't cheap. I know of one Camp that wanted to expand their deck; what had been, say, a 20' by 20' deck was about tripled in size... for $100,000 .. and all wood used is redwood, harvested from fallen trees on The Property.

The summer weekend fee includes a prepaid breakfast and dinner; members can either reserve a table for lunch, but many Camps have lunches on their deck. There's a LOT of alcohol (usually) and cigar-smoking going on. But some of the salient features of time spent at The Grove includes the prohibition of cell phones, cameras, video recorders, amplified music and NO business talk (although that would be hard to prove that it doesn't take place). There are some pay phones on the grounds for members to use and they are often quite busy.

A few more odd features: women are NOT allowed on the grounds except for waitresses (and only because of a lawsuit), and female guests on Family Day ... no female is allowed to spend the night in The Grove. However, there is rumored to be an active 'liaison' scenario called 'going across the bridge' or 'going to town' in which some male members leave The Grove at night to enjoy some female companionship with eager local women ... but *cough* that's just a rumor ...

One thing that's NOT a rumor is odd, but understandable given the grown-up-boy mentality is this: because women are not allowed, when members feel the need to pee and they're not near a bathroom, it is normal and accepted practice to 'whip it out' and pee against any of the many giant redwoods; after a meal, it is not unusual to see anywhere from one to a dozen men standing at the base of a redwood, whizzing away. Ah, boys and their 'toys.'

I've been to The Grove and I must say that it's beautiful. I can only imagine that local developers have been drooling for years over being able to get their hands on that property. But with the financial heavyweights who are members, the chances of The Bo's leaving or selling that property are nil.

Any good campgrounds in the bay area of California?




Christina


We live in Discovery Bay, on the delta. But we're planning a camping trip for the 18th of this month and are having trouble deciding where to go camping, It is going to be a small family group of about 6 people and a 2 yr old :D My husband and I have only gone camping a lake berryessa and the guerneville national forest near the russian river in Jenner....

Any great ideas for places nearby that are foresty and/or near the coast? Id say inbetween SF and no higher north than Jenner. We are hoping to find a place with a lake or near the coast. With some trails, showers & toilets, and where you can have a campfire...I know there are probably alot of restrictions with fire season and all. But if at all posible we'd like to be able to intruduce a few first time campers to good ol campfire stories and s'mores!

Help!

Thanks:D



Answer
The 2 above answers are great suggestions. Samuel P Taylor has lots of trees, great bicycle and hiking paths and a babbling brook. It really is a nice campground. The other is Doran Beach and I go there often. They have tent sites separate from RV sites or if you have a RV and tents, that's fine too. Nice bathrooms, showers and fire pits right on the beach. West side is also great, but is set up for people with boats. You can camp there is you do not have a boat, it's just that boaters use it a lot. You can book it on line or they also have first come, first serve sites too, but on weekends these fill up early. Call Sonoma county parks at 707-565-2041. For SPTaylor call 415-488-9897

Need help with places to see in Soldatna, Alaska?

best tent camping russian river on Camping Northern California | Russian River Campsites | Schoolhouse ...
best tent camping russian river image
Q. I'm planning a trip to Soldatna and was wondering where the closest (and best) place is to see land wildlife as well as the best place to see glaciers/aqua wildlife. Is there some sort of national park or guided tour in Soldatna? Thanks.


Answer
The best wildlife viewing is by flight seeing, and there are plenty of them in that area. Soldotna is a community that is a junction city. It is where you decide to go either to Kenai, or on to Homer.

Kenai is a coastal community and the mouth of the Kenai River, a world class salmon fishery; and where there are salmon there are bears.

Kenai is also home to a small caribou herd that roams the tidal flats. It is an old Russian fishing village dating back to the early exploration of Alaska.

The Kenai, and Russian Rivers are world class for salmon fishing. This is where we catch the 60 and 70 pound King Salmon!

Homer is a "quaint drinking village with a fishing problem" (this from a local bumper sticker). Halibut is the mission in Homer. These are the big ones over 200 lbs. The Homer Halibut Derby draws people from across the globe to participate.

The Homer Spit is a feature that is simply great. You can tent camp on the beach or, park your RV in any number of RV areas, both private and city sponsored. Hotel space is generally readily available as well especially at land's End.

Seward is home to many sightseeing venues as well. The Kenai Fjords National Park, just outside of Seward, is gorgeous! Whale watching is very popular here. Lots of tour boats to show you the way.

There are so many things to see in this part of Alaska. Spend some time on the listed web sites to help plan ahead. One thing to take advantage is is the Great Alaska Tour Saver; lots of coupons for two for ones in this.

Have a great visit to the Greatland!

Best places to Camp In Northern CA, Planning a trip soon!?




Michael


Hey! What are some of the best lakeside RV (full hook up) Campsites in Nor Cal? I have tried researching, but I'd prefer peoples experiences. Also, it would be great if it had jet ski rentals and lots of amenities near by. I'm planning a trip this coming July and need to get it coordinated soon. Your answer is highly appreciated.


Answer
I don't have direct RV experience. However, I suggest that you try Lake Sonoma & Warm Springs Dam area for both jet ski rentals & RV hookup camping. This would be in the Geyserville & Cloverdale areas.

The sites I saw included comments, both positive & negative from campers, including the risk from ticks. (If you get a tick, save it in a jar with lid when you remove it for further testing. It is a risk in Northern California. Also, you might try taking a salt water bath & inspect for ticks carefully each night. I doubt that one area is any other when it comes to ticks. Besides, you can get them out camping or you may get them just as easily from your own backyard, depending on where you live or if you have animals bringing them in. When camping or hiking, though, use some caution regarding ticks & snakes when it comes to sitting on a rock or a log.

You might also try the Clear Lake area in Lake County. However, you'll have considerably more windy roads getting there, while the Lake Sonoma area might be closer to the freeway. One campground near the freeway was given as easy for quick trips into town for supplies while having little awareness of the freeway while camping.

There are other camping areas in Sonoma County, such as at the ocean, in the redwoods, such as near Armstrong Redwoods State Park, both in the park & just outside the park (privately owned), & Austin Creek area, all near the Russian River. You may also want to ask around to find someone who's savvy about directing you to secret locations for wild blackberries around side roads & creeks. While it would give you a very rural feel to it, with plenty of beautiful plants in the undergrowth, I'm doubtful that they have the full RV hookup, though you might make inquiries at the private campgrounds outside the park itself. My visiting relatives liked the lower rates at one while they were camping with their tent trailer, as compared to inside the state park.

However, I first gave Lake Sonoma due to your desire for full RV hookup & for jet ski rentals. The main drawback, though, is that you'll be in a much hotter area near Cloverdale & Geyserville than in the Russian River & the coastal areas, where you'll receive the evening cool downs from nature's air conditioning coming from the coast. Also, you may love the beautiful canopy from the redwoods near the Russian River. Just don't expect it to be the boating or lake experience that you're wanting. Boating on the Russian River is more oriented toward canoes.

If you want a variety of things to do beyond lakeside & camping, you may prefer Sonoma County to Lake County, which may have fewer things to do besides on the lake. I would associate it with the more rural & isolated experience, although you could drive into Calistoga for hot springs, spas, fine dining, & charm.

How many Government Officials attend the Bohemian Club.?

best tent camping russian river on Best waterfront campgrounds and RV parks in the U.S. - CampingRoadTrip ...
best tent camping russian river image
Q.


Answer
All of the former Presidents and many high officials (as stated in Answer #1) have been invited to join The Bohemian Club as Honorary Members, thereby not having to wait the requisite 20 or 25 year 'waiting period' after a 'regular' person has to wait, which includes being nominated by a present member for initiation. One of the reasons for the waiting period is to 'follow' the nominee/applicant's life, making sure that that person has no scandals or other distasteful character flaws which would bring dishonor to The Club. And it will occasionally happen that a member is booted because of a scandal after being initiated, but it is rare.

Originally started as a club populated by writers and artists, the membership roles have expanded to include people of all backgrounds, but one of their commonalities is money: there is a very steep (= $$$) Initiation Fee, as well as ongoing annual fees and User Fees, such as when members and their invited guests attend the Summer Weekend and other events, both at The Grove as well as at The Club in downtown San Francisco.

The Grove itself is a stunningly beautiful large acreage of old-growth redwood trees sited along the Russian River near Guerneville, north of San Francisco. The members have organized themselves into sub-groups called Camps; each Camp is made up of a series of buildings and/or tents. Most of the camps have a building housing a kitchen and bar, as well as buildings (or tents) for sleeping. many of the camps have deck areas where members (and their guests) meet for discussions, cocktails, general schmoozing and meals. Members of a Camp pay for the maintenance, repair, upkeep and any additions to their particular camp, but they are not allowed to do the work themselves. There is an on-site crew which performs all of those functions, and it ain't cheap. I know of one Camp that wanted to expand their deck; what had been, say, a 20' by 20' deck was about tripled in size... for $100,000 .. and all wood used is redwood, harvested from fallen trees on The Property.

The summer weekend fee includes a prepaid breakfast and dinner; members can either reserve a table for lunch, but many Camps have lunches on their deck. There's a LOT of alcohol (usually) and cigar-smoking going on. But some of the salient features of time spent at The Grove includes the prohibition of cell phones, cameras, video recorders, amplified music and NO business talk (although that would be hard to prove that it doesn't take place). There are some pay phones on the grounds for members to use and they are often quite busy.

A few more odd features: women are NOT allowed on the grounds except for waitresses (and only because of a lawsuit), and female guests on Family Day ... no female is allowed to spend the night in The Grove. However, there is rumored to be an active 'liaison' scenario called 'going across the bridge' or 'going to town' in which some male members leave The Grove at night to enjoy some female companionship with eager local women ... but *cough* that's just a rumor ...

One thing that's NOT a rumor is odd, but understandable given the grown-up-boy mentality is this: because women are not allowed, when members feel the need to pee and they're not near a bathroom, it is normal and accepted practice to 'whip it out' and pee against any of the many giant redwoods; after a meal, it is not unusual to see anywhere from one to a dozen men standing at the base of a redwood, whizzing away. Ah, boys and their 'toys.'

I've been to The Grove and I must say that it's beautiful. I can only imagine that local developers have been drooling for years over being able to get their hands on that property. But with the financial heavyweights who are members, the chances of The Bo's leaving or selling that property are nil.

Any good campgrounds in the bay area of California?




Christina


We live in Discovery Bay, on the delta. But we're planning a camping trip for the 18th of this month and are having trouble deciding where to go camping, It is going to be a small family group of about 6 people and a 2 yr old :D My husband and I have only gone camping a lake berryessa and the guerneville national forest near the russian river in Jenner....

Any great ideas for places nearby that are foresty and/or near the coast? Id say inbetween SF and no higher north than Jenner. We are hoping to find a place with a lake or near the coast. With some trails, showers & toilets, and where you can have a campfire...I know there are probably alot of restrictions with fire season and all. But if at all posible we'd like to be able to intruduce a few first time campers to good ol campfire stories and s'mores!

Help!

Thanks:D



Answer
The 2 above answers are great suggestions. Samuel P Taylor has lots of trees, great bicycle and hiking paths and a babbling brook. It really is a nice campground. The other is Doran Beach and I go there often. They have tent sites separate from RV sites or if you have a RV and tents, that's fine too. Nice bathrooms, showers and fire pits right on the beach. West side is also great, but is set up for people with boats. You can camp there is you do not have a boat, it's just that boaters use it a lot. You can book it on line or they also have first come, first serve sites too, but on weekends these fill up early. Call Sonoma county parks at 707-565-2041. For SPTaylor call 415-488-9897

Best places to Camp In Northern CA, Planning a trip soon!?

best tent camping russian river on Portable, Disposable, Go-Anywhere Toilet Design - The Wastetime Post
best tent camping russian river image



Michael


Hey! What are some of the best lakeside RV (full hook up) Campsites in Nor Cal? I have tried researching, but I'd prefer peoples experiences. Also, it would be great if it had jet ski rentals and lots of amenities near by. I'm planning a trip this coming July and need to get it coordinated soon. Your answer is highly appreciated.


Answer
I don't have direct RV experience. However, I suggest that you try Lake Sonoma & Warm Springs Dam area for both jet ski rentals & RV hookup camping. This would be in the Geyserville & Cloverdale areas.

The sites I saw included comments, both positive & negative from campers, including the risk from ticks. (If you get a tick, save it in a jar with lid when you remove it for further testing. It is a risk in Northern California. Also, you might try taking a salt water bath & inspect for ticks carefully each night. I doubt that one area is any other when it comes to ticks. Besides, you can get them out camping or you may get them just as easily from your own backyard, depending on where you live or if you have animals bringing them in. When camping or hiking, though, use some caution regarding ticks & snakes when it comes to sitting on a rock or a log.

You might also try the Clear Lake area in Lake County. However, you'll have considerably more windy roads getting there, while the Lake Sonoma area might be closer to the freeway. One campground near the freeway was given as easy for quick trips into town for supplies while having little awareness of the freeway while camping.
