Write about an object that has a special meaning in your life. What does it symbolize to you? Do you think it has the
same meaning for other people? Why or why not?

an object that has a special meaning in my life is probably music, it's something that keeps me going everyday in this dangerous world, and it might have a same meaning to others because music is the most purist form of art out there and everyone can enjoy music.

Explanation:

The copy of Oliver Twist that I got for my 10th birthday holds a special meaning to me. My brother gave it to me, and he told me to pay attention to the lesson in the story. So it's kind of a guide to life for me. In the book, the title character experiences a series of challenges and unfortunate events. In spite of these troubles, he resists every attempt by others to corrupt him. This book reminds me that I shouldn’t let others change me, either. I should always do what I think is morally right.

I doubt many people would feel the same way about the book. They would simply appreciate it as a good piece of fiction.

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
