What is the relationship like between Prospero, Caliban and Miranda in Act 1 scene 2 of ‘The Tempest’?
Filed in The Category Relationships
I would like to know what the relationship between Prospero, Caliban and Miranda in Act 1 scene 2 of ‘The Tempest’. Since its in the language of shakespeare I don’t really understand what the relationship is like between all three of them, any help please?? 
Answer by Foxy John
Fascinating question and one that goes to the heart of The Tempest, quite possibly Shakespeare’s greatest of plays! In this scene Shakespeare maps out the course of the entire play. Prospero, the cheated Nobel man seeking restoration of his land and title. A Man who has learned and acquired great power in his enforced exile. His daughter, Miranda a beautiful and innocent virgin whom Prospero will do anything to protect and who has, until this scene, been kept in innocence of their circumstances and how they came to be on the Island. Caliban, enslaved by Prospero and threatened with pain and agony unless he does as Prospero instructs. But Caliban, pitiable as he is is not innocent himself and has attempted to rape Miranda (in order to create an army of Calibans to overthrow Prospero) and would have succeeded but for the intervention of Prospero. So the relationship between the three of them is dominated by the power of Prospero who seeks the protection of his daughter at all costs, control of the elements and of Caliban whom he will seek to dominate. Miranda, an innocent who knows nothing of the World except obedience to her Father, so a dutiful, naive and innocent woman. Caliban, tortured by his own life, his loneliness and his inability to confront the power of his oppressor, Prospero. So Caliban, part desperate creature, part good, part nature but also capable of violence and aggression. Prospero rules the sensibilities of them all (and of Ariel who also appears in this scene and we learn that Prospero has cheated of his freedom) and dominates the scene with both protective and bullying ferocity. His daughter, Miranda, will not stand against him and has no desire to: Caliban can not stand against him, much as he would want to. So overall a set of relationships dominated by Prospero, his power, his desire for survival and retribution and his wish to protect his daughter, in this hostile environment, at all costs.

How long will a rose (for Valentine’s Day) last without water?
Filed in The Category Valentines Day
I sent one to this guy anonymously (our school organizes it) to be received during class but he wasn’t at school yesterday (Monday – Valentine’s Day) or today. I don’t know if the school would keep it in water until he comes back to school. A girl received hers today because she was absent on Monday and the rose looked a little bit droopy.
How long would a single red rose last without water?
I don’t want it to be black by the time he gets it!! 
Answer by jean n tha front row
if the rose hasn’t been in any water, it’s not going to last, they die pretty quick.

Make little ghosts out of paper towels and string ( around the neck of the ghost). Use M& M’s or raisins for the eyes. Then let her hang these in the bushes or in the trees.

Tips for a 10 year old black labrador on steroids?
Filed in The Category Money Tips
My dog Milly is currently on steroids for her skin allergies and as much as they help her itching and scratching, she is constantly hungry. I’m aware that this is a side affect but she is driving us all mad, in the nicest possible way, and we would like to help her. If anyone has any tips for how to keep her occupied, feel fuller for longer or the best food to give her, then please could you let me know. Thankyou!
Just to make things a little more clearer and to help you when giving me advice. Milly is allergic to grass, dust mites and pine which is why she has skin allergies. Thank you for the recent answers, they are very helpful.
Answer by Raw Rescue Pups
I’m a huge believer in the raw diet, which is great for a dog with allergies. It’s easy and cheap for you, too, once you get the hang of it.
You can give her large raw meaty bones, either as meals or treats, and they’ll keep her busy *forever.*
Answer by Lizzie
Give her something else. a carrot, a big bone, some fruit… There are dog treats that take a while to chew up and eat.. Serve her food in dog puzzle toys. Give her more, small meals per day, not more food. Take her out for long walks to sniff. Ask your vet for other ideas.
Answer by FidosCityGuide
What is she currently eating? Have you tried changing the diet to help with the skin issues? Have you tried adding fish oil to her diet to help with dry skin? Rather than put on steroids, may try finding the cause of the allergies.

My parents have been together for 25 years and they’re losing the spark in the relationship.
They just feel like they’re “not a couple anymore”
What can they do to keep the relationship going strong?
Answer by Merry
Your Mum and Dad need to have a weekend to themselves (or more then a weekend if possible)- totally kid free! Every marriage goes thru its ups and downs particularly after 20+ years things can become ‘dull’ – they need to put a bit of romance back into things – remember what it was like to ‘go out on a date’!! HOW you know all this about there relationship is another thing all together – be careful you don’t become too involved, this is something they need to work out!

Filed in The Category School Tips
I have an american girlfriend and want to go live with her but dont know where to start. I would like to be able to move out there for good but dont know which way is the best to go about it. I just cant be bothered going out there every couple of months or her coming here i want it to be permanent she cant come here because of her kids and the shit weather so any tips on visas or schools or anything like that would be perfect.
Answer by john c
the easiest way is to move to mexico and just come on in.
Answer by musicblue99
The very best way to come here is marry a US citizen
The 2nd best way to come here is to get a job with an American company. Apply to them in whatever field you are in. They will help with the visa and paperwork and make it easy. American companies like EU/Asian workers. We have many at my place.
Answer by thalog482
Well if you end up marrying her, it’s actually quite instant to become a citizen. Until then come in on a resident visa while you are going through citizenship processes.

Does she get to invite three of her friends to your birthday party too?
Answer by sillycanuckpei
I took my little sisters and their friends to the McDonald’s indoor playground and let them run around! It was simple and fun for them (since they’re toddlers) and you could easily supervise with your friends and have fun doing it!
Answer by LC
You could have a small dress-up party with a theme that she likes and have her be the star. You could use favors and colors of the same theme and even act out parts or your theme and come up with games that have to do with it.
