7 Gables vs Green Gables
The House of the Seven Gables is a novel written in 1851 by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne. It is a recognized classic of American literature.
*Anne of Green Gables is a book by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery published in 1908. It was written as fiction for readers of all ages, but in recent decades has been considered a children's book.
The House of the Seven Gable centers on a gloomy New England mansion, haunted from its foundation by fraudulent dealings, accusations of witchcraft, and sudden death. The current resident, the dignified but desperately poor Hepzibah Pyncheon, opens a shop in a side room to support her brother Clifford, who is about to leave prison after serving thirty years for murder. She refuses all assistance from her unpleasant wealthy cousin Judge Jaffrey Pyncheon. A distant, lively relative, the pretty young Phoebe, turns up and quickly becomes invaluable, charming customers and rousing Clifford from depression. A delicate romance grows between Phoebe and the mysterious lodger Holgrave, who is writing a history of the Pyncheon family.
*Anne of Green Gables is a young orphan girl who, similar to orphan Annie, is mistakenly taken in by a family who wanted a little boy. The book is set on Prince Edward Island and the majority of the tale center's on the girl schooling, her budding literary ambitions and her friendships

The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T. is a 1953 musical fantasy film. The film is best known for being the only feature film ever written by Dr. Seuss who was responsible for the story, screenplay, and lyrics.
The film tells the story of Bart Collins, who believes his hated piano lessons to be evil and, while hammering away at his lessons, the boy dozes off and enters a fantastical musical dream, similar to that in The Wizard of Oz.

What Was With that Poetry Question?!
John Keats (October 31, 1795 – February 23, 1821) was one of the principal poets of the English Romantic movement during the early nineteenth century. He is know for his elaborate word choice and sensual imagery.
By 1820, Keats was showing serious signs of tuberculosis, a disease which had plagued his family. He moved to the warmed climate of Italy and died there. Keats was buried in the Protestant Cemetery of Rome.
His last request was to be buried under a tombstone reading only, "Here lies One Whose Name was writ in Water." He did not want his name to appear at all. Despite this requests friend added the epitaph: "This Grave contains all that was mortal, of a young English poet, who on his Death Bed, in the Bitterness of his heart, at the Malicious Power of his enemies, desired these words to be Engraven on his Tomb Stone" along with the image of a lyre with broken strings.
For all you never wanted to know about Keats, see Wikipedia.

Question of the Week
(Lyrically Speaking) What person was the inspiration behind Paul McCartney’s song “Let It Be” ?
If It's In the News It Can Be On the Blog...
* Gu Gu, a beloved Giant Panda who lives at the Beijing Zoo, just bit his third visitor.
* His most recent victim was 28-year-old Zhang Jiao, who entered the panda pen to try and retrieve his son's toy on January 7th.
* Amazingly, when Gu Gu attacked and sunk his teeth into Zhang's left and right legs, the man did not fight back out of respect for the national treasure.
* Gu Gu first came to fame (or infamy) on September 19, 2006 when he bit an inebriated Chinese man who jumped into his enclosure and tried to hug him.
* Zhang Xinyan, 35, did retaliate by biting the panda on its back. However, he found he fur here was too thick for the bear to take notice.
* A second incident occurred on Tuesday October 23, 2007, when 15 year old Li Xitao jumped the barrier and climbed into the panda exercise area while Gu Gu and another bear were being fed.
* The bear was startled and bit the boy on both legs, ripping chunks from both of them.
* According to medical officials, Li was so viciously attacked that his bones were showing, and chunks of flesh were left behind in the ambulance.
* The attack was reported by witnesses to have lasted 3 to 4 minutes.
