the Darling is witten by Anton Chekhov
Answer:
Answer by Mit
From www.enotes.com:
Critics have interpreted the tone of the story as an indication that Chekhov was lampooning the limited role of women in nineteenth-century Russian society as nothing more than an appendage to men, with no thoughts or opinions of their own. Soon after the publication of ‘‘The Darling,’’ however, contemporary writer Tolstoy made the argument that while Chekhov set out to ‘‘sacrifice’’ the character of Olga as a typically vapid woman, he inadvertently blesses her in her ultimate role as mother.
Question: Is there ANY way I can download the old “Science Fiction” theme from Microsoft?
I think I had this Science Fiction theme when I had Windows 98. The screen saver was very bizarre. It had 3 (or 4?) of these weird flying things that absorbed into each other. The background was sort of a reddish, orangey planet landscape. Does ANYone remember this? And if so, how can I get it again? I now have Windows XP home. I thank you in advance!

Answer by John Mahowald
It seems to be a part of Microsoft Plus! for Windows 98.
I doubt you will find this at retail, so might start looking on eBay or other auctions. Or find somebody giving it away, Windows 98 was a while ago.
You might find it available for download somewhere as abandonware, which assumes that Microsoft has no further interest in the old software. I’m not sure of the legality of this though.

Dreams are a part of life and they come straight from the heart. In fact, dreams eventually become our goals. If you work hard enough, you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. This was Jenny’s philosophy.
When reading historical fiction, the reader feels transported to another time and place. You can go on an adventure, learn about history, feel intrigued by courageous men and women, or fall in love all over again. “Jenny’s Dream” (ISBN 9781589824461) is one such novel, where dreams can come true. Melynda Gascoyne of The Amherst Bee Newspaper: Buffalo, New York wrote: “Clarke draws the reader into a world full of color and intrigue right from the first page.”
Jenny Roberts has many dreams, but will she be able to fulfill them? Jenny is home from college and is restless. She feels the need to spread her wings and fly away. She has dreams of becoming a writer and wants to pursue it. When her kindred friend, Will, asks her what her outlook on life is, she answers, “Dreams are an important part of life, and without them, life would be so dull. If we can envision it, then I believe it can be accomplished.”
Jenny’s dreams also include falling in love. She feels that one day she will find a man to love, the “prince of her dreams.” But is it possible to find love in one’s own backyard? As the summer passes, Jenny begins to recognize her true feelings for Will. When she realizes that he means more to her than a kindred friend, she must now choose between a career and romance. The only thing standing in her way is an unpleasant memory from her past, which has haunted her since childhood. She must learn to forgive before she can choose which dream to follow. This book is about the miracle of forgiveness.
Betsy Brannon Green, Best-Selling Mystery Author, wrote: “Clarke’s characters are well developed and her setting is compelling. But what separates this book from others is Clarke’s historical accuracy and meticulous attention to detail. The reader feels transported to another time and place.”
While Jenny is trying to realize her dreams, her father is concerned about the safety of his family. A ten-foot grizzly bear is seen in the area and its boldness has frightened the community. There is one man with the courage and determination to protect his family and neighbors: Gilbert Roberts! He attempts to defy this great beast but Melinda will not have her husband be part of it. Gilbert has other ideas. Old Half Paw must be stopped. “Jenny’s Dream” is the story of a young girl’s desire to become a writer and how she finds love and forgiveness, with the legend of Old Ephraim as the subplot.
Paige Lovitt, Reader Views, wrote: “Jenny’s Dream tells a beautiful story that incorporates the value of loyalty, love, family and forgiveness into it. I found myself greatly enjoying the romances between Jenny’s parents and between Jenny and Will. Each relationship demonstrates friendship, respect and love. I also enjoyed how the author put real experiences, taken from her family, into the plot. This is a great touch because it makes the story seem real. Jenny’s Dream is a wonderful story. It is a wholesome novel that will be enjoyed by family members of all ages. I think this series is destined to be a classic.”

Let us define fiction theme element as the “why” of your novel. Why are you telling this story? Theme is a concept that structures your story. There are three areas that will lend further definition to your theme: a personal dilemma, an event you witnessed, and your frustration with the way of things. There are other ways to further define fiction theme element, but either one of the three sources mentioned here are a good starting point.
Personal Dilemma. Personal predicaments define fiction theme element through your own crisis. In this case, you will subtly weave your message through the story based on your perspective. Let your characters’ actions, dialogue, thoughts, and ways of life weave your theme for you.
Event You Witnessed. Events you saw, heard, or otherwise experienced define fiction theme element through that experience. Again, your message will come naturally from the actions, dialogue, thoughts, and ways of life of the characters you create for your story.
Frustration with Social Situation. Your personal frustrations at a social injustice (or other situation) define fiction theme element through your reaction, opinion, and proposed solution to the problem. Do any of your characters represent the solution?
It is not difficult to define fiction theme element – it is difficult to convey it properly. However, as you carefully develop a theme within your story, your literary agent will understand why you wrote the story in the first place. More importantly, when you dig deep and further define fiction theme element prior to writing, your readers will appreciate uncovering the point of your story.
