It would help to know the topic, what you're trying to accomplish, what it is you are arguing or presenting, what you already have, how long it needs to be, what the length of the assignment is, etc.

I don't even know where to begin to reply to this.

I have e-mailed you Mr. Dark. Would you be so kind to give it a look and contact me? Thank you.

I'm heading out the door now and won't be home until late (going to the Ringo Starr concert with my daugher!).

I will try to take a look at it tomorrow, but am working on some other projects in the am, so I can't say how much time I can give then.

I will definitely look, though.

If you'll present some of the info on the board, others may be able to help. There are lots of smarter, better-read people out here!

My email to you (I just sent it):

"Post to Nard Kordell on the RB site. He has a web page (I dont' remember the url) that has several pictures of Bradbury. On other parts of this website there may be some pictures you could use.

Most of my work on Bradbury has been textual, so I don't have a lot of graphics. I'll email some of what I do have.

He loves space and Halloween, so you may be able to get some generic photos related to that (NASA web site, Hubble telescope web site, ISS website, etc) and use those in your presentation just to juice it up.

If you do a google on his name, you should come up with some sites that have pictures of him signing autographs. If you go to Amazon.com, you may be able to select and copy some book cover images.

Hope some of this helps. I'll email a couple, then I'm out the door.

Mr. Dark"

I've emailed you a picture of his house (sorry, no addresses given out from me), and about four images of Ray himself. I hope this helps.

P.S. This supplants my help tomorrow. :-)

P.P.S. This is my version of time travel. I have pulled your time from tomorrow and moved it to today!

It should be easy to find some pictures of Mars right now, and that would be a nice tie-in to Ray. You could show pictures of the planet while talking about The Martian Chronicles or his other Martian stories or his love of space. Also, if Nard lets you, I'd definitely use his great picture of the ravine, which plays such a key role in several of Ray's stories. Hope you get an A!!

(click on, or type into finder) my website ...

which is: http://www.catchaway.com

... and then click on:
'Bradbury'.

There follows two (2) sets of pictures.

One dealing with trip to Green Town (Waukegan)...where you have to click on 'Tour' for that.... (NOTE: Working on it this weekend, so it won't be finished, up and running until 24th August, Sunday, by the afternoon)...

Another set to click on, titled..
'more of ray'...
...includes old and new pictures of Mr. Bradbury. (This one IS working NOW.)

Printout some or all of the pictures. Usually an overhead projector should work out fine...
