As a young dog, he even once eat a sock ... it came out one day, with the help of my grandfather.

I wouldn't want to eat socks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

I hope that your dog was a big one and that the socks were small summer socks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Last summer, a neighbourg's english setter ate nylon tights. It came out too a few days later but the owner took no chance and relied on the vet to "help" it. How a dog can do to swallow such things is quite a mistery to me... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Our task is to over the summer holiday write a book from either the romantic period or the realistic period. Any book at all. And the work isn't about the books, it's about the era. What is typical for the romantic/realistic period?

In romantic litterature (at least for the French movement), the most typical characteristics are the liberation of "I" (individuality & emotions), the "nature feeling" (they give a great importance to nature in their texts and often relate natural elements to emotions or ideas) and a proclivity to gloom.
I had a big part of a litterature course on the French romantic period last year; I don't know if it's because of the works chosen or if it's really that the romantic period don't fit my tastes, but it's been one of the courses that I had the most difficulty to get motivated to work at... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />

@Lucreatia
I like your attitude towards all that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Good news: The weather is so lovely today that I'll allow myself the luxury to take my afternoon off and go to spend it outside. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> The last weeks were extreme so the girl'll take the good time as it passes. No bad news yet for me today. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
