	life help: You want to hear my wish? - Help.com
		Fictionally, wishes can be used as plot devices, and in folklore, many things are believed to be chances to "make a wish."
		In fiction a wish is a supernatural demand placed on the recipient's unlimited request.
		When it is the center of a tale, the wish is usually a template for a morality tale, "be careful what you wish for" writ large; it can also be a small part of a tale, in which case it is often used as a plot device.

	david-baldacci.com :: wish you well (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Wish You Well is the story of Louisa Mae Cardinal, a precocious twelve-year-old girl living in the hectic New York City of 1940 with her acclaimed but sadly underpaid writer father, her compassionate mother, and her timid younger brother, Oz.
		Wish You Well is a breathtakingly beautiful achievement from an author who has the power to make us feel, to make us care, and to make us believe in the great and little miracles that can change lives - or save them.
		Baldacci's eloquent use of language in Wish You Well transforms readers to another time and place - a time when America's agrarian existence was beginning to transform into industrialization and a place where the land was the heart and soul of the community.

	Wish Me Luck by James Heneghan
		Despite the nightly air raids, the food rationing, and the gas masks he and his friends have to carry with them at all times, World War II has had little effect on life in Jamie's neighborhood.
		It is only when we come to the second and third movements of the story that the fictional elements take over, though even here I write about a terrible and real event - the torpedoing of a ship and the unnecessary deaths of 81 children.
		Wish Me Luck does bear comparison with some of the outstanding children's novels about the war and the evacuees, such as Kit Pearson's "The Sky is Falling" and Michelle Magourlan's "Goodnight, Mr.

	wish. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.
		Wish is widely used as a polite substitute for want with infinitives: Do you wish to sit at a table on the terrace?
		This usage is appropriate for formal style, where it is natural to treat the desires of others with exaggerated deference.
		The corresponding use of wish with a noun-phrase object is less frequent: Anyone who wishes an aisle seat should see an attendant.

	Wish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When it is the center of a tale, the wish is usually a template for a morality tale, "be careful what you wish for" writ large; it can also be a small part of a tale, in which case it is often used as a plot device.
		Snow White's mother's wish for a beautiful child might have been a coincidence, but the father's in The Seven Ravens and the mother's in The Raven transform their children into ravens.
		A common problem is either the granter of the wish being extremely literal or through malice granting the request in a manner designed to cause maximum distress (such as a request for wealth being granted through inheritance/insurance on the death of a loved one).

		The fanfic author craves attention and admiration from (in the heterosexual variety) the male characters of the host fiction; their 19th century counterparts must have wanted the attention and admiration of men, too.
		Their lot was to be ignored or taken lightly, and the emotional impact of a daydream in which the heroine is universally admired for her accomplishments must have been intense.
		There is some lesbian slash fiction, but it’s usually heterosexual women writing scenes between their favorite male characters.

	Fishnet: Fiction: Wish Girls
		The wish girls were the product of adolescent fantasies that hadn’t gone much beyond groping, blowjobs, and vague misconceptions about fucking, and they weren’t well equipped for some of the kinks he’d developed since then.
		Whatever the specific circumstances had been, Max had held the wishing object in his hand, or he’d buried it in the dirt, or he’d broken it open, and he’d made his wish, voicing one of the many elaborate fantasies he concocted in his narrow bed each night, and then Allison and Stephanie came to him.
		She was exactly what he’d wished for, and every night he spent with his wish girls was a night of incredibly sophisticated masturbation, and nothing more.

		Audio Fiction's music "crosses between Blondie, No Doubt and The Pretenders." But the lead singer is a natural brunette, and their aesthetic shines more like the bastard step-child of Blondie and Evanescence.
		Audio Fiction prefers a more metaphorical description: they offer you cotton candy, then kick you in the teeth, all while you're dancing.
		The band are hard at work in the studio working on their debut album to follow up on the success of their EP, and will tour Ireland in January, and the Northeast US after the release of their debut album in early 2006.

	Book reviews of Wish You Well by David Baldacci.
		In Wish You Well David Baldacci has written a tale laced with touching passages evoking the charms of rural Virginia, imbued with graceful humor, and enriched by with unforgettable characters.
		Wish You Well is a breathtakingly beautiful achievement from an author who has the power to make us feel, to make us care, and to make us believe in the great and little miracles that can change lives-or save them.
		Baldacci turns from political thrillers to historical fiction in this affecting novel whose richly textured setting of southwestern Virginia in the 1940s draws on the reminiscences of his mother and grandmother...Whether Baldacci's fans will enjoy this change of pace remains to be seen, but readers of historical fiction will welcome his debut in the genre.
