I have been to sites like www.sparknotes.com, they have summaries to poems and short stories to help understand literature, but some of the ones i need are not on that site... does anyone know another site i can look for them?

Good luck! I hope you find something you like.\nI would also recommend "The Bear" by William Faulkner, but was unable to find it online.  It is a part of the novel "Go Down, Moses" but is often listed as a short story.

I'm really not sure, but you might want to look on sparknotes.com under study guides or ask on their message boards. Hope that helped.

Hmm, which poems are they, out of curiousity? Feel free to email them to me and I may be able to write you back their explanations. I have always enjoyed the study of poetry.\n\nOr, try searching Yahoo or Google for the poem titles and explanations - like "Death Be Not Proud explanation." Also, try out wikipedia.org. Many poems are listed on that encyclopedic site (along with many other things), and you should have no trouble finding the poems on there and their meanings.\n\nBest of luck to you. :)

There's probably several...so, can't help you there...however, if you remember a particular line from one of your poems, you can probably do a general search and find the exact website.  Like, say you go to Yahoo search, type in your line, it may show you where to go.  It probably wouldn't hurt to throw in your user name in the search either

Try sparknotes.com for a pretty good summary. Just don't read the summary instead of the book...read the summary, then read the corresponding chapter to get a better understanding. The best thing you can do is PAY ATTENTION in class and ask lots of questions of your teacher. He or she might not know you are having trouble understanding things. Also, try asking for after school help; most teachers, especially English teachers, are willing to do that to help you learn. I know that any time my students need extra help or support, all they have to do is ask! :~)

Well... You can look for the website yourself, really, but maybe you could put up the poem so ppl can read it and give you some commentary on it, might be easier.

I dont think its available for free online but I found this site if you dont mind some popups, it looks pretty good, Its chapter by chapter summaries. Hope this helps. If you want to pay I think its available, you would have to subscribe to a website to view it though. just do a search for the title and "Full Text"

Try spark notes as well as book rags and pink monkey for sites that MIGHT give you some quotes.  You can also try bartelby's online quotations.\n\nBTW:  Sounds like you didn't read the book, or you would have a general idea of where to go for the quotes.
