A Tale of Two Cities -- Charles Dickens\n\nIt is really a typical Soap Opera taking place during the French Revolution.  So much is going on and he brings in so many characters, that I am always amazed at how he was able to tie together all those loose ends and odd scenerios given the timeframe he wrote the book.\n\nMany people have difficulting reading it because there is just too much information given in the first half of the book ... but if you keep up with it you will truly love it!

This was a very enjoyable book, I first read it about 15 years ago.  It is semi-autobiographical in that the author is a pilot and the narrator of the book is a pilot who meets a man with an interesting insight into the human condition and who appears to be a messiah.\n\nThe book is full of memorable lines and makes the reader contemplate life and why we are here.  I definitely recommend it. \n\nThe following link has a number of quotes from the book.

http://columbia.thefreedictionary.com/Similie This is pretty straightforward.\n\nCheck out T.S. Eliot. http://www.bartleby.com/198/1.html has some of his work.  My favorite is in the first stanza of "The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock."

Invest in a "CliffsComplete" copy of whatever work you're reading. It has the full text of the original work as well as interpretations and all the stuff that would be in the "CliffNotes" version.

I feel your pain, dude.\nI have a ten page essay on The Life Of Charles Dickens due in less then 2 weeks & I hardly have anything written! And I am only a freshman in highschool! (that sure gives you something to look foward too, huh?)\n\nBut, there's one thing that I learned from all the papers I had to write in my middle school & high school carreer is that...\n\nYou are the only who can do the paper, and YOU have to RESEARCH..thats why its called a RESEARCH paper..!!\n\nHere are some tips on how to research:\n\n*go to the libary--get some books about friction and research\n\n*you can also go to yahoo.com,google.com, or msn.com and type in "fricion" in the search box, and print out a couple of pages about friction and later highlight what you think you need for the report or take notes on it\n\n&& Voila! Your paper will be done in no time! :D\n\nGood Luck!

Definitely Dickens - I would go with Hard Times though, specifically Mr. Gradgrind who can only think in terms of fact and refuses the notions of imagination or impulsiveness. The opening sequence in his "model school" where he completely blasts poor Sissy Jupe over her lack of knowledge of what a horse is and her choice of flowers on carpets are just classic for singlemindedness.
