You can try any of the Stephen King's, like The Shining for example, or Misery;\nThe Thirteenth Magician by Patrick Welch ;\nYou can also try any of Edgar Allan Poe's works--they are all pretty dark and gothic for instance:\nThe Fall of the House of Usher\n\nGood Luck with any of those, they are all good!

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! :~)

Dear corky,\n\nhave you read the book yet?  What sort of presentation are you expected to do?\n\nYou could always look at critiquing the work.  The premise of the story is how human (in this case children) would behave when they are faced with various circumstances and pressure of nature and need for survival.\n\nYou could also analyse how the kids "organize" themselves - the formation of "society" on the island.\n\nYou could analyze how the kids built their own "religion" or belief system.\n\nYou could analyze how the author portray human nature.  Would these pointers be enough?

Try using the library and ask the librarian to help you find some good articles on the subject. STOP using the Internet as your sole source for relevant information. Instead of wasting time surfing for help, go ask a librarian. They usually are more than willing to help, AND they have the experience and knowledge to help you. PLUS, you can interact with a real, live person!! Try it!!

This'll be a great help:\n\nRead the story and take notes on all the characters, what they're like, etc. Then take a different section of notes on their opinions. If you want, take additional notes on age, related to whom, and friends with whom. Then, when you get projects like this, all you have to do is skim through a few notes and not the whole book.

I would suggest getting into a reading class.  Successful readers tend to do better with spelling and expressed language than those who hate to read.  I would also warn you that NOTHING worth doing comes easily, so don't expect to get anywhere without some effort.  Life just isn't that simple.  Good luck.

well for one thing...Harry Potter. Thats one of my favorite series. If you haven't already read them, sisterhood of the traveling pants. one of my favorite books ever is cobwebs, by karen young...thats awesome. also, the dueling princes, stealing princes, pulling princes set...i love those. One of those hideous books where the mother dies (yes, thats the title) i love that book, i've read it like 6 times. all of those are great...i hope there's at least a few you haven't read here! this is exactly what i told someone else, idk if you read that, but if you did, thats why it looks familiar :)

The first thing you need to know is just what the teacher is asking for. If it is completely open, you have great choices. What about a character comparison between the main character and his protagonist. What about an indepth look at differnt themes with pertinent references to current world issues. It is a sci-fi book, look at what social aspects Bradbury predicted and what has actually become real. Otherwise you could compare Bradbury's writing style with one of his contemporaries.\ngood luck

First, let me suggest a great book called "Eats, Shoots, Leaves" by Lynn Truss. I think you would appreciate it.\n\nSecond, let me embarrass myself by tackling your sentence.\n\n(H)ey, what(')s or what is up with my gramm(a)r?\n\nThose were the obvious errors. Of course, I reserve the right to find more, but that is it for now.

you must read every day. dont along time. just 1-2 hours but full concentrate. make your feel better with slow music or you can read in silence place. you can make point about your reading, what important - write that. Try to love/interest every book you want to read, it make you easy to remember.

Just type April Raintree Novel and you will have a lot of links. Here is a link of somebody's study page on the novel\n\nhttp://jesshomepage0.tripod.com/studyguide.htm\n\nHope this helps you work it out. I agree with the previous poster, you should read it yourself.

read english novels if you are advanced enough. I recommend anything by P G Wodehouse. your vocabulary will treble.
