Get some Cliffs notes.

Why would we want to do your homework?

i had to read that book for english in both freshman and sophomore year. i'll probably be able to answer various questions you might have, otherwise www.sparknotes.com is your best friend for chapter summaries, etc.

oh man, in freshman year we took a test over one of the last chapters which of course i didn't bother taking a glance at. one of the questions was "what happened when miss pross and madame defarge met?" and i had no idea and knew i'd fail the test anyway so just being the stupid ass i am i put down "they got in a fight." turned out that was EXACTLY what happened and miss pross shoots madame defarge and kills her. lolll. so at least you'll know that much if you're lazy like me and refuse to read boring b:eyes2:ks.

...it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

yaaa i memorized it all just to be able to say that i memorized it all.

eh, it wasnt worth it :lol:

Heh, I had to read that book in my senior year for English. I actually liked it - wasn't too bad. Maybe it's because I read the Spark Notes version and then read the actual book. :lol:

Either way, Sarah's right... www.sparknotes.com is your best friend. My junior year English teacher actually recommended it to me when she noticed I was having problems understanding "The Scarlet Letter" in her class. I registered and passed the rest of her quizzes and eventually the final test with flying colors. :D

I saw the "A Tale of Two Cities" movie AFTER we finished with the book, and I can honestly say it is one of the worst movies I have ever watched. :thumbsdow

Thanks...you just saved my ass! :YAY!!SARAH!!!:

sparknotes is pretty much what i lived by in HS and will probably do the same in college. it's not because i don't read the books. ive read almost all books ever asigned to me, but sparknotes always clears things up and makes it much easier. most of my teachers have been very anti book notes because students like to use them as a replacement for the book. if you use them as a supplement though they help about ten times more.

it's already been said, but it can't be said enough...

I read that book twice in high school. The first time I skimped around and just read the first book. The second time, I read the entire thing and was actually surprised that I liked it a lot. I don't trust sparknotes or cliffnotes. They're written by students and most of the time their analysis is completely off. You'd be better off just reading it yourself and trying to analyze it in your own way. Then rent the movie to help you see it better.

I remember reading this book during senior year English...and I really liked it actually. I didn't think that I would.

the reason i rely on sparknotes is because i have a serious problem with focusing on books that don't interest me. while doing homework for a tale of two ****ties last year i skimmed around to look for the answers that i couldn't find online but that's the most i could do. i've had that problem since fifth grade, it's no use trying to read something boring because i don't, and can't, consciously grasp what i'm reading and there's nothing i can do about it. i've tried everything, taking notes is a waste of time and stress because i don't have a damn idea which things to write because i don't know what the hell i'm reading about. i can remember a few names and key terms etc but that's all. my attention span was not built to follow long boring plots with loads of worthless details.

if there ARE any parts you can focus on and follow i really recommend doing so, it'll be a hell of a lot easier than living on sparknotes. but still that site is what saved my ass from failing all four semesters of high school i've been through.
