Questions?
By request, here is a post for you to ask questions of me!
You can be a member of as many groups as you want...especially if you've read the book already. However, I'd caution you about reading a group thread if you haven't read the book...the comments may contain spoilers!
Sweet. Can everybody try to tune into this blog at least a few times a year to see if there are any good books you could find more good books you would like to read?
I have yet another question. Ms. B. do you know of a website like the No Fear Shakespeare for deciphering Wuthering Heights? i own the book and i am trying to read it but it is a little confusing.
Google "spark notes wuthering heights." Disclaimer: Many teachers might freak out if they know you are using spark notes, because they will worry that you only read spark notes, and not the book. The intention of spark notes is to help GUIDE your reading and explain thing you may not otherwise understand. (Like the language of the Brontes.)
My suggestion is to read a chapter in the actual book, THEN go to spark notes for clarification. Otherwise the summaries may spoil what's upcoming.
Am I the only one who has been checking and writing on the blog? I've only checked the Hunger Games & Everwild groups, but no one else has said anything...
