NY state has to do this crappy summer reading, where you have to read 2 books and write an essay on them. I just need some quotes, does anyone know any good websites that provides book quotes?

<font color=cadetblue>Try searching on Google.</font>

I don't mean to be nosy, but are you going to say you have read these books and you haven't? Or have I just totally misunderstood you? If I have, please accept my apology.

If that's your plan, then I wouldn't - I once knew someone who did. He picked a quote from "Of Mice and Men" - one of my English teacher's favourite books. When the teach said "Oh, what did you feel when George shot Lennie?", he gaped like a fish, we all laughed at him, and he got an 'F' for his trouble.

I'm not saying that's what you were planning to do, but if by any remote chance it was, or anyone else ever thinks of doing this, then my advice would be - don't.

<font color=skyblue>Dude, as mentioned above, my college professor warned us of that type of trickery in her class. She said that an English Major was the biggest Bull-shitter in the world, and "nobody could ever bull-shit a bull-shitter."

What she was saying is that it did not matter how good we were at inventing interesting lies...she'd know. And I fully believe her. This woman is evil!</font>

No, I read the books but it is a pain in the @$$ to search the whole damn books looking for specific quotes (specially the Two Towers). They are asking for physical traits, lines, etc.

Well, maybe if you posted what the two books were that you read, we might could be of more help to you.

I actually just need the Two Towers from the LotR trilogy, I finished a day no pigs would die and typed it, only to discover that you need to handwrite it or you fail because they think you plageurized [img]graemlins/firedevil.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/firedevil.gif[/img]

What, like it matters either way? You can still plageurize hand writing it :rolleyes:

Ohh, so glad I won't go to college for another two years, from everything I heard those teachers show no mercy [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yeah, I know you can still plageurize by handwriting, but our school makes no sense. Hate school, hate the board of ed, who thought it was a good idea to handwrite??? Handwriting has errors, harder to read, and lots of mistakes in general. Typing is faster, and more efficient.
