So my English teacher is starting a new book called A Tale of Two Cities. She gives us some worksheets to become acquainted with the story and then she gives us a 5-6 page packet with 135 questions that we fill in as we go along with the novel.

Being bored, I sometimes try to google the worksheets (for the answers) using the specific quotations quotation marks that google has (ex. "what did the author mean by.."). I mean I knew that my teacher doesn't write all these questions. So I put parts of the questions in quotation marks to see what I would get. Most of the time I just go to other teacher's websites that have the study questions on them.

But then, a lucky google search brough the following. Jackpot! The bottom link is a .doc that has 95 of the answers to 135 of the questions! Can I get a w00t w00t? :D

I support the OP. I hated that book in high school. Only book worse than it that I had to read was Tess of the D'Urbourville's or however the hell you spell it.

Rarely is the question asked: "Is our children learning?"

But yet we continually complain about the downfall of society.

From your post, I think its quite obvious that you should be paying attention and doing your English work.

Let me add, don't worry I will be reading the book. We will have quizzes and tests on it. I think its really a hinderance having to stop and answer questions while I'm reading. It throws me off the story.

HAHA, what's funny is that the document is hosted by a local school here in Birmingham.

Maybe it's a trap intentionally placed by the teacher with all the wrong answers so she'd know if you've been googling :Q

by cheating, way to go sport I hope mommy and daddy are proud. Wait till college when you start to get owned because homework isn't worth anything and its all based on two midterms and a final.
