I have no clue where your little purple monkey is. Where were you spanking him at last?

why dont you just look online for a summery of the book, you can get pretty detailed ones for free, thats how i made my way through school, never read a single book other than the old man and the sea by E.Hemingway. sure you can find cliffnotes on that book too, at a bookstore, no need to read the whole book, last resort, spend 20 dollars and have somebody else write the report for you and email it to ya... not the best money spent but if you are short on time and need it ASAP.

"Bonzi Buddy" is a well known site for popups, tracking cookies and other stupid snoop tools.
I would suggest you read the Cliff notes summary and use your own words and such for the paper. Yes, this takes more work and thought, but it will give you a better handle on report writing skills you may need later on down the road. A Copy/Paste paper will stand out like a sore thumb and you'll get dinged for plagerism and fail the assigment.
FYI: To be a good writer, one needs to be a good reader also. There are no effective short cuts to this process. I say this from experience too.
Swez was a horrible reader/writer in HS. But in college level courses, advanced Technical Writing skills were/are very useful. I needed those skills in my work, the past 20 years or so. If one is to excel among their peers in today's competitive work environment, our edge is to gather and share high level knowlege with well developed writing and presentation skills.
Finally, in a job interview, we must come across as well rounded and educated job seekers. We can excel with excellent verbal, and written communication skills, to gain better paying jobs.
I never gave it a second thought in HS. But looking back over the years in my own career path, I am "so glad" I paid attention and put in the effort to become a good technical writer. Sadly, people in management look more at presentation and delivery skills, then what a person knows and does well at each day. It all depends on our goals and future vison for our given career paths.

PS As I recall, you are studying to be a body repair and paint tech now yes? Suppose you take a few steps up later, and have to manage a small group of techs and report to upper management. (Never can tell where some things will lead in time)
However, if you do the grunt work now, your promotion prospects will be much higher later, if the communication skills match Managerial levels. Want to be a "Big Wig" someday? Learn to speak and act like one now. If not your goal in life, it's still good to read, write and deliver information like the Professional you are becoming even as you read this commentary. (It does matter)

I'm with Swez. Cliff notes help if you need a summary. remember, you are reading a summary--and that's just someone else's compilation of what is important and meaningful to them.
When reading a book for content, what's draw to conclusion and tested upon may be different than the cliff note summary.
I am a speed reader...because I hate reading through mindless fluff and entertainment reading. You may want to acquire this skill...or learn to Survey, Question, Read, Recite Review..and you'll be able to cover volumes of material without actually reading each word.

thats what i need the ol mighty skill of speed reading, i do tend to scan stuff if it does not interest me, but dont pick up on everything i need all the time...
MrBrownstone on 03/7/2006 14:26:50
what you need to do is read the title of a paragraph as a question, then, then skim thru the text til you find the answer.
Write down the question, the answer, and then try to review that a number of times after you've gone through the whole chapter/section. This allows you to remember the important things, while not wasting you time on fluff.

There is one major problem with our "cookie cutter" educational process. I think Big D is really saying something like... "I learn things best as I put my hands on things, fiddle with it and figure out how and why it works".
The problem is, after about 1st grade, we sit in a chair, look at the board, (very bored) and listen to a boring schpeel about something that matters little in the overall scheme of life. Yes, we need to learn to read, write, solve math problems and communicate well enough to get along with others. But for the most part, it's mostly memorizing, punctuation, diction and penmanship.
Finally, in latter grade school, we get electives and can study other things that may be more to our liking and interests. We can take shop classes, cooking , art, music and the like. Sure, we still have science, advanced math, english comp, political and world history to suffer through. But, not all day, every day.
Now, why can't schools also teach what is really needed in our latter years? Things like getting along in the work place, managing our money, investing our money, how top earn money, how to manage crisis, deal with problematic people, creative problem solving and things that really matter.
For the college bound students, most will have no clue what is ahead of them. Only a small percentage can say ... "I will be a Doctor, Engineer, Scientist, Computer Programmer, Dentist, Salesmen, Business Manager or Technician". For those who have that advanced focus, they are ready to launch.
However, for the majority of our Freshman and Sophomore years, we are dabbling in several options and mostly taking up space. Most have no idea what they can/will do most naturally and well, right out of 2nd grade sand box. (BTW, I was in that scenario the first year of college too)
Then, it finally hit me. I like electronics! I will study and learn about electronic devices and complex systems components. That was it... I was now ready to launch. (yeah, a late bloomer) But a very focused and motivated one as well.
Anyway, just curious here. How many of those reading this post, really knew what they could do and wanted to accomplish, fresh out of HS and early college? What's your story and how did you arrive at your present destination?
Come on shy ones, now its time for all to speak up an be counted,
