i need help on a book report format for a tale of two cities please?

We Answered:

Not knowing the teacher either, I can't say what kind of book report she wants, but I would definitely encourage you to do something creative. If you do wind up talking about the plot, characters, setting, etc. do it in a interesting, unique way. -- Don't just summarize the book, but analyze and reflect on it. I like the idea of a comparison/juxtaposition between "A Tale of Two Cities" and "The Scarlet Pimpernel", but make sure you focus more on the former.
Something that I think stands out about "A Tale of Two Cities" are the characters of Darnay and Carton, and of course the similarities they share. Together, they're a bit like a less-extreme version of Jekyll & Hyde.
The theme of sacrifice and rebirth is also something that stands out - especially in the characters of Dr Manette and Sydney Carton. This theme is, arguably, mirrored in the revolution itself (or at least the revolutionaries would say this -- lives and loyalties must be sacrificed for the sake of a new, reborn France).

What's the best format for a college book report?

We Answered:

centered, bolded titles. I just finished a technical writing class, and I got marked down for not doing that (but I got the points back after doing a rewrite)

book report for the bible ?

We Answered:

Unless you're attending a non-private school you may or may not be potentially damaging your grade if you say something your teacher doesn't agree with. It's a subject matter I would be very careful with in a non-religious school setting. Christianity shares many differing beliefs and many similar beliefs.

Generally the teacher should provide you with an outline on what they expect the book report to consist of, length, citations, etc.

Interview/Monologue format for book report?

We Answered:

if you're doing a interview, you would have to put it in question and answer format. But remember the 1question & 1 answer = 1 paragraph.

Book Report Format: The Boy in The Striped Pajamas. I need help writting my book report?

We Answered:

This book is about a nine year old boy named Bruno who, because of his father's job, is forced to move from Berlin to the countryside. From his bedroom window, Bruno spots a fence behind which he sees men in 'striped pyjamas'. These are Jews, and they are in a Nazi concentration camp. One day his parents come to an agreement that both Bruno and Gretel need a tutor for their education, so they hire Herr Liszt. To Bruno, Herr Liszt is the most boring teacher one could ever have; he teaches social studies instead of reading and arts, which Bruno prefers. So, in boredom and confusion, Bruno wonders what is going on at "Out-With" (Auschwitz) and why people are always dressed in striped pyjamas there. One afternoon, he goes exploring, and meets a Jewish boy called Shmuel, a name Bruno has never before heard but that apparently is quite common in the concentration camp. Shmuel soon becomes Bruno's friend and Bruno visits every afternoon to talk. Bruno is told that the people in the striped pyjamas on the other side of the fence are Jews and that he and his family are "the opposite".

The story ends with Bruno about to return to the family's old home in Berlin. As a final adventure, he agrees to dress in a set of striped pyjamas and climb under a loose wire in the fence to help Shmuel find his father, who went missing in the camp. The boys are unable to find him, and just as it starts to rain and get dark, Bruno decides he would like to go home, yet the Nazis in the area of the camp force the boys to go on a march. Neither boy knows where this march will lead. However, they are soon crowded into a gas chamber, and the author leaves the story with Bruno pondering, yet unafraid, in the dark holding hands with Shmuel. "...Despite the chaos that followed, Bruno found that he was still holding Shmuel's hand in his own and nothing in the world would have persuaded him to let go".

In an epilogue, Bruno's family spend several months at their home trying to find Bruno, before his mother and Gretel return to Berlin, only to discover he is not there as they had expected. A year afterwards, his father returns to the spot that the soldiers found Bruno's clothes (the same spot Bruno spent the last year of his life) and, after a brief inspection, discovers that the fence is not properly attached at the base and can form a gap big enough for a boy of Bruno's size to fit through. Using this information, his father eventually pieces together what happened to Bruno. Several months later, the Red Army arrives to liberate the camp and order Bruno's father to come with them. He goes without complaint, because "he didn't really mind what they did to him anymore".
