Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Formal Book Report questions.?

We Answered:

I can offer some advice, if you don't mind putting up with a little wordiness. I may not be an English Professor, but I've had to write my share of papers about literature for college, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde happens to be a favorite book of mine.

First off, when it comes to the technical side of your report (the spacing and page requirements) that can differ from teacher to teacher – to be certain, you should probably contact your instructor and ask. However, I'd give a guess that it will probably need to be double-spaced and will probably need to be between 2-6 pages. Again, this is my estimation – the only way to know what applies to your case is to contact your instructor another student from your class.

As for how to go about the process of writing a book report, outlining is a pretty good habit to get into; it allows you to organize your data and make your paper coherent, and it makes writing the paper SO much easier.

I usually start by brainstorming and writing down all the different key parts of the book – characters, scenes, plot elements, themes, recurring motifs, basic facts etc. Doing this usually helps inspire me as to what I want to write my paper about. If you're still having trouble, look over your list, think about the book and try to determine what parts of the book are most the interesting or important to you. What do you want to explain about the book, what makes it good or bad? How does it compare to other, similar books? What makes the book, the plot or the characters special? What do you want to say about it?

After all, a great book report shouldn't just summarize the book, but should also analyze it in some way. This shows a teacher that you not only read the story, but that you thought about it too.

Once you've made a list of all of the relevant things you can think of, you organize the data. I usually sort the data in my list into one of two categories:

A. Main Points/Ideas to Use in the Paper
B. Facts from the Story that Back Up a Main Point

I usually find the Main Points first, and then put the data that backs up or exemplifies those points underneath it. Here's an example:

Point A. Repression in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Example 1. Utterson likes the theater, but makes a point not to go
Example 2. Utterson also likes good liquor, but only drinks the bad stuff
Example 3. Dr. Jekyll represses the personality traits that are later realized in Hyde
Example 4, 5, 6, etc...

Once you've done this with all of your data, arrange your paints in a way that allows their subjects to flow at least somewhat smoothly. It doesn't have to be perfect. For example, you could go from Examples of Repression -> The Harms of Repression -> The Downfall of Jekyll -> etc, etc...

With your outlining done, your paper pretty much writes itself! Just remember that basic formula – that you have one big idea with many smaller facts underneath it to back it up. That is not only the formula for outlining, AND for paragraph creation (which is pretty much translating your outline into full sentences), but is also the formula for the entire essay!
Your introductory paragraph states your main idea, and then the paragraphs of the paper's Body are all the parts of the idea that back up your main one, and then those paragraphs each have data from the story that backs up your smaller ideas. It's like a tree, with a single trunk sprouting branches, which each sprout smaller twigs. Conclusions can be tricky, but they really just tie what has been learned in the body of your paper back to the idea you stated in the introduction. Do it right, and it comes off as a neat, complete, well-reasoned paper.

Another tip - triple-check your grammar. Even a paper with the most intelligent, well-thought-out argument can fall on its butt if the writer misspells words or over-uses commas every other sentence. However, I'd say from the way you wrote your question that you're not going to have too much of a problem with this. ;-)

Anyways, I hope this helps! I know everyone has a different writing process - this one works for me, but you might do it a different way. In any case, good luck with your paper! :-)

Help! I need a formal written to report a nurse to DON how she treated me!?

If you are using this as propagnada, which I am inclined to think you are, disreguard my answer.

It is good that you care about the patients. I don't hink that answers can help though, although I will do my best. Talk to the supervisor. I believe that patients care comes first. Don't give up. It's not so bad what you two say to each other, just make sure that the patients get the greatest care possible. You seem rather smart and thoughtful. I'm glad you care about the patients.

tips to write a report..?

Try to figure out why the riot is occurring. Knowing the cause of a riot can help you determine an appropriate response. That said, don't waste too much time trying to investigate the cause, and don't venture into a riot just to find out why the rioters are mad.
Dress appropriately. If the anger of the rioters is directed toward foreigners, try to look like a local. Choose clothing that will help you blend in. If the rioters are divided into factions, however, try to appear neutral. Don't wear clothing or carry accessories that might mark you as belonging to one faction or another. In either case, try to avoid looking conspicuously wealthy, as you are likely to draw the unwanted attention of opportunistic thieves.
If a riot breaks out in a stadium, your response should be different depending on where you are in relation to the rioters. If you are in the midst of a riot, you should try to quickly move to an exit. Don't run, however, and try not to jostle others. If you are at some distance from the action, stay where you are unless instructed to move by police or security personnel. Don't rush for the exits unless you're in imminent danger. People are frequently trampled by stampeding crowds near exits.
When in the middle of a tear gas attack, stay out of the fire line of Police. Gas canisters fired from launchers will cause significant injury upon impact.
Some gas is not very heavy, and some is, so it's best to avoid clouds and gas at all. Never touch your eyes or try to clean your tears; you will only smear them in your face causing yourself more pain.
Riots don't drop out of thin air. Generally, there may be signs of public anger and violence at least one day (in some cases even 3-4 days) before the actual riot. Reading the newspapers and following the news may give you a warning about impending protests, rallies, marches etc. Being informed and avoiding troubled areas may be your best defense.

Do not try to confront rioters or looters to prevent property damage. No material thing is worth your life.
Do not approach police lines to attempt to cross to safety. Police are in place to confine the unrest and prevent its spread. Their orders are usually not to allow anyone to pass. The use of riot control measures, including rubber bullets, tear gas, and water cannons originate from the police line, and the likelihood of injury is greatest there.
Watch your footing in a mob situation. If you stumble and fall to the ground you're likely to be trampled. This is especially dangerous in stadiums and other enclosed areas, where many unfortunate victims have been crushed to death.
If you fall down, pull yourself up into a ball. Protect your face, ears and internal organs. In this position you are a smaller object that can be avoided. You will receive less damage if you are stepped on. If others trip on you they will help create a larger "pile" that rioters will avoid.
Remember, riots are very violent, there are no rules and no limit. Everyone is fair game. Don't ever assume that you are safe from the rioters.

Be prepared. If you know an area is ripe for a riot but you can't avoid traveling there, take some simple precautions to help protect yourself. Wear clothes that minimize the amount of exposed skin--long pants and long-sleeve shirts, for instance--when going out, and think about your possible escape routes and safe havens before anything actually happens. Carry some cash with you in case you need to quickly arrange transportation, pay off looters, or bribe police at a checkpoint. If you're traveling abroad, register with your country's consulate and carry your passport and/or visa with you at all times.
Remain calm. Riots bring intense emotions boiling to the surface, but if you want to survive one you'd be better off keeping yours in check. Your adrenaline and survival instincts will kick in, but try to think rationally and pursue safety methodically.
Get inside and stay inside. Typically riots occur in the streets or elsewhere outside. Being inside, especially in a large, sturdy structure, can be your best protection to weather the storm. Keep doors and windows locked, avoid watching the riot from windows or balconies, and try to move to inside rooms, where the danger of being hit by stones or bullets is minimized. Try to find at least two possible exits in case you need to evacuate the building in a hurry. Try to contact police or your country's consulate to let them know where you are, and be on the lookout for signs of fire. If the building is set on fire get out quickly. If rioters are targeting the building and gain entry, try to sneak out or hide.
Stay on the sidelines. If you're caught up in a riot, don't take sides. Try to look as inconspicuous as possible, and slowly and carefully move to the outside of the mob. Stay close to walls or other protective barriers if possible.
Avoid being hit by riot control chemicals. Police may deploy riot control agents (tear gas, for

Ask your tutor for help. I am sure they would prefer it if you went to them because you do not understand rather than not attempt it at all.
