Need to dazzel your English teacher?

I can remember being in high school because let’s face it, it wasn’t that long ago. Are late nights, pulled out hair, and stress headaches from the latest English paper you have to turn in getting to you? They certainly got to me but lucky for me I have a knack for pulling quotes, themes and symbols into a paper that can dazzle teachers. To be honest, I read very few of the novels assigned to me in high school and I now help my younger brother write papers on novels I’ve never even heard of. Now if you are thinking that because I didn’t read the novels that I could be of no help to you then you are wrong. I still recieved A's in my English classes, was editor of the yearbook, had a column in the local paper and I'm now currently trying to hammer out a novel. If I were to tell you all you have to know is how to BS then I would be a bad influence. So, all you have to know is how to BS. But I’ll give you a heads up, the habits you acquire from reading on a deadline in high school will help you in college, no, it will save your butt in college. I will share a few strategies of my own with you and then begin to go specifically into certain novels. Leave comments and tell me which novels you would like me to go into. Realize I am a student taking 16 credit hours and working 25 hours a week, I might not be able to get to your suggestion by the time you have to turn in the paper if it’s due, say, the next day.
