I've watched the movie a billion times (and loved it) but it'd be nice to read the original too, which is the book ^^ If anyone knows where I can read it, please let me know <3

It's called "The World is Flat"...
It's a class assignment and it's a whopping 467 pages long!! Nobody wants to read it beacuse we already read the first few pages and it sound like the author was doing drugs while writing this (classmate's own words). If anybody has read this, does it get better along the way???
If not, How do I survive reading this without dieing of bordom?!
(sorry for mispellings)

I like books that start with a bang. action from the get-go. If the first 1/3 of the book is lead-up then I'm board already!

I like stuff about people doing horrible things. the people are the monsters. psychological horrors. serial killers. evil kids.. that kind of stuff. I love smart, devious characters! lots of torture, fear and murder!

Dimmesdale returns home from the forest ot the settlement. As we watch him go, we are struck by the change in the man. The minister who went to the woods was weak to the point of death. The minister who returns is nothing short of frenzied. In fact, he seems a little crazy.

Dimmesdale's journey home is a progress fraught with peril, for at every step, he is tempted to do some outrageous thing or another.

What does he feel like teaching to the children he sees in town?

What is he tempted to tell the newly "won-over" virgin?

When Dimmesdale gets home, he lies to Chillingworth. What is this lie?

The minister also does something else, something that points in a different direction in his life. What does he do that evening to show that he is changed?

Can anyone think of any effects of having an unreliable narrator in a novel? I got the idea that the ideas may be biased due to 1 point of view but cannot think of anything else! Any ideas???

Out of the following, which word do you think describes Francie best throughout the ENTIRE novel?

`1. Bravery
`2. Courage
`3. Faith
`4. Hope
`5. Strength

Or if you can think of any other words that might fight more appropiately, that could be helpful too. Those were the only ones I could come up with for right now.
Thank you soo much ♥♥
