Is it possible to get a big publisher to buy the rights of a book printed by a smaller press and republish it with a broader release? If so, how does that work?

I'm doing a research powerpoint for fools, clowns, and jesters in Shakespeare plays that have been read in my class, and was wondering if Falstaff would be considered one of those?

Thanks!

I'm looking for books that follow this:

1.) A story about going against society's beliefs, and it working for the better good. (Example: The book Anthem).

2.) Learning they have a purpose, and how it effects everyone. (The Giver MIGHT fit this).

3.) A book that is full of metaphorical things about society and life and what should be looked at and changed. (The book Geoffery Chaucer wrote, with the Pardoner's Tale in it would fit fine with that, and Gulliver's Travels as well).

4.) Thought provoking (all of these are swell examples).

Any books I haven't named that would fit these examples and qualifications that I would enjoy? (try to name about 2 at least please). Thanks!

I read the Odyssey with school and my teacher encouraged us to watch Oh Brother, Where Art Thou because it was based on the book. I watched it and I picked up on some similarities, but mostly I was just very confused watching the movie. I see how they are similar with like the characters names, the prophet, the sirens, etc. But can someone help me by pointing out some more similarities, differences, and explaining basically what the movie was about. I was just so confused watching it, lol. I feel stupid. So please and thanks!

I am currently a second-year student in college. I have been working on my novel since I was a freshman in high school, which is basically a time period of 5 years.

During 9th grade, that was when my novel changed the most. Since then, I keep changing things because I feel like the things I wrote weren't realistic or mature enough.

So, how do I finish my novel for good so I can try to publish it? If I keep seeing its flaws, what's to stop me from continuing to revise it?

I'm going crazy. I need a book to read! My favorite book is A Clockwork Orange and nothing has ever come close to beating that. Second favoirte is Slaughterhouse 5. What book should I read? Are there any books remotely similar to these two? I really like it when a book makes you think for weeks, you take a lot from it instead of it just being a quick meaningless action romp.

Hey I need help on what three main ideas I should write on concerning this topic: Is the character portrayal in the general prologue consistent with the pardoner's tale and prologue? I chose to write about the pardoner as a hypocrite and as a well performed conman (able to con people by promising entrance into heaven). What other trait can I investigate?

In the secondary plot of the tragedy, why would Edmund save his father, Earl of Gloucester from suicide even though his father had been trying to kill him since the beginning of the play? i know it is about the nature which the play is fundamentally about, but isn't it kind of unnature to save someone who tried to kill you before? please share your thoughts.

10points wil be awarded to the best answer.

Who could I compare to Tim Burton, who wrote gruesome and nightmarish stories (both animated and real life), in a compare and contrast essay?

They could be very similar or very different.

I was surfing book reviews on Amazon and read reviews for some of the Great Books. I read a review for Madame Bovary that said "Emma bovary was a psycho....this was some whack sh*t." Another one was by a TEACHER who said "it is so hard getting kids to read this because its so monotonous and pretentious." Then I read a 1 star review for the Canterbury tales that said "yuck....this book bites." Has this made you lose faith in mankind yet?
