maybe if you posted your answers instead of just the questions people will help you. no one is going to do your homework for you though. that book was good. and easy. read it!
try sparknotes for help
you do know that if you go to sparknotes it will help A LOT.
or if you google this stuff you can find the answers..
no ones going to give you the answers on here though.
if you're that bored by the book maybe you should rent the movie. but the movie isn't completely like the book. teachers know that kids are gonna rent the movie also so they'll probably add trick questions on their tests and quizzes (mine did but i read the book so i was ok). so i'd highly recommend you read it and pay attention in class. good luck..
