okay dudes - heres what sums it up. i read the book. i understand the book. my character is just obscure ( i think he only plays into like 2 pages directly). i actually have the book next to me. i was just hoping that people would understand it is the final days of school, in which i have 4 projects due and 4 exams. i hope people just would be like oh, well did you think of this..? ya that would be great. oh ya and im not gonna plagerize cuz its bad but i dont mind getting ideas from sparknotes and whatnot. okay thanks.

"i was just hoping that people would understand it is the final days of school, in which i have 4 projects due and 4 exams."
Manage your time better. Poor baby. 4 projects due and 4 exams. Wait until you get into the real world where 4 projects is what you need to get done BEFORE NOON.
There is an old saying, a lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part. Good luck.

I hate to say it, but the person who suggested you go to Sparks Notes and print it out and hand it in is going to get you in a heap of trouble. Do you honestly think teachers are so dumb that they dont know about Sparks Notes? Let me tell you something - there isnt a teacher alive who can't take a couple key phrases out of your paper and know in seconds exactly where you plagerized it from. It might not be a big deal in high school, just a failing grade, but in every college in America plagerism is instant grounds for expulsion. So if you have any plans for your future that include college, plagerism will get you nowhere. This is a very small book. The characters are very well developed so your memory box should be very easy to do. Stressing over a paper never gets it done. The reason you are stressing is because it is due TOMORROW. And dont tell me it was assigned to you yesterday! If you have had personal problems that have prevented you from doing it, ask for an extention. Teachers arent monsters. They do understand. It would be better for you to ask for an extention than plagerize. Pax - C

For your box... i just remember him regarding cooties... so maybe put some little bugs (fake obviously, not real ones!) in the book. I also remember he was poor, so maybe money? He makes the teacher cry so you could put a little vile of water in it? He only came to school at the beginning of the year so you could put something regarding truancy... a note home to the parents saying he's not coming? something like that?
sorry that may be a stretch as it may not be what your looking for but i hope it helps! Its been awhile!
For your paper... Spark notes, bookwolf and grade saver are all great sites! good luck!

okay here's some items for your "memory box": A calendar to remember when stuff is due. A table to set down the cell phone. A remote to turn off the TV. A cup of coffee to do an all-nighter. A pair of lips to say "sorry, I can't, I have to study for a project...".
[if you go to sparknotes, as the guy above suggests, mockingbird is spelled in one word, with a "g".]

Better start crying because we are NOT here to do YOUR homework for you! Read the material - something you should have already done.
