English 2 summer reading help....?
1. Think of it like it is asking what does the average individual (assuming average individuals are just:-)) owe to a society? Is their only responsibility to follow the laws and rules of the country? Should they have to right to enforce what they think is right or wrong on other people in the country? 2. So what does a country owe to it's people? Do some rights and freedoms have to be granted to people no matter what? Can a state/government be allowed to take rights and freedoms away from the average person? 3. Redemption basically means being "saved," by realizing the wrongs you have done. So I believe what the question is asking is how does a person realize their wrong-doings and be acquitted of their sins? Do they have to be severely punished to realize right from wrong and be acquitted of sin? Or is it through the practice of religion and confession that redemption is experienced? Or is there something internal that helps people know right from wrong and realize mistakes and be acquitted of sin? Those are the things you have to be thinking about to answer those questions! Hope it's more clear for you.

English 10th grade summer hmwk help!?
Yes, look at several of the main characters and identify what their problems are. For example, in Harry Potter, the main conflict involves the man vs. man conflict between Harry and Lord Voldemort. In 1984, the conflict is man vs. society: the main character Winston versus the dystopian society of Oceania. Sometimes characters can be in multiple categories, like Odysseus in The Odyssey. Odysseus faces man vs. man conflicts (ex. him versus his wife's suitors), man vs. nature (his ship is constantly in danger from storms), man vs. self (him and his crew must fight uncontrollable lust for the sirens), man vs. supernatural (him versus the variety of Gods and hellish creatures he meets along the way), and man vs. fate (Is his destiny to return home?) Hope this helps.

Please help! Which two books should I pick for summer reading and why?
I'm going in to 12 grade AP English next year and we have to do this huge summer reading project. Basically there is this huge list of books that we get to choose from (which is actually really awesome; instead of making us choose from four books, we get to choose from different authors, eras and themes), but the problem is, I need to start reading them right away and I'm just not sure which books I would like to pick.... I've narrowed it down to about 18 books, but I just can't pick! So here's what I would love your help on: which two of these books should I pick to read and why? 1. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy 2. The Awakening by Kate Chopin 3. Dubliners by James Joyce 4. Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift 5. The Heart is a lonely hunter by Carson McCullers 6. The Invisible man by Ralph Ellison 7. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte 8. Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov 9. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen 10.No Exit by Jean Paul Sartre 11.Notes from underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky 12.The optimist's daughter by eudora welty 13.Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse 14.Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence 15.The Sun also rises by Ernest Hemingway 16.Surfacing by Margaret Atwood 17.Wise blood by Flannery O'Conner 18.Wuthering Heights by Emile Bronte
How can I finish my summer reading in twenty seven days?
1) Change your mindset before reading a book that you consider boring. Just the fact that you think of it as a boring book makes it harder to read. Try to give it a chance and it might surprise you. Even Murakami can seem boring with his fiction at times.2) In case the book turns out to be really really boring after reading 1/3 of it, start skimming through. Usually boring books are easy to skim through, you can skip a page or two and still understand everything that happens in that book. In case it becomes unclear, go back a few pages.
AP English & East of Eden summer assignment. HELP!!!?
I'm going to take AP English this year, and I was given a summer assignment on the book East of Eden by John Steinbeck. But whoever typed it up apparently left out 3/4 of the instructions, so now I'm in a rush to finish it all. So it turns out that I have to answer questions and highligh and annotate biblical allusions. If anyone can tell me where I can find the biblical allusions in East of Eden (page numbers would be VERY helpful) and provide an analysis with them, and help me answer these questions, I would be forever greatful. (I also have to read Ch. 1-4 in the book of Genesis in the Bible, which is supposed to help us understand the book I guess) Here are the 5 q's: 1. Did reading the book of Genesis enhance your understanding of Steinbeck's biblical allusions? How? 2. Why do you suppose that Steinbeck includes so much about the Cain and Abel story in the novel, having Samuel read the text? (cont'd below . . . )
