Specifically on chapters 5 - 9. I suck ak English and I gotta do some questions that I can't find in the book because I'm stoopid. just a few things, that's all, I'm not asking for much. Any help would be appreciated!
P.S: Isn't it a nice change to talk about books instead of games?

Best I can tell you is look up something like Cliffnotes or Sparknotes...I think both of them have online sites but I'm not sure...

I would go into the one essay site that I know of...but I won't.

DO NOT GO TO SPARKNOTES.

Thier information isn't provided by professionals but instead mostly college students with shitty grades, making thier information marginally useful at best and flat-out wrong at worst.

Cliffnotes, however, is a pretty respectable business.

By the way, it's a little general to summarize chapters 5-9, especially since it's been well over a year since I read the book and I sure as hell don't remember which chapter is which. Posting teh questions would help greatly.

Have you tried turning to the net yet? ALso cliffnotes would be good as it gives a nice amount of information needed to get atleast a basic understanding of the book, nonetheless answer some questions.

Here are some minor character info pages; has info on Klipspringer

Also, if you need help tracking certain events, just bullet important events as they come up, then go back, and read your notes.

I had to read that book for English class in Secondary 5, but that was almost 5 years ago so I don't remember anything

But I read all the books they gave us to read for Literature or English class at secondary school and college, even when they didn't interest me much (in other words, I read them just because I had to and didn't want to fail) ... the biggest few had 400-600 pages, too And I had to find all the answers by myself, I didn't even have Internet access at the time ...

I have to read F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" for my English class right now. I found that www.pinkmonkey.com has some really good info and stuff on it. I reccomend it for the answers to your questions. I'm not done with the book though, I'm only on Chapter 4.

I have the same thing to say about pinkmonkey as I do about Sparknotes. Mostly made by college students with shitty grades, so thier information is sorta-kinda useful at best and simply wrong at worst.

I know the answers to most of those questions, actually, but if you're being questioned in such great detail I think it'd be better for you to read the book yourself. The chapters are pretty short and somewhat entertaining. Just give it a go.

Does every high school use the same questions? I had those same exact questions on my study guide. It is rather easy though, as it was only 2 months ago I did this test.

Okies, I just read the book, and have an awesome teacher, so I'll do my best to help you out.

. . .

Hmm, I went through answering all the questions until I got to number twelve when I figured, "Hmm, maybe some advice from my teacher would help this guy out, instead of spoon-feeding him the answers."

My teacher tells us that "You can read, then you can read." Basically, you can read and get the basic idea of the book or you can read and understand exactly what's going on plus that much more. I suggest, you read the entire book again, and answer the questions yourself because all the answers are in there. Written out as plain as day.
Of course, I'm pretty naive, and think you'll actually do it.

Start reading the book!

Seriously, if you want to pass the class, you're going to end up reading it anyways. It's a good read to boot. Just fucking read it.
