I've got an english final coming up in two days, and he's offered us extra credit to fill out a study guide over what will be on the test. The book does not give all the answers, so a lot of them will come off of the notes that we've taken throughout the year. As I never paid that much attention (I'm passing with flying colors), I've got no notes. So if you know the answer to any of the below questions, please let me know! If you do not wish to help, that's fine. That was a lot of typing though!
