as you may or may not have guessed, i receive a lot of messages about this site. these

people who want to express their appreciation of zora and/or this site

| My teacher assigned a

outline of the plot, descriptions of characters, and info on the "themes" in the
book? I read it, I just need a refresher. Also, some good thesis statements would help a

wake up. you honestly think some stranger wants to help

question, and i or someone else will try to point you in the right direction. most
information is available, you just need to make an effort to find it.
do not post anything
stupid or obscene. do not post anything unrelated to zora. by posting a message, you agree
to abide by these rules. this is a scholarly (yet accessible) forum which belongs to
everybody.
if you are searching for a specific book or author, use this Barnes & Noble search engine:
