Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Can anyone direct me to an online source for good essay topics on literature? I don't feel very confident with coming up with my own topics to assign my dd. I'm looking for topics for books like Jane Eyre or Mere Christianity. When I search online, all I find is advertisements for those online companies that sell plagiarized writing assignments.

Any suggestions?

I've found good suggestions in Cliff's Notes, or at least suggestions that are a good start from which you could formulate you own questions. Our public has Cliff's Notes on many classics.

Peace,
Nancy

I only have a minute, but here are a few of my favorite websites for free literature study guides. There are essay question ideas in all of them, I believe:

http://www.nt.net/~torino/novels3.html

http://www.glencoe.com/sec/literature/litlibrary/

http://www.bibliomania.com/1/frameset.html

This final one is an online "Cliffs' Notes" but there are essay questions and ideas at the end of all of them:

I just love how I come to 4Real and often the answers I seek are here

I'm currently searching for essay questions for my dd17 based on the literature novels I have assigned her.

Thought I'd add some more sites I have found.
