Free Literature

Run over to the site I have noted below to grab some FREE Literature Downloads. Just in time for School! (for most getting back, I might add :))

Age Range: 11 and up (middle/high school level, with parental

guidance) 

This website offers free literature guides to help students analyze novels and plays. This site is similar to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes except the summary and analysis sections are side-by-side, making them easier to use. They are shorter than conventional guides, but have not sacrificed detail for brevity. These literature guides provide students with everything needed to better understand what they read, ace any tests and quizzes, and write analysis papers.


Heres what to do:
When you get to the site you'll see a menu of literature titles that include:
  • Animal Farm by George Orwell
  • Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
  • The Catcher In the Rye by J.D. Salinger
  • The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
  • Hamlet by Shakespeare
  • Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
  • Lord of the Flies by William Golding
  • Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
  • To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
You can view the guides online for free by clicking a title. A new page opens with the complete literature guide that includes:
  • Background Info
  • Plot Summary
  • Characters
  • Themes
  • Symbols
  • Quotes
  • Summary and Analysis by Chapter
You can also download the PDF of each one to view or print off for FREE!
