Poisonwood Bible Research Project question
I have to write a research project on something that is in The Poisonwood Bible, by Barbara Kingsolver. When we were picking topics last week, one of my friends said that Hippopotamus's were in the book, so I figured that Hippopotamus are cool, so I'll write about that. So now we have to write a summary of 3 sources that pertain to our topic, blablabla. For the opening part of the paper, we have to have a quote that "contains an allusion to your topic." Naturally, I haven't read the book, and I didn't even know hippo's were in it until my friend said so. So, do any of you guys know where I could get the text of Poisonwood Bible online, or do you happen to know what chapter it mentions hippo's in. I have the book, but obviously I'm not gonna go through every page to find it. Thanks for any help.

Re: Poisonwood Bible Research Project question
for your quote:
But Not the Hippopotamus - a children's storybook. Just use the title as the quote. for your grade: the apostrophe is used to indicate belonging, possession, ownership or word contraction. it is not used for the plural. several poker professionals are "pros," not "pro's." the plural for hippos can be hippopotamuses or hipopotami. both are correct. if something belongs to the hippo, it is hippopotamus' or hippopotamus's, with preference given to the former. - fighting the good fight against the wandering apostrophe - |

in that case you should fawn on the book. chances are you are up against a female mid-twenties grad student whose PhD thesis is not going well who loves The Poisonwood Bible. disagree at your peril.

Re: Poisonwood Bible Research Project question
but it is a good book...
Go to your library and grab King Leopold's Ghost. That should give you some context. |
