Study+Literature

[|Spark Notes] allows the user to search for novels popularly read in high schools. This site gives an overall summary, a summary by chapter, a character analysis, and many other options on the left menu. While it does not give every detail of a book, it's a great tool for reviewing and comprehending text. Because the text is available online, you can also copy and paste it into a free text-to-speech program, such as [|Natural Reader], which will read out loud the text to you for better comprehension with the click of a button. Natural Reader also offers paid versions with more life-like voices.

[|Netflix] is a service that allows the user to pay a small monthly fee and order movies online that will be delivered to a person's home. Many movies are now also available to be streamed through the site. If you are the kind of learner that likes to see what is going on to be able to picture the words in your head more clearly, you are not alone. Many students in the past have expressed a desire to see the movie-version of a book first for this purpose.
