- The Great Gatsby Study Guide: After returning from military duty during the Great War, Nick Carraway feels restless and weary of his provincial Midwest life. Seeking new opportunities, he moves East to enter the bond market and soon finds himself living among the wealthy on Long Island. Nick reconnects with his cousin, Daisy Buchanan, and her husband, Tom. Through them, he meets the "incurably dishonest" Miss Baker, with whom he begins a romantic interest. Nick learns of Daisy's unhappiness and Tom's affair with Myrtle Wilson, a married woman.
Nick is drawn into their lives and becomes acquainted with Jay Gatsby, a man who still believes in the American Dream. As Nick and Gatsby are swept up by forces beyond their control, they face the consequences of materialism, deceit, and selfishness. - The Last of the Mohicans Study Guide: British Major Heyward sets out on a dangerous mission to escort the General's daughters through treacherous woodland, guided by an Indian scout. Their journey takes a dire turn as they fall into the hands of vengeful Hurons and their French allies. Salvation arrives through two Mohicans and the courageous white scout, Hawkeye. What follows is a relentless cycle of war, danger, and narrow escapes. The characters' quest for revenge, their fight for survival, and the profound losses they endure lead to an ultimate sacrifice that changes their lives forever.
- Old Man and the Sea Study Guide: After 84 days without catching a fish, Santiago's courage and perseverance drive him to continue fishing in his weather-beaten boat. Despite the hardship and disappointment, he remains undeterred. Amid ridicule from younger fishermen, Santiago finds strength in his friendship with Manolin, a young boy who has fished with him since he was five. However, due to Santiago's "bad luck," Manolin's parents forbid him from fishing with the old man anymore. But when Santiago goes out once more, further than usual, he catches something—something that pulls him and his boat out to sea.
- The Yearling Study Guide: Contrasting the quiet, peaceful lives of the Baxters, their nearest neighbors, the Forresters, are loud, argumentative, and prone to causing trouble. Young Jody Baxter is drawn to their zest for life and carefree ways. However, relations between the Baxters and the Forresters become strained when Penny and Jody intervene in a fight between Lem Forrester and a family friend.
When the Baxters' hogs go missing, Penny and Jody suspect their troublesome neighbors, the Forresters. Venturing into the scrub to search for the hogs, Penny is bitten by a rattlesnake and nearly dies. During his recovery, Penny allows Jody to adopt a motherless fawn. Jody names the fawn Flag, and it becomes his constant companion. The bond between Jody and Flag grows as they navigate the challenges of frontier life together.
