If I didn't have 3 more things to do tonight I'd write a
Peter Nguyen inspired paper for you and hide my car.
I remember the book sucked big time. It was like a soap opera had won a pulitzer. It blew my mind. Basically it was pretty forgetable. Go with that theme for your paper Forgetable. That way you can expound on not knowing anything.
Otherwise
Wikipedia mothafucka! Do You Use It?!.
It's none of my business but are you trying to score a high school lit teacher or a high school lit student?
or both?
Edit: From the wikipedia article: "Largely forgotten during the Great Depression and World War II..." Told you. So in conjunction with what Matt says people had more important things to worry about; they forgot about this book. See this is a paper right here.
