Now, I am definitely not someone who would do this on a regular basis, but I am getting pressed for time and cannot afford a bad grade in any subject.

That said, can anyone tell me whether there were any discrepencies between Band of Brothers (book) and Band of Brothers (HBO miniseries)? I have seen the film multiple times, and I am reading the book as I type.

Unfortunately, I realize that I do not have time to finish before the friday due date. So I ask for your help.

Yeah, these threads never get any actual responses though man.

The best you can hope for is "Do your own homework!".

My advice? Bullcrap it. You'll at least get a C or so. Use it as a learning experience for next time.

While I haven't read the book I have heard that while it was implied in the movie that Spears definitely executed the German prisoners the book left that more open as a question. Hope that little thing helps.

Looks like you've got a lot of sleepless nights ahead of you. The ability to go for a week on 0-2 hours of sleep a night while still getting decent grades is the most valuable skill you can take with you to college.

Well, maybe organization and willpower should fit in there. But that's open for debate.

You guys are right...

To atone for my shameful actions, I intend to finish the book tonight, regardless of how long it takes.

I foresee much caffeine in my future...

Get some aderol(sp?) from a friend, and take a stacker2. You will have enough energy to lift a car. Or, a caffine pill and a sudiffed(sp?). It is decent.

Read faster. Pay more attention. Budget your time more wisely.

*grin*

I don't advise taking drugs (legal or otherwise). There's always the chance the substance will do the opposite to you (that happened to me--I slept through an all-nighter--sigh).

Deep breathing.

Frequent breaks to stretch your legs.

Yes that has happened to me as well. The aderol seems to lock your alertness from the time it cicks in. Of you are tired when you take it, the you will be tired unitl it wears off, even with sleep. However, I don't advise the first combo, for right now, I feel like my heart is going to explode. My mistake that will not be repeated. (I have to read Native Son)
