3-Describe the educational or social value of this website :
SparkNotes love the educational subjects and write about them—it
publish study aids to enhance and encourage learning, never to substitute
for careful, thorough reading of class materials. I think that SparkNotes
are an excellent way to supplement our understanding of great works of
literature, which can often be extremely confusing. It have always aimed
to support and improve education, not undermine it.
I believe that the content of SparkNotes reflects this philosophy—it's
analysis sections are detailed and longer than it's summaries, and the
supplementary sections, such as "Character Analysis" and "Themes,
Motifs, and Symbols" are scholarly secondary material that can be
invaluable when developing paper ideas or writing papers. SparkNotes
are there to help us understand literature—not as a substitute for it.
