Updated with many new references, this entertaining book advises students on ways to enliven their essay assignments with vivid images, avoid the dull passive voice, and construct smooth, well-crafted sentences that flow together to create unified themes. Short quizzes called €œBrain Ticklers€ appear throughout the text. Titles in Barron€s <i> Painless Series </i> are written especially for middle school and high school students who are having a difficult time with a specific subject. In many cases, a student is confused by the subject€s complexity and details. Still other students simply finds a subject uninteresting, an attitude that usually results in lower grades. <i> Painless </i> titles offer informal, student-friendly approaches to each subject, emphasizing interesting details, supplementing the text with amusing insights, and outlining potential pitfalls clearly and step by step. Students begin to understand how disparate details all fit together to form a clear picture. Timelines, ideas for interesting projects, and €œBrain Tickler€ quizzes in many of these titles help to take the pain out of study and improve each student€s grades.
