You don't need to quote your novel i don't think. I never have anyway and i always to well

Luno

Just open the book and pick out a few relevant sentences but as Jackobyte said I don't see the need to quote your novel...

I think it is really important to quote the novel (not hard to learn of three or four quotes anyway!) to get the most marks you can.

Just find quotes relevant to things that will be asked, like certain lines said by characters to explain their personality, opinions etc (e.g Atticus, Scout) or lines about the theme (e.g Racism). Here are two I used in the christmas exam

'I think there just one kind of folk. Folks' ~ Scout Finch

'When its a white mans word against a black mans, the white man always wins. They're* ugly, but those are the facts of life' ~Atticus Finch

*incidentally, my english teacher once wrote this as 'there ugly' which isn't correct. I never said anything but I wish I had because some people might accidentally write it that way..

I'm in top honours (we have 120 English honours students; I'm in the top 30), and since first year we have been using quotes in all essays. I have sheets with perhaps 45 quotes in total for TKMB.

Personally, I can't imagine not using quotes.

To Kill a Mockingbird is needed to answer 1/2 of one question on one paper i.e. 8% of your JC English paper, so in fairness, there really is no need for pages and pages of quotes. The time spent trying to make a long list and learn it is not worth it.

Less than ten should do it. Make sure they can be used in a few ways - to show racism, childishness and some character traits. sparknotes is good: http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/mocking/quotes.html

Yea I agree for english and Irish if im ever refering to something I've always learned that your to quote it, its part of developing your point.
I dont have pages and pages of quotes, if I was to think of a certain time in a play/novel I kinda just remember some random sentence.. Also its completely not advised but if your really really stuck, try think of even a few words someone said at a time and make it into a sentence yourself. I had to do it once or twice just adding a few words of my own, it was never noticed!

Only when your desperatly stuck in the middle on an exam try it though, coz you could always get the examiner that knows what your trying to quote and knows you failed at quoting! :pac:

You're right, quotes are important for developing your point. However, you won't lose many marks for misquoting, the examiner isn't going to go through the book checking it.

For all that I have pages and pages of quotes; I don't actually know them all!
