Regarding assistance in English or Literature
When asking for help regarding novels and other pieces of literature, these sources may be useful (but should not be substitutes in reading the novel):
1. Sparknotes - Today's Most Popular Study Guides.

Later, other subjects including, but not limited to math, health, physics, biology, chemistry, economics and sociology have been added. There is no charge for use; the site uses advertising for revenue.

2. Cliffs Notes - Test preparations.

In contrast, the company claims to promote the reading of the original work, and does not view the study guides as a substitute to the reading.
