You could try to find someone who liked the book and pay them to write a report for you.
Just don't use anyone that writes papers for people professionally, or attended the same school as you, because YOU WILL GET CAUGHT.
Also, try to not get into the habit of doing this, especially if you want to become a Doctor, or any other profession where someone's life is in your hands, because you really need to pay attention in those classes.
You also need to pay attention, and do the work, when learning technical skills, such as engineering (all kinds), architecture, programming, IT, and
how to repair and/or create stuff, and so on.
Having a firm grasp on English is important, as are Maths and Sciences.
Ya don't want to accidentally blow yourself up, or accidentally make a poisonous gas with common household items.
You also need to be able to understand Investments (Manage your own money; don't get ripped off),
as well as be able to work out LxWxH, perimeters, areas, volumes, convert weights, and so on.
Call some house painters and ask for quotes. Next, go see how much paint costs.
You can do the same for landscaping, plumbing, and home electrical work.
Unless you are (or become) rich, you're gonna want to be able to handle your own lawn work, painting, and be able to do other home repairs.
Roofing, though... Minor repairs are easy, but redoing a whole roof is hard, hot, dangerous work.
A general understanding of Geography (how to use maps, and what states and countries are where; ya don't have to memorize every town) is also good.
However, reading boring books for an English Class is a waste of time.
If you can read, write, and spell, just fine, for most professions, that is enough.
Not every book can be enjoyed, or appreciated, by every person.
History is alright; a general understanding is more than enough to get by.
You will forget most of the Exact Dates of Important Stuff that Happened, before you were Born, unless you become a writer, or a teacher, or are fascinated by History.
You'll also need to understand the laws of your land, and how your political system works.
Before you travel, you can always go online and read about other countries laws and taboos.
Life is short. Do what you love, with passion, so long as it doesn't endanger anyone and/or land you in prison.
P.S. if you do get someone to write the report for you, tell no one, and DO NOT BRAG ABOUT IT ONLINE.
Some schools have revoked diplomas over cheating, even decades after the offense took place.
As far as "Efforts in Futility" supposedly getting you ready for the Real World, they rarely do.
Doing work/jobs you hate, and sticking with it because a loved one is counting on you, THAT builds Character.
It's all about your inner motivation, understanding what's at stake, and making the right decision.
Some of this post is directed at people younger than the OP.
Short Version: Only quit stuff when it will not negatively impact your future, or the futures of those you care about (if they are worth it; that judgement call is up to you).
