If it's just for a school project about the book, you don't have anything to worry about. That warning is for people who would want to copy the WHOLE book (or parts of it) to sell for profit, or pass off as their own writing. You're doing neither. Hope you get an 'A'!

Answer 4
Since you aren't selling the poster, I don't see that there would be an issue. Just be sure to credit the quote, etc.

Answer 6
It's fine, I did it. Since your whole poster is about the book, no one is going to say anything. I agree with the other poster who said as long as you aren't copying all the pages and reselling the book.
