I have trouble with this schematic and all like it

Hextejas:
Thank you all for these explanations and I will study them at length.

BUT !

You missed my question. I have trouble wiring the breadboard. Reading a schematic and wiring the breadboard when parallel circuits are involved cause me troubles.

I wanted someone to do a breadboard of circuit A, then take a picture of it so I could see a good technique.
Series connections are simple, it's the parallel ones that give me a headache. Maybe google can help me but so far no joy.

Thanks again
BergRD:
Have you ever used the software Fritzing?  If not it may be something you could experiment with and can be found http://fritzing.org


It's a virtual breadboard (among other things) that lets you lay components out on the breadboard and connect them with virtual wires. 

Just going on what you've stated about it might be that you're not sure how a breadboard works? To save time and worries of everyone I won't go there but I/we can if you want.  It confuses many early on and myself included but once you know how the board layout corresponds to how you connect things; it becomes "easier" to follow diagrams to place and wire them.

For example, in the first below image from Fritzing this is 2 resistors in series and in the second image they are considered parallel.



Hextejas:
thank you Berg, that looks useful and I will give it a try

Just to expand on BergRD's breadboards -

* Each row of 5 holes are connected together as shown by the vertical green bars (I only did a few of them)
* The power bus holes are all connected together as shown by the horizontal green bars.  In the 'new' breadboards, each row of buses are broken in the middle (i.e. 4 groups on the top and 4 groups on the bottom if the entire board was shown).
