4/27/ Gilmore & GilmoreFrom YA to AP Elizabeth from Frankenstein and Addie from As I Lay Dying in my perspective are alike. They have similar feelings about their family. Elizabeth loves Victor and she was about to marry him before she was sadly murdered by the monster. Addie loves her family and she wants to live but unfortunately it was too late for her to go back and tell them how much she loves them. Elizabeth also was treated unfairly by Victor Frankenstein. She was not getting the attention as she should have been getting as an Engaged girlfriend. Victor was more focus on the monster. It seems as if he didn’t like Elizabeth, but he loves the monster more. Daniel: 10 th grade sample

4/27/ Gilmore & GilmoreFrom YA to AP The Great Depression began in 1929 and lasted until The years between dragged on like a child drags his foot when discovers a sticky clump of gum at the bottom of his shoe. In the novella Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck expresses these hardships through his characters. Hating someone and then losing him or her is a different form of feeling lost without a companion. Throughout the novella, Candy and Crooks have the constant desire for a companion, and are extremely jealous of George and Lennie, who always have each other’s back. When times are tough you do not need excess money or fancy cars, you simply need a good buddy or companion. Kelsey: 8 th grade sample

4/27/ Gilmore & GilmoreFrom YA to AP When a girl goes out on a date with a guy, her dad always acts really protective, and sometimes takes out the old hunting gun and begins to clean it just as the guy is about to ring the door bell. This act of saying, “Don’t mess with my daughter or else” is displayed in A Midsummer Night’s Dream but instead of taking out the old hunting gun Hermia’s father insists that she marry Demetrius instead of her true love Lysander or he will truly kill Hermia. A father’s over-protectiveness gets in the way of love like a deer in the way of a car, for the father steps out and directs the daughter to who she shall love thus stopping the daughter, but shortly following it results in a big crash. The result of this struggle for control is a long road that is never easy for the daughter for the wrath of a controlling father is not a pretty sight. Kelsey: 10 th grade sample
