A review by pastelwriter
Dracula by Bram Stoker, Diane Mowat
dark
tense
fast-paced
3.0
Another read for work ✌🏼
Honestly, I read this mostly to start thinking of potential summative assignment ideas. I already knew I was going to pick this as a read for my ESL II students (even though I haven’t previously read Dracula). I just knew the vibes would be there 😂
The main reason this gets 3🌟 is because it’s (obviously) written in simpler English and GREATLY condensed the narrative of Dracula by Bram Stoker. Most of the tension is killed by how quickly issues get resolved. Still, I do think I can use it to teach students about foreshadowing and how authors create tension. So, in the end, worth it.
