Dracula

Bram Stoker

1847-1912

Mysterious and tormented. that's what we know about Bram Stoker, the creator of Dracula. And, indeed, that is how he must have been to imagine such a bloodthirsty creature. 104 years later, the author is perhaps not so well remembered but Dracula is certainly still as famous as ever. It's a case of a character that has "eliminated" its author!

Mark Twain

1835-1910

The aurhor spent his childhood in a little town next to the river Mississippi, and he left school when he was 12 years old. He was a typographer, a steamboat pilot, and a gold digger, before becoming the most famous American writer of his time.

Going West

In the spring of 1835, in a modest house in a little town next to the river Salt, in the state of Missouri, a little boy was born. His parents, John and Jane Clemens, called him Samuel; it was their fifth child. The Clemens family had emigrated from the state of Tennessee hoping to start a new life in the West. Like many other thousands of Americans at the time, they had traveled to the "frontier", on the border of "civilized" America, and they had entered the great unknown territories.

All those pioneers dreamt of colonizing the plains, the mountains and the woods of the West, where the Indians still lived in freedom.

Writing unit 9

Hi,
My name's is Júlia Vila and I live South London. I like the area where I live, so I want to improve it.

My opinion the young people spend all their time hanging around on the street. There are sometimes problems with vandalism and graffiti. There aren't any facilities for them.

I think there isn't anywhere fot young people to go.
I'm sure they must have some a youth café, and the people go there.

Júlia Vila.
