The Many Interpretations of Edgar

The vocabulary quiz was a success for all, and we copied down the next 10 words for our (possibly) last unit of vocabulary. After mourning the loss of our dear Elizabeth Lavenza, we watched movie trailers for the variants of filmed Frankensteins over the years: the 1931 bolts and lightning Karloff, the Bride and her hiss of disdain towards her new friend, the 1974 humor of Mel Brooks' spoof (I hope you know that Aerosmith borrowed the line "Walk This Way"), the oddity that is Frankenstein Unbound, and the 1994 high Romantic drama that is Kenneth Branagh's version.

For tomorrow, you should have the text completed, and you should be ready for your timed prose prompt.
