As a teacher of literature, I feel that my students cannot really understand the value of what they read until they start trying themselves at writing. In creating this blog, my aim is to offer them some space where they can share their own personal creative response to the texts we read and discuss in class. It should be noted that most of my students do not speak English as their first language. Yet, they are capable of writing amazing stories and poems. Because they are amazing students.

The Golem vs Mary Shelley's Creature
Today, one of my students (Nahar Sadian) told me that she saw many similarities between Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which we studied in class a few days ago, and the story of "The Golem of Prague", a Jewish tale that she knows well.
Would you like to learn more about that Jewish tale and think about the similarities between it and Shelley's work?
Here's a link to the story of the Golem:
