Dear Students,
I truly congratulate you on your scrapbooks. There are a few more to come but I am so pleased and proud of you all I wanted to tell you. You have surprised me so much, and not because I thought that you were unable to make such beautiful scrapbooks, I knew you were, but because I also know you are so busy! Thank you so much.
You have made me so happy because a lot of you have enjoyed the book. It is a great story. I know you have had a difficult time identifying characters etc., but you will always remember having read Wuthering Heights and I am sure that some of you will reread it at some point. If you do so, please remember me. I hope I have transmitted to you all my love for Brontës, Austen, Shelley…I’ll keep you in my heart too.
