STOCKER, Bram. Dracula. Adaptation and activities by Janet Brosbey and Ruth Swan. Young adults ELI readers,1st edition. February 2013. 
 
 Bram Stoker started writing Dracula´s notes around 1890.The story happens in England and Transylvania, around 19th century. The Main Characters are Count Dracula, a mysterious man from Transylvania; Jonathan Harker, a young lawyer that is engaged with Mina; Mina is a young woman that is so kind and very smart; Lucy westenra, she´s Mina best friend and she loves Arthur Holmwood; Dr. John Seward, a young doctor, that is in love with Lucy Westenra; R.M.Reinfeld, one of Dr. Seward patient; Quincey Morris, a friend of Arthur and Dr. Seward, he also in love with Lucy; Arthur Holmwood, he loves Lucy, and Professor Van Helsing, he helps everyone in this story.
 The Main problem is when Dracula plans to immigrate to England to get more fresh blood after it ran out in Transylvania, and during the story, he ends up infecting some people, like Lucy; All of Lucy's lovers and their friends unite in a common cause: to kill vampire-Lucy so she can die a natural, peaceful death. After saving Lucy by killing her, they all agree to work together to kill Dracula himself.
 The Main conflict of the plot is resolved when Dracula realizes what they're up to and tries to escape to his home. Van Helsing and the rest of the "Crew of Light" chase him back to Transylvania, and eventually catch up to him just before he reaches Castle Dracula. There's a final fight in which Quincey Morris, one of the vampire-fighters, gets stabbed in the side. He stays alive long enough to help kill Dracula for good, and then dies a noble death. Mina is healed, and everyone else lives happily ever after.
 I really like this story, ‘cause it´s a challenge to the reader. All the story sometimes was very confusing because the format of it is in only in letters and journal entries. As a reader, I see the central conflict of the story is between man and his fears and everyone who comes in contact with him is intimidated and frightened by him.
