In The Merchant of Venice, the penniless but attractive Bassanio seeks, and finally wins, the hand of the fabulously wealthy Portia. But even as the play provokes laughter, it also provokes something disturbing, as Bassanio's courtship is actually financed by the magnificent villain Shylock the moneylender -- the focus of anti-Semitic sentiment, and one of the most controversial yet strangely sympathetic of Shakespeare's characters, whose actions and whose treatment in the play are still debated to this day.This simplified retelling of the Shakespearean comedy also includes activities related to the text.

Veľký Gatsby je najslávnejším románom F. S. Fitzgeralda. Dej príbehu je situovaný do 20. rokov 20. storočia, z obdobia prohibície a tzv. džezového veku v USA. Mladý zbohatlík James Gatz, prezývaný aj Veľký Gatsby, a krásna Daisy Buchananová prenikli do sfér lepšej spoločnosti každý po svojom a podobne sa vyrovnávajú aj s novým životným štýlom. Gatsby rozprávkovo zbohatne na ilegálnom obchode s alkoholom, do novej spoločností však nikdy nezapadne, lebo preňho majú ešte stále najvyššie hodnoty medziľudské vzťahy.
