6 Word Memoir Riddles

How is this for fun?  Choose 4 characters from AP Literature and write their 6 word memoirs.  You must choose at least one character from Hamlet, but the rest are up to you.  When you comment on your classmate's post, take a guess about whom the memoirs are written.  Be creative!  Have fun!  And do not give us the answers.  You can reveal your characters in class on Monday.

  1. So these aren't all that great, and I am posting early, but here it goes anyway.

    Life, for me, is loving you

    Getting revenge doesn't always mean winning

    Sometimes friendships come from strange circumstances

    Extraordinary man, maybe; murderer most certainly

    2. Megan!

      I love the Raskolnikov one!! And the Sydney one. These were really really good. However, I am debating about your one. Is it Huck or Jim? Could be either I think. Nice job.

    1. So I think that the first is Esther and the third is Hamlet, but the other two are tough. Like I really don't know who to pick for them. I am stumped, but I will keep thinking. Nice job!

    2. Hmmm...

      I agree with Megan on the first as Esther.
      Is the second one Raskolnikov or someone from Crime and Punishment?
      The third one is either Hamlet or Raskolnikov. Haha.
      The last one is perhaps someone from Brideshead?
      They are very well written, nevertheless! Good job, Danielle!

    3. Third is Madame DeFarge
      Is the last one Rex?
      I am up in the air about the second one.
      The first one has to be Esther.

  4. Unpredictable, but will do something foolish

    Can somebody give me a mulligan!?

    The day breaks, World changes spontaneously

    Life's indecipherable, can't get a grip

    Good luck with the last two...

    1. Oh gosh, Matt! Ummm
      Polonius, perhaps, is the first one?
      I love your second one, but why can't I think of what it has to correspond with?
      I have no idea what your third one is! Haha
      Raskonlnikov or Svidrigailov maybe?

      This is challening, Matt Bobby! Good job!

    2. 1.) No idea
      2.) Drawing a blank on the name, but it is the man Raskolnikov meets in the bar maybe?
      3.) Sebastian
      4.) Raskolnikov

    1. Is the first Hamlet? Or maybe Raskolnikov...
      Your first two leave me a little confused but I'd definitively say that the third is Lucy and the last is Jim. These are so fun! Nice job! I'll keep thinking on your first two...
