Several scenes from Anne of Green Gables come to mind -- the one where Anne and Diana swear to be friends, and the one where Jane (I think? Or was it Ruby?) dares Anne to walk along the roof.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Because books.
How old are the students? She could either use Rochester persuading Jane to marry him, or from A Little Princess, the scene where Sara convinces Lottie to stop throwing a tantrum.

I think the equivalent of early high school. They're in England. As am I currently (in spirit anyway--on a conference call with Brits).

Too bad Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller aren't fiction. The spelling of the "w-a-t-e-r" scene would be perfect.

One day I will read Anne of Green Gables and A Little Princess. I love the Tom Sawyer idea. From what I know of his mum, she may too.

You've never read A Little Princess?! ::faints::
What about The Secret Garden?

Oh, I read that post. And then forgot I did. Sorry!
I think I remember one of the books you have pictured there, Christina Katerina and The Box. If not, I remember something a lot like it.

I still have that one. You know, if you ever come to visit.
