Adolfo Miller: Inocente o Culpable? (Innocent or Guilty)

November 18, 2007

During the first marking period, Ms. De Los Santos’ Spanish Native Language Arts class read “Adolfo Miller”, an intriguing short story that forces the reader to truly think. It allows the reader to come up with his or her own ending for the story. The story is about a man named Adolfo Miller who gains the respect and trust of another family who takes care of him for years, only to steal from them in the end…or did he?

Students were asked to write an essay in which they analyzed the story and determined for themselves whether or not Adolfo Miller was guilty. After writing these essays, the class decided to act out Adolfo Miller’s trial. Each student in the class had a role in the trial by pretending to be characters from the story.
