Literary Superlatives - Strictly for Fun!!!!

We did not do a final yearbook project for all of our literary texts, but I thought for one last bit of extra credit, you might enjoy coming up with the Senior Superlatives for the characters.
Think of creative ways to immortalize all of the literary characters (sans Mythology) that you have encountered this year. From And Then There Were None to Lord of the Flies, many characters would win some fun and interesting senior superlatives if they were high school students.



Hottest wheels? Dreamiest Date? Best hair? Most likely to end up in a straight jacket? Be ironic or serious, just be appropriate and have some fun!
