Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’ It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.

Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’ This extract is taken from Chapter Five of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein. Read the final section of the extract again: It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. Using your inference and deduction skills try to answer the following questions: Does the narrator sound energetic or exhausted? Explain your answer. Does the creature appear attractive? Explain your opinion. What do the words ‘breathed hard’, ‘convulsive’ and ‘agitated’ suggest?

‘Street Trash: Beggars of Britain’ This is the title of the article... What do you think the article is going to be about?

Extracting information Questions 1) Look at paragraph 4 Write down three other taboos Parson mentions. 2) Look at paragraph 7, In your own words, explain why the writer thinks begging is a bad thing.

Imagery Questions Look at paragraph 7, pick out an image that tells you that the writer thinks that beggars are a drain on society. Explain how effective you find the simile in paragraph 7

Sentence structure questions Explain how the writer uses sentence structure in paragraph 4 to put his point across. Explain the effect of the repetition in the first paragraph.
