Excellent resource for building students' language analysis skills - I used this for a Language Paper 1 KS3 unit. The text itself is rich in language and literary devices. The whole short story is worth reading (also available on Google Books) and can be used for analysing structure, too.

I think it's great. Very useful. Thanks. It can also be adapted for use with other texts.

it might have taken some time to produce this resource but it is, unfortunately, pretty useless
