  • 14-16

Students compare the opening lines of two novels and write 250 to 350 words on how each one works. All six texts are out of copyright in the United Kingdom, and each pairing sets a different focus — voice, irony, scale or the rules of the fictional world.

Sample question

Compare these two openings, focusing on **how each opening uses irony or self-description to place the narrator**. Write 250 to 350 words. Quote from both passages.
