Hello: one and all

I have just been trying to do one of the exercises in English Literature. I found it very difficult and I am not entirely sure what it was all about.

If anyone wants to access it, go to the site below, and select the English option 14+ (refers to the age of the school children)

The exercise I tried was the "Cone Gatherers". Let me know how you get on.

The Cone-Gatherers
Conduct in-depth textual analysis of four extracts from Robin Jenkins' novel, The Cone-Gatherers, looking at themes, characters, style and structure.

It will give people something else to hate, as well as grammar.
