Book excerpt: From the author of Rebecca and The Birds: a classic thriller of shipwreck and murder, "rich in suspense and surprise" (New York Times Book Review). On a bitter November evening, young Mary Yellan journeys across the rainswept moors to Jamaica Inn in honor of her mother's dying request. When she arrives, the warning of the coachman begins to echo in her memory, for her aunt Patience cowers before hulking Uncle Joss Merlyn. Terrified of the inn's brooding power, Mary gradually finds herself ensnared in the dark schemes being enacted behind its crumbling walls -- and tempted to love a man she dares not trust. The inspiration for the 1939 Alfred Hitchcock film.

Download or read book AQA English Language Paper 1 Practice Papers written by Grainne Hallahan and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-08 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're at this point, you must be getting ready for your English language exams, so we have a few words of advice for you: Exams aren't bad. They're your opportunity to show off just how much you know about English--and you have been studying it since you were five, so you definitely know a thing or two! Don't worry about your exams--worry never changes anything--instead, try and see them as an opportunity to show off what you know. Practising exam papers is a good way to revise and, because this exam is still relatively new, there aren't that many past papers out there. The papers in this book have been created to try and replicate the exam experience for you. Some people might suggest using your literature texts for practice, but the whole point of this exam is that it is unseen: it's best to work on extracts you've never read before. There is more than one way to tackle an exam paper. You could sit it in one go and complete it in exam conditions from start to finish. You could go at the papers gently, with modelled examples in front of you to help (check out the videos at youtube.com/mrbruff). Another method is to try three question threes all in a row, slide tackling your way through the paper. You might want to complete all of the Section B questions before beginning Section A. However you do it, take your time, and use the indicative content at the end to check your work. The indicative content isn't everything. You might make a point that we haven't included. Marking your own work is quite difficult so, although these are good to practise on, you should share with someone who understands the marking system to mark your work and give you feedback. This book is not a guide to the exam: it is a set of practice papers. For a detailed question-by-question guide to AQA English language, you should pick up a copy of 'Mr Bruff's Guide to GCSE English Language' in paperback on Amazon, or eBook at mrbruff.com.

Download or read book Coming Up for Air written by George Orwell and published by epubli. This book was released on 2021-01-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Coming Up for Air" is the seventh book by English writer George Orwell, published in June 1939 by Victor Gollancz. It was written between 1938 and 1939 while Orwell spent time recuperating from illness in French Morocco, mainly in Marrakesh. He delivered the completed manuscript to Victor Gollancz upon his return to London in March 1939. The story follows George Bowling, a 45-year old husband, father, and insurance salesman, who foresees World War II and attempts to recapture idyllic childhood innocence and escape his dreary life by returning to Lower Binfield, his birthplace. The novel is comical and pessimistic, with its view that speculative builders, commercialism, and capitalism are killing the best of rural England and the existence of new, external threats.
