1. For a warm-up start with the crosswords below. After you’ve completed it, hit the ‘start over’ button and play it again (you’ll get a new set of words).
2. For those of you who don’t have the text with you, you can download it again here. Now, read the text again and underline the rhetorical devices used in this short story. You should particularly look for anaphoras, metaphors, similes and antitheses. This Glossary of Rhetorical Terms might help you to identify them. Try to think of how the author uses these devices to underline his message.
