Comparing the openings of Brighton Rock and ACO (homework from Fri 12th Feb)

Look again at Part One of both books. You should already have notes on the language of the start of BR and of course you will know ACO in some detail at this stage.

Now compare how both books begin: ACO (first 54pages) and BR (first 40 pages).

You should see this as a mini essay and whilst it won't be graded it will be marked. Divide your

essay into 3 parts (don't write an intro).
1 - The language of both books (you might want to use P-E-E-L)
2 - The central characters, Pinkie and Alex.
3 - The themes that are raised e.g. Morality and Violence.
