Grammardog Guide to Great Expectations by Mary Jane McKinney Pdf
Grammardog Teacher's Guide contains 16 quizzes for this classic novel. All sentences are from the novel. Figurative language is abundant ("a haystack of buttered toast," "the closet whispered, the fireplace sighed," "a post office of a mouth," "so very blank and high was the dead wall of her face"). Allusions are drawn from mythology (Hercules, myrmidons, Telemachus, Cupid, Argus), religion (Noah's ark, Cain, Lord's Prayer) and literature (Hamlet, Coriolanus, Richard III, Anthony's oration in Julius Caesar, Timon of Athens).
