Try and be original with your work, Ensure you use a whole page, Level 6-7 use colour.‘It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful!--Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriance only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips.’ Mary Shelley, Frankenstein, 1823

GLOSSARYdun - dull, emptylustrous – shiny, glossyLuxuriance – richness, extravaganceShrivelled – shrunken, witheredToils – hard work, labour
