Texts with a sarcastic or unreliable narrator

Letters written in a sarcastic tone or with an unreliable narrator. The reader must “read between the lines” to understand what is really being said. There is a short text and a corresponding set of comprehension questions.

These texts might be useful if you were working on tone, narrator voice or character, the manipulation of the reader, or the use of humour, sarcasm or insincerity in writing. Good models for ‘greater depth’ writers.
