    Ben’s granny loved gangsta books.
    Ben thought it was odd thanks granny liked gantgsta books because he thought gangsta don’t live in bungalows ,they don’t play scrabble and probably do not smell of cabbage.
    I think Ben went to the plant pot and put all the cabbage soup in there because he hates cabbage or because he’s tired of having cabbage stuff nearly every single day.

    Silver:
    I think Ben didn’t tell the truth because he spilt the cabbage soup in the plant.
    He felt lonely because his friends where in a whole different class because he got moved down a year.
    Granny house shows she loves reading is because she has gangsta books nearly everywhere one is her house.

    Gold:
    I think granny will feel sad during the next part because when Ben was on the phone saying rude stuff about granny she was awake and heard everything.
    I think granny will say good I have more then after they play scramble then send Ben to his room to play.

    From the outside it looks dusty. It has vines coming down the house and a lamp shining through the window which has old net curtains. When you go in through the door to the living room Granny has lots of furniture like an old sofa and a chair and a 1960s tv, a table to eat at with the plant pot right next to the table. She has an old fashioned 1960s carpet with a pattern on it which was also dusty.

      There was piles of books everywhere and its smelt like cabbage soup everywhere. It also smelt like farts because granny is too old and doesn’t notice that that see farted. The odd thing was that Granny had gangster books everywhere, even in the bedroom. The booked were stacked on shelves and in little corners in the whole house. There was also game boxes of scrabble everywhere.

Granny will invite Ben every day for soup and he will hide it in different places because he does not like it. One day granny will find him putting all the soup in different places and everything becomes wet in the house. She will punish him by asking him to clean the house every day.

    There are interesting, thrilling, amazing gangster books filling her living room and her bedroom. Her books were stacked on her shelves, some on the windowsills, also in the corners of the room and in the dressing wardrobe. She has a smelly, old, warm fireplace to warm her house. She has a big broken tv that she does not watch on as she prefers reading instead. She also has a soggy plant pot that is filled with slimy green cabbage soup.

    also a Gangsta that’s why she reads Gangsta books

    Silver
    Clearly you could see that Ben does not like the soup because you saw him pour the soup in to the flower pot and when Granny gave the soup to him he was just mixing it all around and he was not eating eat
