    Majority of books on the floor . Granny had a adoration for crime books with front covers filled with guns, cars and glamorous ladies. Although Granny was old, she had many vintage items in such a modern house. Furniture like: old sofas which could use some touching up with colour, a vintage 1960s TV with the greatest shows of the 1960s and cute yet dead flowers in plant pots (although Ben poured her old cabbage soup in one of them). Granny’s house wasn’t particularly bad. It was filled with the smell of cabbage and many pieces of scrabble scattered on the table.

  20. Minnah M.

    1. Ben granny loved reading and feeding ducks especially crime novel Ben was amazingly surprised at what granny said .
    2. Because he thought that his granny was boring and in the text that he told him self : why does she like gangsta books so much , gangsters don’t live in bungalows, gangsters don’t play scrabble and probably do not smell like cabbage.
    3. I think Ben throw the soup in the plant because it is made of cabbage and he said he was sick and he probably won’t be able to survive any more soup also l watched the movie and Ben looked like he
    was gonna barf .

    I knew that Ben was lying because of the look on Ben’s face when he first looked at the food (Because every time he goes to grannys house he gets cabbage soup ) and after he tasted it .It looked like he absolutely hated the food with all his heart .
    Ben felt lonely at school because he had no friends there it is probably also because he parents go to strictly dancing every day and left him to go to school so he went in school in a bad mood .

  24. Rahim A.

    Bronze : Granny loved books gangsta books are thiesfs and I think maybe ways to get some good and gold stuff if they tell the in the gangsta books the reason why Ben put his soup in the plant pot is because he didn’t like cabbage soup then throwed it away .silver : Ben did not like the cabbage soup at all he was trying to feel like he is enjoying it but he isn’t Ben was in school like any kid will and the teachers made him feel stupid in the school
