Today in "Hurumanut 4" we had to read a book of our choice and answer some questions about it. The book I chose is called "Benny" it's about 2 friends one is short and skinny and Benny is tall and muscular. They always bomb off of the jetty and try and flip the kayaks going underneath or near the jetty. Benny doesn't want to do the bombing this time but the other kid is too small. They have an argument and Benny pushed the other kid off the jetty and the Kid in the Kayak gets flipped under and his mother has a spaz at Benny. They hear police sirens and run to the hills. The other kid walks up to Benny and hugs him, Benny is crying. He says "I'm not stupid" and runs away. Once we had finished reading we had to answer some questions. Here are the questions, Feel Free To Comment!
#1 What are some of the differences between Benny and His Friend?
Benny Is Tall and Muscular with ginger hair. But his friend is short and skinny with black hair.
#2 How does Benny's Friend feel about Benny's new house?
He thinks is cool with all of the techy stuff like the security cameras and the electric gate.
#3 How did the boy's mother feel about the incident? Do you think her reactions are Justified? Why/WhyNot. I think she overreacted a little bit with all of the swearing but everything else she did right. She probably felt a little bit shocked and scared for her boy's life.
#4 What is the author's purpose of writing this text? How do you know?
To Be Honest I'm not quite sure why the author wrote this text. Maybe "Don't Tip Kayaks Over"?
#5 What themes are explored in this text?
Mountains, Jetty, Beach, House.
