My Reading Journal : 11/2/20: Author David Williams :

Summary 

At the beginning of the story, it started with a boy called Ben Complaining about and refusing to go to his grandmother's house. Ben and his family were on the way to his grandmother's house and he had complained and talked bad about his grandmother the whole way. Poor Ben didn’t like going to his grandma's house because he thinks that it's BORING there and her T.V doesn't even work. Ben was the only grandchild and he was one of the only people who visited his grandma. Ben's parents have their date nights every Friday and they were obsessed with watching Strictly stars Dancing live on stage. The part I had last read was Ben being at his Grandma’s house and eating Cabbage soup which was a usual routine for him.

2 interesting words I found

1. Slumped

2. Crestfallen

Summary:

Ben had stepped away from the table for a few minutes while his grandma went to the kitchen to grab something. Ben had tried to find a way to get rid of the cabbage soup because it was just too much for him, he had to tiptoe around without knocking the books over that were spread all over the floor. He found a pot in the corner of the room and had decided to tip the soup in the pot. Footsteps stepped into the dining room and he ran to the table as fast as he could. It was the next Friday and Ben was explaining how much he wanted to be a plumber, but his parents didn’t want him to be a plumber, they wanted him to be rich and famous, but the thoughts of him being a plumber gave him an even lower chance of being rich and famous. A couple streets away there was a little dairy that people from miles away would still come because the shopkeeper made everyone smile. He had a lot of deals but they were sort of a rip-off, like for example, buy 24 and get 1 free.

Summary.

After Ben was getting some offers from the shopkeeper, He kept complaining about how fast the week was going and how much he doesn’t wanna go to his grandma's house. “ All we ever do is eat things that have to include CABBAGE, cabbage soup, cabbage pie, Cabbage everything, and it gets worse, she found cabbage flavored chocolate for us to eat after dinner,” Ben said. The shopkeeper listened and told him not to take his grandma for granted And that it takes time to get along with people.” look just cause your grandma is old doesn't mean she's boring”.

Summary 

It was another boring friday where Ben had to go to his grandmas again. They and dinner and by the time they were done Ben was told to go to sleep. “ But usually I go to bed at 9pm its only 8pm,” said Ben. ‘ No no little one its time for bed, go brush your teeth and then granny will come and read you a bedtime story. Ben walked to the old and dusty bathroom where he found a single lonely towel and a bar of soap. “ Look for those of you that dont wanna brush your teeth don't, just pretend to. So first you turn off the tap, put a bite of toothpaste on your hand and then put water in your mouth and trace the water and toothpaste around your mouth, then spit it out, and lastly turn off the tap”.  BOOM

 Summary 8/3/21

It was time for Ben to go to sleep and his grandma had quickly but slowly crept into the little damp room and said, Ben quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, “ Ohh I was going to read you a story but you are already asleep. Ben had gotten out of bed and tried and ring his parents to get them to come and pick him up but without a surprise they said no. Ben thought he had sawn a shadow behind him but then it had disappeared, “  I hope that was granny, I hope she didn’t hear what I said.

Summary 9/3/21

It was morning time and granny wasn’t acting normal she was more quiet then usually,” what if she heard what I said. Said Ben. “ Here is your breakfast” Said granny,” your parents are about to come and pick you up”. “Ok,”  said Ben. Broom Broom Ben could hear the Engine of his mum's old car, he rushed out the door without saying a word. “ Don’t you want to come in for a cup of tea?” Asked granny. No, it's ok, said Ben's mum. They sped out of the old grey road on their way home.

16/3/21

Summary:

It was another boring day and usually on Friday, we had to go to his grandma's house. He got to his grandma's house and walked, wrote to the little room and read the magazine he brought with him from home. Ben knew that he couldn’t stay in the room all day, so he walked out to the living room and sat down. “  Scrabble time “ said grandma.  “ All right, I'm coming” said ben. After playing scrabble granny gave Ben some boiled eggs, Ben hated eggs and everytime he got an egg he would chuck them out the window when his grandma wasn’t looking. 

 

22/3/21:

Ben had remembered that granny had a bunch of cookies that she was hiding in the top draw in the kitchen he hoped out of his chair and went over to the draw and had a little peak, there it was the tin of cookies. The tin didn’t feel usually, and it didn’t feel like cookies. Ben opened up the tin and it was filled with jewels like diamonds, rings, necklaces, bracelets and more. Ben's parents were just about to pick him up. His parents were there, but as he got into the car and drove off Ben asked, “can I please stay at grannys again?”. His parents asked why but Ben had no reason, “i'll ask granny if you can stay again”. His dad then called his grandma but then she replied with “ sorry i'm going out”. 

29/3/21:

Ben had to find out more about granny and the tin. So when he got home he quickly waited until his parents were making dinner, and then it was time for him to sneak out. Ben quickly rushed out the door and jumped on to his bike and puddled as  fast as he could on his way to granny's house.

 “ I need to get home before they finish making dinner and before the dancing stars finish”. He went to  granny's house and hid in the bush, she walked out of the house and jumped onto her motor scooter.

30/3/21:

Granny was going very fast and he needed to catch up before he lost sight of her.  She finally stopped, and she stopped in front of a jewelry shop which was weird.  She grabbed a rock that was in her scooter basket and broke the window and jumped through it. “ no” Ben yelled. “ Ben What are you doing here?, are you stalking me?”, “Hurry up we have to get out of here before the cameras turn off”. “ how do you know when the cameras turn on?” asked Ben. “ There is a lot you don't know about boys”.
