  2. #1 I think he was surprised to see his mum not his nanny.
    #2 I think the authors intentions were to create saddness in the story.
    #3 I think he meant not being tough.
    #4 I think it isn't fair that a 6 year old should be in charge.

  3. 1. Peekay must have been going through a lot of emotion happy that he was reunited with his mother but also sad that it wasn’t his nanny

    2. The author’s intention for this part of the story was to make the reader fell sad for peekay for losing his friends on the farm

    3. When peekay said dropping his camouflage he was meaning that he would not be scared and stands out.

    4. It is not very fear for peekay to be ordering the 12 year old girls around as he is younger and that he is going to pick up on this and it will become a habit then getting older he will think that he has the right to order older people around.

  4. 1- I think that Peekay felt happy that his mother was back but also upset that his Nanny wasn’t.

    2- I think that the author was trying to make you realise what Peekay has gone through and understand how Peekay feels.

    3- I think that it means that he felt more confident and thought that he could achieve more than when he was really shy.

    4- I think that it is wrong for anyone to have to be a servant. I think that Peeky being a six year old shouldn’t have the choice of someone doing everything for him because, he will never realise that it is wrong.

  6. 1. I think that Peekay was surprised to see his mum there but was also sad about not seeing his nanny.
    2. I think that the authors intentions on writing this story was to make people feel sorry for Peekay and to feel what he had been going.
    3.
    4.I think that the girls should not be slaves because it’s cruel. Peekay shouldn’t be allowed to have that responsibility because he is too young.

  7. 1. I think that Peekay was a little disappointed when he saw his mother because he thought that all the trouble would be over when he saw his nanny.

    2. I think that the authors intentions for writing that part of the story was to make you realise that life doesn't always work out the way you want it to and the author might of been trying to make you feel sad for Peekay.

    3. Peekay wasn't scared to be bullied any more so he got more confident and nearly dropped his camouflage


    4. I think that the 12 year olds that Peekay was bossing around didn't really mind working for Peekay and Peekay didn't ask much of them but now days you are taught to respect your elders.

  8. 1.I think that Peekay reacted funny at the train station because he was surprised. He was like this because he thought that he was getting picked up by his nanny.

  9. I think that a six year old boy being able to boss around two 12 year girls is not that fair as the two girls are double his age just because they are black dosent mean that they should be treated with disrespect.

  10. 1. I think that Peekay was a bit excited to see his Mum but he had missed his Nanny more and when he got told about not having his Nanny a bit of his life was torn.

    2. It was about Peekay getting used to a new life, meeting new people and adapting to a new lifestyle and it would be really hard for a 6 year old to adjust to all these things.

    3.I think that what he meant was that he was a little boy who was scared and was treated badly for that and he doesn’t want that to happen again so he’s got a camouflage and he doesn’t want it to drop or else people will know that he is a scared 6 year old boy.

    4. I think that it is mean and 12 year old girls shouldn’t have to be ordered by a 6 year old because they should be out there doing things that twelve year old girls do unless if they want to be servants for them than it’s not mean because they chose to do it.

    1.I think that Peekay’s reaction was really bad, but there was an explanation to this, being that he thought that his nanny was going to pick him up but then his mum did.
    2.The author’s intentions were to say like that things were going to change in Peekay’s life and they were going to be very big changes.
    3.I think that when Peekay says he is dropping his camouflage means like he was dropping where he was hiding a big secret.
    4.I think that it is kind of weird that a 6 year old boy is bossing around girls twice his age.It is just cruel.
