I have reading a story call “All the Year of her Life” by Morley Callaghan. I think that Alfred, a boy in the story, is a bad boy because in the story tell that he had stolen a lipstick and at least two tubes of toothpaste in your pockets and he did this many times already but he still act that nothing happen and he didn’t do it but actually he did it many times already because in the story said that Mr. Carr was quick to answer, "So now you think you’ll tell me a lie, eh? What kind of fool do I look like? I don't know what goes on in my own store, eh? I tell you, you've been doing this for a long time." So this can show that Alfred had done stolen thing many times already so that is why Mr. Carr can tell. And when Mr. Carr, Alfred’s boss, called his mother to come to listen what his son did and that makes her mother feel sad.
While I have reading this story I used a reading strategy liked for example “Mrs. Higgins lifted the teacup her hand shook. And some of the tea splashed on the table. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old” so I try to picture of how her lips moved nervously, this make me feel like I am in the story. Another example “Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger. Maybe she would be crying and would push him away when he tried to explain to her. She would make him feel so small. Yet, he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called in a policeman. Alfred and Mr. Carr waited but said nothing. At last they heard someone at the closed door. Mr. Carr opened it and said, "Come in, Mrs. Higgins." His face was hard and serious.” First I predict that her mother will come with an angry feeling but it is opposite.
