    Q1
    What have you learned about Ade’s mum so far?
    One thing I know about Ade’s mum is that she never goes outside.
    Q2
    What do you think is the matter with Ade’s mum?
    I think that the matter with Ade’s mum is that she got really hurt.
    Q3
    What is your evidence for thinking this?
    My evidence is that when I was reading the book it said that Mum was crying a lot when Ade came home.
    Q4
    What would you advise Ade’s Mum to do?
    I would tell her to go to the Hospital so she can stop feeling the pain from when she got hurt.
    Irritable-having or showing a tendency to be easily annoyed. Anxiety- feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease about something with an uncertain outcome.
    Apprehensive -anxious or fearful that something bad or unpleasant will happen. Traumatic-deeply disturbing or distressing.
    My thoughts on what are bluches
    I think bluches are these weird looking branches that are really spiky and can hurt someone really bad.

      Some really good advice Myiesha! The Bluchers do sound scary! I wonder what the next chapters will reveal about them.

    That Ades mum doesn’t go outside.
    I think that she’s hurt.
    Because she was sobbing a lot when Ade came home .
    I would advise her to still go outside , go for medical authorities , and if it was necessery like you were beaten up, tell the police .

      I wonder what she has been hurt by? Do you think it’s the Bluchers? Some good advice Zaynab. Looking forward to hearing the next chapters.
