//'Tomorrow when dad calms down i’ll own up. Tell him the truth. He might laugh. He might cry. He might strangle me, but i have to put him out of his misery.' //======

Andrew dad has two faults, one is that he has to kill any fly he sees, the other is that he is obsessive about Andrew’s table manners. One day Andrew’s dad takes up the challenge of not telling Andrew off at the dinner table for a whole day. Unfortunantly, andrew overhears the bet and decides to make it difficult for his dad. What better day to start than today? His father’s boss is comming to dinner and wants to discuss a promotion at work. Andrew makes hasty plans to annoy his father. He slurps his soup, eats chicken off the bone and burps in the boss’ face. His father still kept on his poker face and didnt say anything. Andrew decideds to push him over the edge... He grabs his dad’s favourite fly-swatter and licks it! His dad’s boss runs into the kitchen and is violently ill. Andrew didn’t get a chance to say that the fly-swatter was brand new and the dead flys were currants and licorice. His dad is furious and andrew runs up to his room to wait for his dad to calm bown, before he tels him the truth  <span style="color: rgb(162, 13, 227);">. **Part 3- Lenae Mitilineos** in this book it talks about a young boy trying to get back at his father for all the times he had yelled at him. his father takes up the bet of not yelling at him for ne dinner, and the son tries to take advantage of this bet. i think if any of us were in the same situation, we would try to take advantage of our parents aswell. We will gladly take any consequence our parents give us, as long as we have a little bit of fun before hand, thats okay with me.

'tomorrow wen dad calms down, ill own up. tell him the truth. he might laugh. he might cry. he might strangle me, but i have to put him out of his misery.' pg1, chp.1- Licked by Paul Jennngs I think at one stage in any kid's life they have done something so bad that they almost have to wait a few hours for their parents to calm down. this sentence relates to that because, Andrew has just embarresed his father in front of his boss, and ghis father was extremely angry with him.

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">Part 4- Sabrine Navarro <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">**What is the main event?** The main event was that Andrew's Dad's boss was coming to their house for dinner. Andrew's Dad always picks on him about his manners and that night was no exception, but Andrew's Mum made a deal with his Dad and promised that they wouldn't say one word about his manners at the dinner. At the dinner Andrew tries to get his Dad angry by displaying the worst type of manners in fornt of his family and his Dad's boss. I think Andrew behaved at the dinner the way he did, is because he always gets told off about his manners and when his dad makes a promise to not mention anything about his manners at the dinner i think that Andrew thinks that his dad can't keep his promise and that he will get angry at him anyway. if i was Andrew i wouldn't act the same way and instead of trying to make my dad get angry i would take advantage of the moment and show my dad that i can go through a dinner without getting told off about my manners. The message of the story is that no matter what you need to have manner, because you won't be treated with much respect if you don't. the connection to the outside world today to the book is that many parents are trying to teach their kids manners, how to respect another, how to eat in front of another etc. many kids get told off by their parents if they don't apply what they have been taught to a real life situation and when they don't apply it as often their, parents start to lose their trust in them and start to expect that their child won't apply those manners. and just like the book some kids get a chance to show off to their parents that they really do have those manners, some chose to take advantage of that opportunity and some just have a bit of fun and chose to do the exact same thing that Andrew did. book: licked pg:4 paragraph:2 this part of the story shows that when a kid gets a chance to impress they don't just have the chance to impress but they also have the chance to have a bit of fun. When your an adult you'll definitely chose to impress but as a kid your mind works in a different way and a chance to have a bit of fun will probably come out the winner in most situations. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 255); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size: 80%; color: rgb(142, 0, 255);"> QUESTION 2: (Natasha) <span style="color: rgb(63, 0, 255);"><span style="font-size: 70%; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Vocabulary (words not in the short story) Stalwart: strong and brave Fickle: changeable in friendship or interest.

The short story is similar to the outside world as everyday you hear people using their manners, and I use them in everyday life also. An event that occurred to me was when I didn’t use manners or show respect and I suffered the consequences of not being able to do what I wished to do. Though on the other hand there is also a limit of parents having to comment on every move, when we want to have a bit of fun. <span style="color: rgb(142, 0, 255); font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">QUESTION 5: (Natasha) <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">‘I pick up the fly swat and start to lick it. I lick it like an ice-cream. A bit of chewy brown goo comes off on my tongue. I swallow it quickly. Then I crunch a bit of crispy black stuff.’ Licked – Paul Jennings p.6 chp.4 <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 255); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This part of the short story shows how much effort Andrew put into making his dad crack in front of his boss, at the dinner table.
