THINK IT THROUGH:
1- WHAT IS THE TERRAPIN DOING AS GRANDPA LEAVES?
The terrapin reaction as Grandpa leaves was twisted his wrinkled neck without moving his big body, poking his head deeper into the April wind holding one eye on Grandpa shining in the sinking sunlight.
2- GRANDPA CALLS THE TERRAPIN HIS "OLD FRIEND". WHAT DO YOU THINK HE AND THE TERRAPIN HAVE IN COMMON?
I think he and the terrapin have in common is the age because,the terrapin has spent the winters under a smokehouse for fifteen years and they had seen the Aprils pass like Grandpa had seen them and if he enjoyed them like Grandpa was enjoying that April.
3- HAS THE BOY'S ATTITUDE TOWARD HIS GRANDFATHER CHANGED? SUPPORT YOUR OPINION WITH EXAMPLES.
The boy's attitude toward his grandfather changed wondering how his grandfather keep that close relationship with the same terrapin for fifteen years. Moreover, the boy got a surprise as hearing his grandfather talking with the turtle that the terrapin has been eating tomatoes from his grandpa's garden for fifteen years and the grandfather talking with the same terrapin understanding his expression as grandpa's speaks with him.
