  4. The brother's expression is like he's cheeky and he's a trouble maker. The author's expression is neutral I can tell because he's acting like one. The mum's expression is as though the dad has done one of those boring joke's. The dad's expression is like he is a bad person and tell's boring joke's

  7. The dad expression on his face means that he Is cheeky and funny his jokes isn't funny he was actually so lame and tells of his big son when it was harry's fault.The mom might be depressed but she does care for her family all the time and she loves her family it's because her family don't treat her nice.Harry is so cheeky all the time he lies to his daddy when it was his fault he even started fighting his big brother.

  11. I think the family don't like each other because they always fight whith each other and it looks like the dad really didn't want to go to the zoo because he is not in a mood and why Harry's big brother be's mean and so unkind to everyone and the when the two brothers fight with each other it reminds me of the other story's like Romulus and Remus because it is the same as the two brothers fight in the zoo.

  12. The dad thinks he looks like a very funny, the mum has a sad face, maybe because the animals are trapped in cages. The brother look very cheeky every time he punch him and then think he did it. The over brother looks very proud with him self he is very smart he looks very good and he is only the kid gets in trouble because of little brother.

  19. I think that the family don't really get along because the dad always blames the author I think the dad doesn't care about harry because he a always lets him do wath he wants he never yells at him maby he doesn't yell at Harry because he spoiled and also yong the mum is the opisit of the father becaus the dad doesn't really care about the animals but the mum cares about the animals when the mum said the zoo was for people I think she ment it's for the dad because he kept on behaving like he is the boss of the people maby that's what she ment

  22. the answer for the whole family to go to the zoo is £14 because child £2.00 and adult £5.00 so the answer for harry and me are £4.00 and mum and dad £10.00 so 10+4=14 never forget the units £14.00

  26. Harry's brother is sensible and never tells off his cheeky brother and harry is cheeky because he always tells lies on his brother because he doesn't want to get in trouble. Mum is sensitive because when they went to the zoo she said " poor thing "and dad tells very bad jokes and he argues and hurts peoples feelings even shouts as loud a lion cannot be a bit quite.
