1. What kind of language is used in the text? The way the grandparents spoke show that they can't speak good English, it's poorly spoken and I think because they didn't get an education. While the teacher uses good English and the teacher uses a long and specific sentence.
2. What is this text about, how do you know? This text is about the different perspectives of people and I know this because the teacher sees the butterflies as something that can't harm anything or anyone while the grandparents see the butterflies as pests or something that can ruin their plants.
3. What does the author want us to know? I think the author wants us to know that this is how life was back then for other people or the author wants us to know that everyone has their own perspective on things.
4. How are characters constructed in this text? The grandparents really care for their granddaughter, they love her and they believe in her. I think the granddaughter really wanted to work hard in school.
5. What kind of social realities does the text portray? I think the social realities portray is when Patricia Grace was growing up since the Maori people weren't treated nicely and fairly.
