2.Wilf think Rock was talking about his wife,because he thought Belsen and Sandra was same person,and Rock said that “They were Sandra’s favourite flower.I could never understand why.Most people like roses or ‘mums or even petunias,but not hollyhocks.”so Wilf though Sandra is his wife.

When Wilf went out, Mr.Ranson said :”don’t let us drive you out” but his wife turned away,ignoring Wilf. And when Rock want say something, his mother always stopped him.

8.The flowers were like Rock, they were daed. And flower will be grow up
