PRACTICE QUESTION

“What does Wong Bak look like?”

information on pages 16-19

   Wong Bak was a very old man who had a "narrow torso" (16) and "broad shoulders". His broken body made him look like a "half-flopped puppet" (16) when he walked. The kids were surprised to see that he had a face that looked like the "carved wooden masks" (17) that they had seen for sale in stores. Nevertheless, despite his monstrous appearance, he turned out to be a very 

gentle and friendly elderly figure.

6/6 Excellent work!
