Because his birthday went badly. Prakash is sympathetic.
ReplyDeleteI think Prakash wants to be friends with Lenny because no one was nice to him. Also Prakash is nice and wants tobe a friendly person. Like when Prakash went to Lenny's house he was smart not to call the police. So Lenny wouldn't get in trouble if he didn't take the letter.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are that Parkash wants to be friends with Lenny b/c Prakash wants to make Lenny feel unlonely. I also think, like Darya said, that Lenny's b-day party went badly as a result Prakash felt sympathetic.

I think Prakash thinks Lenny feels very lonley. He says that he feels bad for him. It tells me that Prakash is a very nice person.
ReplyDeletePrakash is a very nice person he is also very friendly to lenny but like nevin said he was sypathethetic for lennys b-day.
ReplyDeleteI think Prakash cares for Lenny and is a very nice person! Like Prakash tried to do the bump with Lenny and that was very nice of Prakash to do that! Prakash tries to be friends with Lenny because he is lonely and she feels bad for him!!!
ReplyDeletePrakash tried to be friends with Lenny because he felt bad for him because his mother wasn't very caring and kids at their school made fun of him. He did this because he is caring and kind. But in the book Prakash said that he wished he hadn't invited Lenny over.

I think Prakash is nice to Lenny, although he was a little quick to judge Lenny. When they where walking home Prakash wished he had not invited him over. When the money was gone he first thought was Lenny. He probably should have thought it out for a while. Although he takes the chance to invite him over.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job thinking about this answer. Don't we all judge eachother for random reasons sometimes?! It hurts.
ReplyDeleteThat was me, by the way.
ReplyDeletePrakash was concerned for Lenny on his birthday and when his mom was beating him. He was concerned for himself when the Monopoly game was going on and he didn't want anyone to see Lenny for his own sake.
ReplyDeleteInteresting thoughts. Wouldn't it have been better for Lenny if Prakash embraced him......
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think he was embarrassed.
Have you ever covered up something because you were embarrassed?!
ReplyDeleteI think Prakash can sometimes feel very guilty. Like when he gave Lenny the Postal Order. Or when he invited Lenny to his house. Whan he feels guilty, he can only think about the bad side of his situation. He should look at the good side of the situation.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't give lenny the postal order……………he never did lenny took it himself from the television
DeleteAnswer: Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss (plus more s's. Or is it s'? Or s-s? Ss? Who knows?)
ReplyDeleteI have covered up this one thing in-
It's too embarassing!
I think Lonewolf is right.
ReplyDeleteI think Prakash is trying to be friends with lenny because none of the kids at school want to play with him and his clothes/house. Also because on his birthday they were going to play bumps....nobody would take his feet. This tells me that Lenny is kind to others but still doesn't want to get in trouble and be accused.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of somebody I know.....

Oh really Alex? Who?
ReplyDeletewho does it remind you of
ReplyDeletei think prakash was bring nice to lenny because he felt bad for lenny on his birthday noone gave him bumps or take his feet
ReplyDelete-zain majeed-
Lenny was nice not to steal the money.Because he was better than that.Though prakash got him knocked out he was still cool with hom.Whoever is cool like tha twould be a freind of mine too.
ReplyDeleteNo person should be mean to someone they dont know. Because very well one day that same person coul be your boss writing your paycheck, and then they could be mean to you and get their share of pain and hurt. But hopefully that wont happen to anyone.So whatever you do dont be mean to anybody. Because th earth is round whatever you do it comes back to you. Just like a yo-yo ball. And P.S.
ReplyDeleteBe nice to everyone and you will have some freinds.
