Adams Grandad from Adams starling



Adam's grandad lives in a hospital because his wife 'Eileen' died.Then he got very ill. He has Alzheimers. This is where he can't remember things and he finds it difficult to look after himself.
Grandad has quite big hands and has not got good eyesight. He has three daughters. Deirdre is one of them.
In the story she came into the hospital to see him,Adam was already there,she leaned over to give him a kiss but grandad did not recognise her and made her go away.Deirdre does not like it one bit. Adam really likes his grandad and thinks that he is really funny when he thinks funny things like;thinking that thay where in a train instead of a hospital,that he was in school and had to learn a poem before the teacher came back and he was in trouble for throwing stones in the yard and he thought the teacher was telling the master that they were bad. He thought that they were nine and that they would be in with the bigger boys next year .But Adam convisnced him that the teacher was saying good things to the master.
One time he was waiting for dinner to come. There was a pattern of fish on his plate and he was trying to eat it and called it 'tough meat'. I think Adam could not have stood up to Rory Brennan if it was not for his grandad. He helped him and told him to stand up for himself. When Adam stood up to Rory he kicked all his things around and ran out of the school with out permission and at first he did not know where he was going but then he realised he was going to grandad. Adam really loves his grandad.
