Mr Gum and the Cherry Tree- an analysis by Declan

Good evening and welcome to a tale of forests! Of legendary beasts! Of dreadful villains! Of caterpillars called Graham! And of a great big BEEFER of a cherry tree! But what dark secrets are hidden in that tree, where the leaves grow thick and green? Polly intends to find out by finding out.What will she find out? Find out by reading this book and you'll find out!

It started off in a town called Lamonic Bibber,it was all quiet until old granny came shouting down the street "THE OLD WAYS ARE BACK!"
Every body gathered around Old Granny and she shouted again "THE OLD WAYS ARE BACK!" Suddenly she said, "FOLLOW ME AND I WILL SHOW YOU, COME ON LETS GO"
And so they did chanting all the way "THE OLD WAYS ARE BACK,THE OLD WAYS ARE BACK,THE OLD WAYS ARE BACK."

I think that this piece of writing shows that the townsfolk believed and trusted Old Granny even though she appears to be a bit crazy or drunk!
So far I have found this book to be a bit out of control because there is a lot going on. The townsfolk appear to be a bit dumb and I am not sure if Runtus is real!
