Remember to support your ideas with details from the writing. Read this passage from Journey (by Patricia Grace), and then answer the question that follows it: There's no sense, no sense in anything, but what use telling that to George when George already knew sitting beside him wordless. What use telling George you go empty handed and leave nothing behind, when George had always been empty handed, had never wanted anything except to have nothing. How are you son? All right Uncle. Nothing else to say. Only sitting until it was late enough to go. Going, not limping, and not going to die either. There you are old man, get your feet in under that heater. Got her all warmed up for you. Yes young fulla that's the story. The weather's not so good. Not the best. How was your day all told? All right. It's all those hard footpaths, and all the walking that gives people sore feet, that's what makes your legs tired. There's a lot of walking about in that place. You didn't use the buses? Never use the buses. But you got your business done? All done. Nothing left to do. That's good then isn't it? How's your day been young fulla? A proper circus. Must be this weather. It's the weather, always the same in this weather. This is your last trip for the day is it? A couple of trains to meet after tea and then I finish. Home to have a look at the telly. For a while, but there's an early job in the morning ... Drop me off at the bottom young fulla. I'm in no hurry. Get off home to your wife and kids. No, no, there's a bad wind out there, we'll get you to your door. Right to your door, you've done your walking for the day. Besides I always enjoy the sight of your garden, you must have green fingers old man. It keeps me bent over but it gives us plenty. When you come for Minnie on Tuesday I'll have a couple of cabbages and a few swedes for you. Great, really great. I'm no gardener myself. Almost too dark to see. Never mind I had a good look this morning, you've got it all laid out neat as a pin. Neat as a pin old man. And here we are. One step away from your front door. You can get off home for tea. You're all right old man? Right as rain young fulla, couldn't be better. I'll get along then. Tuesday. Now he could get in and close the door behind him and walk without limping to the lavatory because he badly needs a pee. And when he came out of the bathroom they were watching him, they were stoking up the fire and putting things on the table. They were looking at his face. Seated at the table they were trying not to look at his face, they were trying to talk about unimportant things, there was a bad wind today and it's going to be a rough night. Tamatea Whakapau. It must have been cold in town. Heaters were on in the train. And the train, was it on time? Right on the minute. What about the one coming home? Had to wait a while for the one coming home. At the railway station, you waited at the railway station? And I saw George. George, how's George? George is all right, he's just the same. Maisie said he's joined up with a gang and he doesn't wash. She said he's got a big war sign on his jacket and won't go to work. They get themselves into trouble she said and they all go round dirty. George is no different, he's just the same. They were quiet then wondering if he would say anything else, then after a while they knew he wouldn't. But later that evening as though to put an end to some silent discussion that they may have been having he told them it wasn't safe and they weren't to put him in the ground. When I go you're not to put me in the ground, do you hear. He was an old man and his foot was giving him hell, and he was shouting at them while they sat hurting. Burn me up I tell you, it's not safe in the ground, you'll know all about it if you put me in the ground. Do you hear? Some other time, we'll talk about it. Some other time is now and it's all said. When I go, burn me up, no one's going to mess about with me when I'm gone. He turned into his bedroom and shut the door. He sat on the edge of his bed for a long time looking at the palms of his hands.
