Reading Log #2 : A Cool Head



A Cool Head by Ian Rankin                                                                                                   December 27,2013


Part 1
After reading this novel I felt that Benjy was very lucky to have a friend like Gravy. Even though Gravy sometimes commits mistakes, but still Gravy can keep secret for him.  I also salute gravy for his attitude, I guess Gravy already know that Benjy his friend was doing something suspicious. And even if he already knew it Gravy’s feelings toward Benjy never changed. I also praise Gravy because even though he was treated like a slave he always lowers his pride. And because of that I realized that even if some people are unschooled or uneducated they still have manners.


When I was in High School until now, I have this friend of mine named Jhoi, who I shared my secrets and feelings. I can say that there is an attitude of Gravy parallel to Jhoi. She always keeps my secrets and sometimes important things. There are times that I and Jhoi fight, not literally a fight,just a
sort of misunderstanding and we end up on not getting in touch to each other. But despite of that misunderstandings she still keeps my secrets. I could that she really is my friend.


I wonder why Stewart Renshaw wants his money back, that in first place he has his casino and business. And I also wonder why did Benjy steal the money? What’s the purpose? I also wonder why did he let Gravy hide the gun instead of the money. Did Benjy had any connection with Celine Watts? What will happen to Gravy when Celine gets back? Is he still going to hide the CD’S given by Celine?


I think Celine is going to show up and be with Gravy. I guess when she gets back she will explain all those things that happened, her intensions and plans. Maybe she and Gravy is going to continue what they’ve started. And I guess there will be no more Casinos for the Renshaws.





Part 2
Entry #10

My favorite part is when Gravy found a piece of paper inside the car used by Benjy and when he opens the paper, he saw a name of a woman, Celine Watts and her address. So Gravy was puzzled and get confused and instead of wasting time to cry over Benjy’s dead body she drove to the said address and find the woman named Celine.When she got there, someone paid to his attention and that was Celine. Gravy thought that the woman infront of him was able to answer his questions and explain what really is happening.But when he asked Celine if she knew Benjy the woman nodded and said that he didn’t know someone whos name is Benjy. When she look at the car she saw a bag, Gravy let her see what’s inside the bag and when she saw it was a money she smiled an evil smile.Gravy didn’t mind the money, but instead the other bag which Benjy let him to hide. Celine told Gravy that the money in bag is her’s and it was sent to her for her holidays. So Gravy never hesitated to give the money. She was suspicious but when he said again to Gravy that Benjy is her pal, it comforts Gravy. Celine let Gravy to drove her in Edinburgh. So he did. They stopped in one of the luxurious hotels in Edinburgh. Celine wants Gravy to stay in the hotel but in a separate room. Gravy agreed. They spent two or more days in the hotel, Nothing happened because they aren’t couples. So when the day come that Celine is going to move in London, she actually going to left Gravy, she bought a CD which was covered or the songs are owned by Celine Deon. She said that it is the only way Gravy can remember her. Celine kissed Gravy and Gravy love it.
When I’m going to predict I guess Celine is going to show up and be with Gravy. Gravy will surely like that and when she comes back. Everything will now be clear to Gravy, the death, the money in the one bag, and the Baklava and a gun in the other. I guess She will explain to Gravy what happened what the relation between her and Benjy.
