“I don’t think you’re going to win this time,” says Rosie, trying to signify with her hands on her hips all salty, completely forgetting that I have whupped her behind many times for less salt than that.
When the bell rings once it signifies that it's break, when the bell rings twice that signifies that it's lunch time.
Prefer-to like better

Rowdy-loud and rough
The parkees unfolding chairs and chasing the rowdy kids from Lenox as if they had no right to be there.
The teenagers were being rowdy in the once peaceful park.
Slosh-clumsy
And sometimes after a rain he likes to step down off his tightrope right into the gutter and slosh around getting his shoes and cuffs wet.
Uptight-Being in a tense state
I’ll high-prance down 34th Street like a rodeo pony to keep my knees strong even if it does get my mother uptight so that she walks ahead like she’s not with me, don’t know me, is all by herself on a shopping trip, and I am somebody else’s crazy child.

is enough.

4) 'He was
wearing a new navy-blue overcoat, a new
brown trilby hat, and a new brown suit'
That is sight imagery, this helps us imagine Billy.
'The tea tasted faintly of bitter almonds'
This is taste imagery, this helps us imagine what the tea tasted like.
5) I think the landlady is a murderer and stuffs men and animals.
'the door swung open and a woman was standing there.' I think this means she is always there waiting for her new victims.
'I stuff all my little pets myself when they pass away.' This shows that she STUFFS animals when they die. This proofs that the landlady stuffs people.
6) I think the end is the climax of the story because the lady gives Billy that creepy smile.
7) The smell of burnt almonds is the smell of a poison that is deadly to humans. I appreciate the story more because of the small details that Roald Dahl put in.
8) I liked the ending because it leaves some mystery to the story. This way the reader can imagine what happens next.
