In “How Many Apples Does Gladys Knight Have?” by A. Wolf, there is a very interesting subplot involving the question of how many Apples does Gladys Knight have. The main characters are two adults: Gladys Knight and her husband Steve (Butch Lemon). They have just received a surprise visit from their old friend Alice (Linda Emmerson), who shows them that they have won a large prize at a big party Gladys Knight attended some time ago. Now, they are wondering how they will get back from the party and to figure out what they will be able to eat.
It is revealed in the novel – that Gladys Knight has more than her share of Apples. This is a bit surprising, since she is an obese person. Her father keeps telling her to eat healthier and to lose weight, but she doesn’t listen. The fact that her father gave her the money for the trip seems to support this theory.
One of the other interesting things about – how many awards does Gladys Knight have been that she always seems to be very proud of her accomplishments. She brags to Steve about all the awards she has received and even brags about winning the Emmerson prize. This causes Steve to be suspicious about whether or not Alice is really telling the truth. He decides to track down the real winner and it turns out that Alice was the real winner.
The novel ends with a shocking twist – It is revealed that Gladys Knight made a deposit in her son’s college fund using her credit card. Her husband then discovers that the money was used to pay for an expensive dinner for the family. This shocks everybody, and soon we learn that it was Alice who had taken the money and used it for the dinner.
How many awards does Gladys Knight – have is a fun and interesting book about a woman who seems to always take everything in stride. However, one might wonder how much support she has for her husband and children. I think she is just too prideful to admit that she might need help financially. This book was enjoyable, though a little short.
I would recommend – this book to women who are still in high school because it teaches young women about responsibility and ambition while at the same time being very positive about a woman’s ability to achieve great things.
It is a great read and one that I would recommend to any women who have been struggling to keep up with the Joneses and wonder how many awards does Gladys Knight have. I think you will find it an enjoyable read.
