1. Comment on the following quote: "And, of course, Alex understood only too well." (p.43, l.33) 2. Write a different ending of the chapter: "That night, when Alex had gone to sleep, TOM picked up his diary and began writing." (compare p.43, l.34f)
1. Alex always thought that he won't forgive his father for leaving him alone as a little child - until now. He starts to realize that his father left him alone with a reason. Tom's marriage with his mother was broken and he felt not adult enought for a family. He wanted to travel around the world.
Also, Alex enjoys traveling with his father and see places he've never been. Maybe, if he was in this situation, we would done the same.
2. That night, when Alex had gone to sleep, Tom picked up his diary and began writing.

"I met my lost son. He is a clever guy and has grown so fast, when I compare him with the little, curios boy, which I left.
Alex has been in Australia for a month and I'm sure that he likes to with me. We get to know eachother better every single day and I hope that he will trust me one day. He asked me why I left him. I told him the truth, my feelings deep inside. He seemed to understand.
Hopefully our realationship will deepen...."
My opinion: I really like this chapter and enjoyed reading it. It's fun to read how far they come around. Such a travel is always exciting and for example I imagined the isle where they stayed for a few days "like Robinson Crusoe".
Do you agree? Do you like reading this book so far?
