Into the rainforst - Chapter 6

First an introduction:

Before I read the chapter 6 I imagined the first conversation between Alex & Tom.

Perhaps they talk about their passed life without eachother. Tom could tell little storys remembering old times or could try to impress him with old anecdotes.

If I were in Alex' situation, I would make him criticicms why he left me alone for so long and why he never had the idea to contact me. As far as I'm concerned I would get very emotional. I would be angry, disappointed, sad and feel leave alone.

After read this chapter I noticed that my first forecast about their first talk wer rather different: Instead of telling about their past Tom jokes and laughts to make his son feel more comfortable and tries to be oncoming (page 31, line 18). Alex gets upset and angry (page 31, line 20).

My presumption that Alex shows his feelings was right (page 31, line 23). Tom defends his behavior because he thought that Alex would hate him (page 32, line 10-12).

At the end they decide to go on a travel to Queensland (page 33, line 7). After Alex had to disappoint Dani (page 33, line 18) they start their trip and get to know eachother better.
