Chapte 9- all good tings come tto an end

Most of our predictions were right.
The band has no succes anymore,
and everything goes wrong, since they
saw the dolphins.
Does that mean there will be no
HAPPY END?! :-(

Chapter 8

In my opinion the most exiting and intrestig part is in Byron Bay
when Alex and Dani are standing on the top of the lighthouse
and the dolphins appear,
I like the way the author describes that part.
More intresting are the different opinions of
Alex and Dani, "exactly the opposite".
I agree with Alex.

Toms diaryentry

Dear diary, Friday,8 February

being with Alex is great!
It is fantastic to see how he enjoys the trip.
We´re getting closer and closer and I hope
that we will become something like best friends...
at one side, I feel bad because I left him, but
at the other I am glad that I did.
Anyway, hope we can forget the past
and enjoy the present.

chapter 7

I think this quote means that Alex does not want
grow up that quickly, too.
He knows how it does feel to become an adult.
I can imagine this is not very easy for some people.

first meeting

If you ask me, the first meeting between Alex and Tom, father and son,
would be emotional, maybe at the beginning a bit inhibited.
I could imagine that Tom would apologize himself and
that Alex would reproach him.

questions on questions

This is the best chapter of all the others (four) I have red yet.
Now, at last, I know that Tom does really exist and is not a phantom!!!

Here are my questions:
1.:What is a jack?

2.:Why did they argue?

3.:Why did Alex play a wrong note?

Eudyptula minor

The first disagreement between Alex and dina is about Pinguins!!!
Which is, in my opinion, just idiotic...

While Dina thinks that theese pinguins are cute,
when they bring the fish-supper to theyr babys,
Alex is almost shocked how they are put in spotlight.
To him they look lost and affraid.He asks if they enjoy that,
upon Dani answers:"I thought you liked beeing in the spotlight."(too)
Alex is upset and the two of them do not talk or even look at each other till the hotel.

I was a bit disappointed when I red that the first disagreement is just about pinguins...
I think Dinas reaction is unrealistic and unsuitable,
same that thay went to the summer beach at all.

chapter three- St. Mary"s Peak

When Alex and Kevin arrived at the peak
they talked about Tom which made Alex feel sad and angry
because Tom has found another family and because
Alex thinks that he doesn´t mean anything to Tom.
Then it began to rain and so they went back to the tent.
Later Alex had to think again on Tom. He remembered
that Tom should be back in Australia that day and Alex was glad not to
be with him. "LET HIM SEE HOW HE LIKES IT" he thought.

What does that mean?
Well, If you ask me Tom should feel what Alex felt
when he arrived in Australia.
Just to be disappointed and to feel not very important...

chapter two

In my opinion Alex´es first 66 hours in Australia were mostly exiting,
you know the body surfing and that liveact with Dina, but first of all they
began with disappointment and anger because his father went so often
to England and he did never visit or contact his son, who did not know
anything about him.

Chapter one

Reading the first chapter of "Australian Connection"
was very interesting, understandable and easy.
I am also interested in what will happen next,
because children (or youth) with devoiced parents
are an actuallyissue too.
How will Alex and his father Tom get along with each other
and which experiences is Alex is Alex going to make in Australia
