1.­ Write about Paul and Don´s relationship focusing on the similarities and differences between both characters.

Paul and Don are old friends. In my opinion, they have a lot of things in common.

Both of them work with planes because they are pilots, although during the last year Don has flown around the beautiful islands of the Pacific Ocean and Paul hasn´t flown out of Australia, he has covered long distances into Australia.

Paul is married and he hasn´t children and Don has a daughter called Judy but he divorced one year ago.

They are very good friends and they get on very well. I think Don is more of a dreamer than Paul.

As for appearance, I imagine they are different; I think that Paul is quite tall and slim, with short brown curly hair. On the other hand, I imagine that Don is medium height, with grey hair and a moustache.

2.­ Which character have you liked the least? Give reason for your answer including a description of the character.

The character that I have liked the least is Patrick Forsha; he is a businessman and Sylvia´s boyfriend. Sylvia is Don´s ex­wife. According to the text, Patrick is a tall man with shiny black hair and he often wears suits. He has problems with his businesses and he needs a lot of money to save them. He decides to carry on an illegal business with other people and he puts in danger the lives of Paul, Don and Judy. He gives Judy (Don and Sylvia´s daughter) a lot of expensive presents, for example: a horse, a perfume... because he wants to get on well with her.

Write a different ending to the story.

3.­ Judy proves to be a very brave girl during the story. Why? According to the story, Judy was a teenager when her parents got divorced. She went to live with her mother in a farm after the divorce. She didn´t see her father during the next year after the divorce and she felt unhappy. Then her father came back to Australia from the Pacific Islands and she went with him and Paul on a trip by plane, but the trip was very difficult and dangerous. The plane crashed and Paul, who was like a grandfather for Judy, died and Don broke his leg. When this happened, Judy had to look for help to save her father but she was alone. When the businessmen found Judy, she realised that she was in danger because they wanted to find the crashed plane and kill the survivors of the accident. Finally she got to find a friend, Joe (a Murri boy), and they could to save her father.

This incredible adventure proves that Judy was a very brave teenager.
