Which situation was most exciting or interesting?
Give your opinion in about 3-5 sentences (ONLY).
Then invite your blog team members (BTM) to give their opinion.
I think it was really exciting, that they become so famous and have a lot of success.

The 7th Chapter
After reading chapter 7:
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)

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. In my opinion the auther wanted to tell, that Alex now, after this discussion, can understand why his father left him and his mom. And that Alex have sometimes the same decision to make, not so important like Tom , but about the same thing.
2. Dear Diary,
Alex and me we had a real father and son time in the last days. We had a lot of fun and "adventures". But the most important thing is, that we finally talked about the things, wich we always wanted to talk about. His feelings were really mixed, he was sad and angry, he asked me the questions, which he always wanted to ask. Later, when I told him why I left him and his mom, it was like he understood my decision. Now everythin is clear

The 4th Chapter
Dani and Alex have their first disagreement. Why? What is it about? What is your opinion about it?
Their first disagreement is about penguins wich are watched of many tourists. Dani think that their cute and like to be in the spotlight. Alex' opinion is for me the right, he thinks that they look lost and afraid by being under the lights and cameraflashes. It isn't their natural environment.
