° Write about something happening in the book that you can relate. How did you react? Try to put yourself in the characters’ shoes and say why you think they feel the way they do.
In the book, Eddie keeps asking all the persons he meets a question: “Is the little girl he saved still alive?” But he hasn’t received an answer yet. When Eddie asked the blue man the question and the blue man said he couldn’t answer it, I felt sorry for Eddie. If I had been in this situation, I wouldn’t have been able to get this question out of my head and I think Eddie was similar, because he asked the question to the captain as well.
I ask myself how must Eddie feel if he doesn’t know if a person is still alive or not? If this human is healthy? And does this person still remember his/her life saver and does this person know his/her life saver? I think these are all questions you ask yourself only when you arrive in this situation and I hope very much for Eddie that the girl lives.
