The Sugar Glider

What’s the relationship between Don and Sylvia like? How does it change from the beginning to the end of this story? What do you think it will be like in the future?

The relationship between the couple at the beginning of the story isn’t very good. During the story both, Don as Sylvia, realize the mistakes that they have committed in their relationship as couple. Don, with the pass of the time and in the critical situation in which he is, realizes how much he loves Silvia and he wants to spend the rest of his life with her and their daughter, Judy. He is sorry because he has spent a lot of time with the planes and flying but he hasn’t spent much time with his family. Silvia also realizes that there is still love between her and Don to try to be a happy family.

If you want my honest opinion, they could be very happy. There is love between Don and Sylvia and the relationship between the couple and Judy has been recovered. They can be a happy family and enjoy life.

Who has been your favourite character in this story? Give reason for your answer, including a description of that character.

My favourite character is Judy. In the story Judy is a very intelligent, mature, strong and courageous girl. She is a person who is interested in things because she asks her father all things that she doesn’t understand. She gives many ideas, for example, about how to ride the wild horses. She knows how to control in panic situations, for example during the accident. She is very familiar, she has always wanted her parents to be together. For all these reasons she is my favourite character.

Judy proves to be a very brave girl during the story. Why?

Judy was a brave girl during the story because she knew how to dominate (her) panic. For example, after the accident, she saw her father's friend died. She spent days lost in the jungle waiting for someone to find them. She rode wild horses. When her father fell from the horse she had to go to get help. She had to travel with offenders to find uranium, knowing they were carrying guns. Then she had to jump from the plane of Forsha. For all those reasons ... this girl was very brave.
