Chapter Seven: Father and son

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)

1. In My opinion, it means that Alex now understand, why his father left the family.
Tom felt relay hemmed in so that he travelled all over the world...
And the way I see it, Alex feel a little bit like his father did ,because Alex never thought that he miss his mother and friends in England.

Today I told Alex why I left him and I must admit that I was relay nervous about his reaction, but he said that he understand me and now I'm absolutely eased!
It is so nice to be together with Alex I missed him so much and he exceed all my expectations!
How do I deserve him?
