Why do you think that Matt is still so desperate to hang on to Elvis? Are friendships between kids and their pets important? ==== ====<span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="color: #ff0000; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">A1. <span style="display: block; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">I think Matt still wants Elvis so much because he let Elvis's Mum die and he didn't want Elvis to die too. <span style="color: #00ff00; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> <span style="color: #00ff00; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Q2. <span style="display: block; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Nick and Matt are close.

Matt's parents aren't good at getting along with each other. Write a list of the things that they disagree about. What could they do to improve how they get along?
====<span style="color: #00ffff; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">A3. Mary and Ray disagree with: Jazz's boyfriend being Craig, Mary likes clean things but Ray doesn't care about clean things, Mary doesn't care about Elvis but Ray does and Mary doesn't have faith in Turbo but Ray does. Q4. At the end of the story, Matt tells us that Elvis helped him to be brave and face life. He says that 'for a brief time he showed us all how to swim together.' This makes us sad because it suggests that Matt's family doesn't manage to stay together. It also makes us wonder what happens next. Write a short plot outline for what you think might happen to Elvis and Matt next.====

====<span style="color: #0000ff; display: block; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">A4. I think that Matt grows up and goes into races with Elvis. I think Nick turns into there manager. Jazz marrys Craig and they live together in Jazz's house.====
