Tom and the look around
Why was Tom angry? Tom was angry because he did not want to spend time with his granddad. he wanted to be on technology and see his friends.
Did he handle his anger well? He handled some of his anger by yelling at his mum and then did it well by going fishing and being with his new friend the seal.
Is there anything he could have done differently? I think he could of just agreed to his mum and go to his granddads house and dealed it by fishing.
How did Tom feel when he began to calm down? He felt safe and and felt like the seal could trust him.
Is there similarities/differences between Tom's story and the Kekeno? In the story he said that is dad left him so i think that is what they have in similar is that one of there parents left them.
Can you relate to Tom in any way? I can not relate except for yelling at his mum i have done that but reading that story just made me realise to be nice to my mum and dad because i am lucky to have both of them.
