  3. Hi, I'm Marielena, I´m going to reply to question d.-
    Yes, I thought he was going to do what he said in one of the chapters, that he was going to walk with Liz on the beach and live with her.

  4. Hi, I´m Lissette! I´m going to reply to question d)
    I didn´t expect that Control was working with Mundt and the whole plan that Alec knew was fake. I did not like the cheesy ending of Liss and Alec because it is supposed to be a detective book and focus more on that jeje.

  5. Hi, my name is Ma. Grazia! I will answer question a. I think it was really risky to inform enemies about a walk in the forest or a lonely road because in this way you are telling them about a helpless position where you don´t have someone to back you up. It was kind of a risky move actually.

  6. Hi, I am Rafaella. I'm going to reply to question d, the ending was very unexpected. It is rare that the main character is killed so I expected that Alex was alive and he did not even go to jail.

  7. Hello. I'm Gabriela I'm going to reply question d) I expected a different ending, I thought that Alec and Liz would have a happy ever after or maybe they could scape from the enemies, also the writer didn't leave an open ending where the readers could imagine. But well it was astonishing and unexpected.

  9. Hi I'm Jorge Moreno and I'm going to answer the question (d). I honestly expected a less realistic and more fictional ending where everyone lived and created a master plan that defeated Mundt's master plan, but in the end I think it was a good story.

  10. Hi, I'm Anibal! I´m going to reply to question c).
    I think Alex didn´t know everything about the master plan because part of the plan was that Liz had to be killed (because the Circus knew she and Alec were lovers) and if Alec would have known that, he would have never continued with that.

  11. Hello, I´m Melissa, I´m going to reply question c), in general terms Alec was convinced about his ideals, his own plan, about the hate he and control had over Mundt. That is why he didn't know everything. He also trusted on his leader and the principals he gave him to train him.

  12. Hello everyone, I would like to write about the end of the book.
    The end of the book was not happy, but the whole story was really immersive and exciting, so what was just and necessary was a tragic ending, or at least I think so. What I enjoy the most is seeing Leamas expressing her feelings after being a strong character throughout the story. I enjoyed the ending.

  13. Hello! My name is Jessica! I'm going to reply to question a) I think that Leamas wansn't alert in that moment because in another time he has seen all details but in this he didn't. So, If I was Leamas I wouldn't go outside and walk so far with an enemy because my enemy have a chance to do anything with me even kill me, hide the proofs and hide my body

  14. Hi guys!! I'm Gema!! I'm going to reply to the question B, I consider that the proofs presented were consistently vital, all the details were in the plot and at the end in the tribunal explained how they connected the dots.
