1. I think I would be Sue because I'm always looking for something new and challenging. I like to explore new things. Additionally, I also like to help people who needs my support and ask me for help.
2. Saul felt very disappointed in the beginning when Ruth was explaining him all about the dolphins and the Music Rooms because he thought everything on his virtual life was wonderful and perfect. When Ruth was telling him her plan to rescue the dolphins he felt like if it would not be possible because every thing they may do it would be watched by Control and that group would not let them to accomplish the plan for rescuing the dolphins. On the other hand, he really wanted to help Sue and Ruth to rescue the dolphins form the Music Rooms and accepted to go on the journey to Neumatt.
3. All this books was written in the future. Life in 2051 is controlled by a group from the government and people have no choice to live in other way. The government group controls everything they do. For that reason, people and have to be very cautious when they speak or navigate on the web because they are being watched and recorded by the group.
Now we still have freedom to speak and to navigate in the web without worries
We can live a real lifestyle and also take virtual life if we want
Today's world is in danger for global warm but not how in 2051 it will be
4. As I was reading this book I felt horror, I was sad and at the same time very scared. I couldn't understand how the world is really being controlled by just a group of members. I was thinking how the future would be if everything written in the book would be true. It was a combination of feelings and thoughts on my heart and my mind.
5. In my opinion Saul Grant is the main character. I consider myself some how like him because I do not believe in just what I am listening and I need to have proof of the situation. In addition, I usually try to be fear on what it is happening. Moreover, I think I'm like Saul because I like to be independent and do what I think is the best but without hurting some body. On the other hand, I do not like to feel afraid of a new situation even when I know it would be impossible to accomplish and Saul was always scared on what would happen on the next steps on his real life.
6. I just want to tell Saul that I was very surprised for all what he affronted and resisted to rescue the dolphins. Also, I'm very happy because he could live in the real life not only on his virtual lifestyle. Saul you should be happy and proud of yourself. Fell free to do what you think is good for you without hurting others.

LETTER TO A FRIEND
Hello Anny!
I hope everything is ok with you and your family. It looks like my family and I are getting to know the town we've just moved. I would like to share with yo an exciting moment that I experienced las weekend.
My family and I went to " Sea World" in San Antonio last Sunday. When we just got in the park, the first thing we did was look at the schedule there was and we rapidly decided to go to watch Shamu's show. It was amazing to see how the big whale moves all arround the huge pool. Besides that, I think it was incredible to believe how Shamu is really well trained and obeys her trainers. After that, we went to see the shark's show. It also was very nice. We could appreciate the sharks and we also learned about their life in the sea. Later, we all agreed to get on a few rides to do something different. Honestly that was the scariest part for me because I do not like to do that so much. Even though I was scared to get in the rides, I tried once and gave up. Finally, at the end orf the day we realized we were short on time and there were a few more shows to see.
However, we did not have time to go each one and we decided to come again as soon as ww can to watch and enjoy all shows we missed.
Well Anny, this is in general what what was my trip all about. I was thinking if you and your family may come to visit me and we all together go to Sea World to have fun. I think your kids will love it so much. I hope to see you soon.
Kisses and hugs for all of you. Your friend.....

CHAPTER VIII, IX & X
2. I think the wolves were the ones who saved Sue, Ruth and Saul's lives when they were in the forest. At the time that Dick Lane and Captain Marrs's men were there, the wolves atacked and killed two of them. The wolves kept people away from the forest. On the other hand, PACE members lived there because they could be hidden by the trees and no body could go there.
3. Captain Marrs hated the forest because it had plenty of trees which blocked the view and he couldn't see with the cameras what was happening in the forest. The only way to be there was riding jetbikes.

DOLPHIN MUSIC
CAHPTER 4. " BEATCON "
The moment Saul said the words " Music Rooms", his and his girlfriend Caroline's conversacion was immediately recorded by BEATCON, the British and European Anti-Terrorist Control Organisation. The building of this organisation was not so beautiful, but it contained everything that any member of BEATCON had ever wanted. There were the latest Web computers for taking virtual trips and playing games. There was a large swimming pool and gym. And there were the the latest jetcars and jetbikes.
Members of BEATCON were not allwed to get married, but they didn't mind that. They have virtual relationships. And when they were thirty years old, they were offered other jobs. You had to be young in BEATCON. And you had to keep fit. The members of BEATCON were all very fit.
Dick Lane was a BEATCON special and he thought that he was the best. He listened to Saul and Caroline's conversation and he didn't like them. Dick knew that Saul and his girlfriend were awared about the "Music Rooms" and he thought they were terrorists. Dick Lane recorded a coopy of Saul and Caroline's conversation and took it to Captain Marrs. Captain was the head of BEATCON. Captain Marrs watched the conversation and darw a picture of Saul's head on a pice of paper. And he was wondering who the young men who's asking about the Music Rooms was?.
Captain Marrs didn't know that he was being watched in another room by the head of Contorl for Europe, the "Controller". The Controller had many ways for watching people. He watched everyone. He was the spider at the Web. He knew everything that went on. He controlled everything. Controller thouhgt that sooner or later Captain Marrs was going to create real problems with his attitud. The Contoller didn't like Marrs way of doing things, but he knew that Marrs was valuable to Control as a head of BEATCON. Marrs had discoveredd and broken up several orginised terrorist groups in the region.
The Controller pulled up his file and read it. Marrs had joined the army when he was 18 yeras old and did very well. He was very quick and efficient. Controller knew anyone who blocked Marrs dissapeared. The Controller found in the file how Marrs' father and twin brother were both killed by terrorist bom when he was 3 years old. And two years later his mother commited suicide and Marrs saw her. The Controller could understand why Marrs hated terrorists so much and why he was the perfect head of BEATCON. He knew he' never find anyone else so detremined, so cruel. So useful.

Can't make heads or tails of something: you can use this idiom to say when you can not understand something at all. When you find something confusing and illogical. For instance, I can't make heads or tail of your e-mail, are you having problems with your computer?
Bad-mouth: this idiom is used to express or say unkind, unflattering, embarrassing (and probably untrue) things about someone. For example, I don't believe what Bob said. Why is he bad-mouthing me?

My most embarrassing moment
My most embarrassing moment happened when I was pregnant and I tried to say it in English. I thought the word embarrass had the same meaning in both languages. Embarazada in Spanish sounds like embarrass in English however both have different meaning. For instance, embarrass is when you feel that something you did was wrong and embarazada is when you are expecting a baby.
