Chapter 3

1. Why does Robyn think that they are the only people ever to have gone into Hell?

Because maybe every other explorer, settlers or Koories have never bothered to look for the place in the beginning, and it's hard to get in too.

2. Why do you think the valley is called Hell?

Even though it may look pretty, there may be some hidden things that could be frightening for people to know. It's really hard to actually get into Hell.

3. Why must the teenagers seem like visitors from hell to the wild things living in the clearing? How is this Ironic?

The place was peaceful but when they arrived they created a lot of noise which is not common for the wild things to hear. This is Ironic because of their reaction.

4. What picture of Kevin do we get in this chapter?

He has a bad habit of breaking branches of the tree instead of walking a meter to pick some up. He wasn't what he was described as, for example, he was described as caring and sensitive, which was hard for Ellie to believe. He is also annoying and cocky

5. What does Ellie liken Fi to? Do you think this is a fair assessment of her character? Use examples from the text to support your thinking.

Exotic butterfly, Yes because Fi is one of a kind, she is behind on many things other people experience.

6. At times Ellie switches her narration from retelling the story to commenting about her life in the present-Why do you think the author has chosen to write in this style?

To remind us that this is in the past. Also maybe to make the story interesting
