Sympathy: feeling sorry for someone who is experiencing a bad

situation.

Empathy: understanding another person's feelings and emotions as if they

were your own.

Which character do you empathise with the most? Which character do

you empathise with the least?

Which character do you sympathise with the most? Which character do you sympathise with the least?

Zoe is very unsure of William at first, but she soon grows to trust and like him,

despite not always understanding what he says, and being frustrated by his

ramblings. She wants to take him with her when she leaves,

and is horrified by what happens to him.

Zoe does not like Sarah, as she is

mocked and insulted by her.

Zoe is afraid of Dooby. She knows he can be violent and manipulative, and that he is using her to help him get off Eels Island. Towards the end of the book, she begins to empathise with him, as like her, he too has lost his parents.

Zoe thinks that Spat is cruel and vicious. She does not like or

trust him at all. At first, Zoe only sees

Munchkin as Dooby's 'left-hand man'. She tries not to laugh when she sees him

because he is so mouse-like. As the story progresses,

Zoe's opinion of Munchkin changes - she begins to like

and trust him, and they become friends.

How does your reasoning compare to these ideas?

Now it is your turn to further explore the relationships between

the inhabitants of Eels Island!

As you can see, there are lots of different layers and levels of relationships between the characters, and some of their opinions of each other may

change and develop throughout the story, due to different events.
