Questions:

1. Do you think that Domenica wants to go home?

Anna: "No. She says she wants to but if she were given the opportunity to go home, she would not take it." 
Katarina: "Yes"
Tijana: "Maybe"
Marija: I think that she misses her family but i also think that she like the fact that she is not moving all the time. I also think that she likes being able to develop really good friends in her school instead of just friends that she has only for a few months and then has to leave again. I also think that being able to get post cards from her family helped a lot as well. 

2. Why do you think that Domenica is being a really good friend to Lila if she is that mean?

Anna: "Because she just really wants a friend and she is not picky about who." 
Katarina: "She thinks that she can get the best out of her."
Tijana: "Because she does not have any friends and she just wants a friend." 
Marija: I think that Domenica might see something in Lila that other people don't. I think that even though Lila is her true friend Domenica still feels sorry for her because she had to live in Switzerland alone without her family. They are kind of in the same situation excepted for Domenica had her aunt and uncle. I also think that because of both of them not having there family around that Domenica understands Lila.    

3. Where do you think Lila was when all the kids were already at Mount Saint Moritz?

Anna: "I think she was just late."
Katarina: "I think that she was just late or was not sure if she wants to go."
Tijana: "I think she was late."
Marija: I think that she was being suborn as always or finding something that she can complain about. Or she might have gotten lost. (it does not really say in the rest of the chapters)

4. Why do you think that the kids at school think that Guthrie and Lila are together?

Anna: "Because they spend a lot of time together and they are really good friends and he does not dislike her as much as everyone else."
Katarina: "I think that the kids think that they are together because Guthrie is by her side and always helping her, unlike any of the other boys."
Tijana: "I think that the kids at school think that because Guthrie and Lila spend so much time together and she seems to like her way more than the other guys."
Marija: I think that it is because he is the only guy that hangs out with Lila and spends time with her even when he does not need to. The kids also might think since Lila and Guthrie are such good friends that it seems like they are in love because they care about each other. 

5. Why do you think that Lila changed when she finally came to Mount Saint Moritz? 

Anna: "I think that for such a long time she goes home and says how bad things are and complains but then she realized that things are not that bad after all."
Katarina: "I think that Lila changed when she came to see her parents and thought that everything would be perfect but then she realized that things were better at school"
Tijana: "Maybe she realized that there is no reason to be mean because then nobody would like her so, and then she realized that she wanted more friends"

Mount Saint Moritz 

Marija: I think that she wanted to build up a new reputation for herself and to now be know for other things like, liking to talk or being really interesting. I also think that she was sick of complaining all the time and so she just wanted a change where she could get more friends which she did. Everyone was talking to her and it seemed like she like the new Lila too and so did Domenica and Guthrie.
