Questions:
1.- In the picture I can see a boy and a girl who are in love, because they are getting a hug. The title of the book is “Two lives” and in the picture, there are there, two lives, two people.
2.- Tredonald, the village of Huw and Megan, is a fantastic place, it isn’t exist, but if we don’t research some information of it, we believe that exist, that is why in the book appear the exactly occupation about it.
The 1984 miners’ strike was a major industrial action, which affect the British coal industry. The Government want to close some mines that didn’t have a lot of productivity, and in result a lot of people lost their job.
3.- David Thomas, Huw’s father, is an alcoholic men. He spends the money that his sons get. Also, they aren’t a rich family, they are poor. They’ve got a lot of difficulties to eat something and they usually have to ask at Megan’s father, if he can provide some food.
Richard Thomas, a brother from Huw, died in North Africa, at the WWII.
Huw went to Mr. Jenkins house to explain that they can’t pay the food, because his father spends their money to drink. At this moment, Megan asked to Huw to go for a walk later.
4.- Huw asks to Megan if she want to be his girl, and she accept. But anyone can see them, because if Megan’s father knew their relationship, they’ll have to stop that. Huw and Megan were friends for a lot of years, because of that, Huw ask this question to Megan.
5.- On this Saturday Huw and Megan were going to watch a film in Afon. Because of that they are very excited.
6.- I think the death of Gareth impact so strong in Huw because after the Richard’s death, Huw only had got a person, Gareth, a part of Megan with he can trust. The relationship of Gareth and Huw were very strong.
7.- If I were Meg and my father was alive, I were very worried with him. At the beginning, I would ask why did he hide the letters.
It’s possible that Megan’s father want to Megan find the letters, because if he didn’t want that, he burned the letters or he threw them.
8.- Because Huw’s letters never fall at Megan’s hands, until 50 years later. Two years after living Trendonald, Huw had got enough money to come back, but he thought that Megan tried to forget him, and he didn’t come back to Trendonald.
9.- Cardiff is the capital and the most important city of Wales. It’s situated on South Glamorgan, in the Bristol Bay, near the England border.
At 2006, Cardiff population was about 317500 people; it was the 16h biggest city on the United Kingdom.
10.- The relationship that Megan and Huw had when they were younger was very strong. After this she wants to see him another time. But it isn’t the only reason, she also thinks that Beth have to see her father, and know him.
11.- She’s a guide of the mine.
Huw says that because Megan had to live his life, educates and takes care of Beth without a husband.
I think it’s very difficult, because 50 years are a lot of years, more than a half of a life to the normal people. However, the relationship about Megan and Huw can be successful, when they’re younger they were really in love.
12.-

I want to go married with Huw. Please, apologise me.
- Megan,... I love you.
- I know that, and me too but no with the mind that I love Huw. You’re a very good person Paul, I know that. But my life now, it’ll be another time with Huw, the man of my life.
