During chapter eight Ben and Gully begin to develop a new appreciation for each other.  What do you think Ben meant by the following quote? 

“Hey,” he said softly, “you’re not such a dragon after all.  You’re a big marshmallow.”
                                                                                    Different Dragons – page 60

Explain what Ben means by this statement.





When Aunt Rose and Hana came back to the house from looking for Gully Ben doesn’t want to leave Gully’s side.  This seemed strange considering that throughout the story Ben has found ways to avoid Gully. 

Explain why Ben has had a change of heart.  Why is he being so considerate of Gully’s feelings?






Do you think that Ben and Gully are similar in some ways?  Explain your reasoning.
