Should Zoey Trust The Eels Tribe?

This term in McCahon class, we have been reading the very emotive novel written by Marcus Sedgwick. As you know, many people have different opinions and so we held a debate. It was about whether we think that the main character, Zoey, should trust the eels tribe. Here is my side of this argument. 

I respectfully disagree with people that think Zoey should TRUST the eels clan. The reasons why I disagree is that Dooby sounds dodgy because when Zoey first arrived, Dooby gave an impression as if he was very violent but now he is very friendly. When something devastating happens it changes the way people act and I think the crisis that has happened to Dooby’s world has affected him.

They say Zoey is smart but Dooby may take advantage of that and use her to build the eels tribe something and later on betray her by leaving her behind.
