1. My impression of Beta Sydney is that he is a disobedient person. This can be seen from “severe breach of rules” and “not supposed to” these suggests that he is doing something that is forbidden and severely disapproved by the government. Which shows that Beta Sydney disobeyed the rules given by the government and visited the principle, thus this shows that he is a disobedient person.
2. Yes, there is. At first he was confident and even spent 12 years rehearsing but was not as prepared when it came to the real situation. This can be seen from “heart jumped” and “ impromptu rehearsal”. The phrase “heart jumped” suggests that he was not prepared for anyone to spot him and was not prepared to react to him. The phrase “impromptu rehearsal” suggests that he had lots of rehearsals and needed to act infront  of the neighbour unplanned. Thus, Beta Sydney was not as prepared for the situation as when he is rehearsing for the past 12 years.

Question 1:
My impression of Beta Sydney is that he is an impulsive person .
The phrases " What was he thinking, standing out here?" and "Just what did he want to do?" suggests that Beta Sydney does not think properly before he acts as the phrase " Just what he want to do?" shows that there's no clear motive to do something. Thus he is an impulsive person.
Question 2:
Yes. At first, Sydney was a law-abiding understudy who follows his script. Now it is shown that he is courageous to meet his principal. By doing this, it is against the government  rules and could be severely punished.

Question 1:
My impression of Beta Sydney is that he is not a loyal understudy as he is going to meet his principal which is not allowed by the government and they kept a rule that you "are not supposed to" meet your principal and it also "a severe breach of the rules" according to the government.The information provided above is enough to conclude that Beta Sydney is not as loyal as he seems.It is also obvious that he does  not prefer to follow some rules given to understudies,which forces him not be loyal to the government.I also say that Beta Sydney might have his own reasons for not being loyal.I believe that he just wants to have a conversation with Sydney and his family.It is very sad for you if you are a understudy and I can understand how they feel being made to follow rules which are very strainful for them,so I guess understudies like Beta Sydney have no choice but not to be loyal.
Question 2:
Yes, Beta Sydney has a different side other then not being loyal.In his different side he is a good example of a loyal understudy.The reason for him being so loyal in his different side is because Of fear.The fear is the HR Managers taking away his skin. The fact that he bothers to fill up a form and go for a interview with the HR Manager to change his skin, proves that he is loyal but we can also infer from what happens next that he is not that loyal because a HR Manager during the interview said "You should have read the line at the bottom of the form:'not applicable by a grade one understudy'. There is also another reason we can prove that Beta Sydney is loyal which is that he does not come out from the shadows that much. In the end, you can conclude he has two sides on being loyal and the other not being loyal and that during different circumstances he uses a different side.

1.I feel that Beta Sydney was rebellious and acted on instincts. This can be seen from the phrase,"Not supposed to" and "Severe breach of rules" "Not supposed to" suggests that Beta Sydney was actually not allowed to visit his principal."Severe breach of rules" suggests that he was going against the law and doing something forbidden.

2.Yes,there is. At first,Sydney was portrayed as a responsible and law abiding understudy. This is shown when he went to to HR managers for a change of principal. However now it is revealed that he is even courageous enough to meet his principal,despite knowing it is against the law and he could be severely punished if the authorities found out  what he was doing.

1. My impression of Beta Sydney is that he is a disobedient person. This can be seen from, "severe breach of rules" and "not supposed to"
The phrase "severe breach of rules" suggests that Beta Sydney was disobeying the rules given and doing something he is not forbidden from doing.
The phrase "someone had seen him "not supposed to" suggests that he is not supposed to visit his principle but he is consistent and still did it despite of knowing that he will be in trouble if he is caught.
2. Beta Sydney is not as prepared as Sydney. This can be seen from "he toyed with the idea of knocking on their door and introducing himself" and "heart jumped". The phrase "toyed with the idea" suggests that he took time to think and was not prepared to confirm if he should do it or not .
The phrase "heart jumped" suggests that it was that he was not prepared for someone to see him and did not know what to do but to play out the role as if it was some impromptu rehearsal

1.My impression of of Sydney is that he is a sneaky person.This can be seen from“recovered quickly,slipping into his role.”, and “Impromptu rehearsal”The phrase “recovered quickly” suggests he was used to slipping in and out of roles rapidly.The phrase “impromptu rehearsal” suggests that he feels that this is easy, so he should be used to this.This can also been seen from"assumed she was in the bedroom".The word "assumed" suggests that although he did not know where Melanie really was, he could easily lie about it.The word"assumed"also suggests that he knew the script very well, as schedules were probably included for everyone's script, and Mr.Rodrigues did not correct him. Hence,I believe that Sydney is deceiving as he acts like he seems to be an expert in acting as other people, and is able to lie with skill, and has planned for this well.

2.Yes, as at first, Beta Sydney appears  to be a law abiding understudy as instead of taking matters into his own hands, he requests the authorities to aid him.However, later he is brave enough to act as Sydney to meet him, not being scared when he meets a neighbour, instead acting as Sydney he also seems very prepared to lie and deceive so he can meet Sydney.Even when he was surprised by the neighbour, instead of showing fear, he remained level-headed.He even continues with his plan.Also, he oddly relishes the idea of going against the rules, especially since it was an extremely severe offence to meet their principals at all. Considering how easy he slips in and out of his two roles as Sydney and Beta Sydney, it almost seems like he has done this before, or he is extremely well prepared.He also memorised the script well as he recalls the neighbour's name, Mr Rodrigues, and is able to confidently guesses Melanie's location without being corrected of surprising anyone.Finally he has clearly planned meticulously, as this can be seen from"Not for the first time..why not?", so clearly he had many plans, and chose the one he felt was the best.Hence Sydney has clearly meticulously planned this out and is not afraid, to perhaps even enjoys, breaking the rules as he has clearly carefully planned this out and is extremely focused to see this plan being carried out fully and effectively at all costs, including the biggest danger of getting caught and punished severely.

1. What is ur impression of Beta Sydney in this extract?
Answer: I feel that Beta Sydney in this extract is a guy who is ignorant to what is happening around him as he went to Sydney's house without any thoughts of why is he there and his motive of being there. We can see from "What was he thinking, standing out here? Just what did he want to do?". The word/phrase " Just what did he want to do?" suggest that Beta Sydney didn't even know what he wanted to do and why suddenly he had a thought of going to Sydney's house in the first place. This phrase also shows that Beta Sydney is ignorant and don't know why is he at a particular place like in this situation, he is at Sydney's house. This shows that Beta Sydney is ignorant to his surroundings.
2)Is there a different side to Beta Sydney that is revealed?
Yes there is a different side to Beta Sydney that is revealed. His different side is that he became very rude and disrespectful to the old man, Mr.Rodrigues as he had his night stroll and acted like nothing had happened and he smiled and waved the old man off.

1) I feel that Beta Sydney is very impulsive as he went to Sydney's house without having a motive and he thought "What was he thinking,standing out here? Just what did he want to do?" The phrase "what did he want to do" shows that Beta Sydney did not have an actual reason as to why he wanted to go to Sydney's house. The phrase "what did he want to do" reflects that he had no idea on what he wanted to do. Therefore, this concludes that Beta Sydney thinks without thinking carefuly.
2) Yes. The disobedient side of Beta Sydney is revealed as Beta Sydney usually listened to the rules. But here, Beta Sydney is shown to be disobedient as he visits his principal, Sydney, whom he is not allowed to visit.

1. I feel that Beta Sydney is a person that does not think before he do things.

This can be seen from "what was he thinking, standing out here? Just what did he want to do? Beta Sydney shook his head and made his way discreetly into the shadows.'' this shows that Beta Sydney is impulsive and does not think before taking action
2.yes.
This can be seen from"Beta Sydney smiled and waved the old gentleman off.He  breathed a sigh of relief when he was gone."
This shows that he was plotting something bad and since Mr.Rodrigues was in his way, he had to act like nothing had happened and change his behavior and pretend he was having a late night walk.
In conclusion, Beta Sydney was plotting something he did not want people to know of, somethig bad.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  I feel that Beta Sydney is either hiding things from Mr.Rodrigues or planning to do something bad or secretive.This can be seen from "He breathed a sigh of relief when he was gone."
The phrase "breathed a sigh of relief"shows that Beta Sydney was relief that Mr.Rodrigues has finally walked away and he might be thinking that he can drop his act.
The phrase"was gone " shows that Beta Sydney did not want Mr.Rodrigues to be around him and the word "gone" emphasize on Mr.Rodrigues finally walking away from Beta Sydney and Beta Sydney wanted that to happen or did not even want him to meet Beta Sydney.

2.  Yes.This can be seen from Beta Sydney sending Mr.Rodrigues away politely and afterwards he thought something negative about Mr.Rodrigues staying around Beta Sydney late in the night asking him redundant questions about his wife as if trying to find out something.All these can be seen from"Beta Sydney smiled and waved the old gentleman off .He breathed a sigh of relief when he was gone."and"What was he thinking,standing out here?Just what did he want to do."Shows that Beta Sydney had an immediate change of behaviour and thought when Mr.Rodrigues was talking to him and when he walked away.
Overall,was doing something that he did not want people to find him suspicious or know what he is doing.

1.I feel that Beta Sydney is an impulsive person.
This can be seen from " what was he thinking, standing out here? Just what did he want to do?"
The phrase "what was he thinking" shows that Beta Sydney was acting upon his instincts and was not actually thinking.
The phrase "want to do" shows that Beta Sydney had no actual motive to go to Sydney's house and he only went there acting on his instincts.
He went there acting upon his instincts so this proves that Beta Sydney is an impulsive person.

2. Yes.
This can be seen from "  They will have his skin... Walked discreetly"
The phrase "have his skin" shows that Beta Sydney knew the dangers of visiting Sydney but he visited him anyway. He also did not follow what the government told him to do.
The word "discreetly" shows that Beta Sydney was being careful and thus also shows that he knew the consequences of visiting Sydney. Beta Sydney is going against what the government tells him to do again, which is not something we would really expect from the usually obedient Beta Sydney.
In conclusion, this proves that Beta Sydney is a defiant person, instead of being the obedient person he was before visiting Sydney.

1. I feel that Beta Sydney is very desperate and thick-skin. This can seen him from " They were not supposed to visit their principal. It was a severe breach of rules. "  This suggests that Beta Sydney was very desperate to go out to the outside world and that he was thick-skin as even though he knew that visiting his principle was a severe breach of the rules

2. Yes. At the beginning, Beta Sydney abides by the rules.
however,beta sydney in this extract is thick-skinned and desperate .this can be seen from him visiting sydney wong despite knowing that it is a breach of rules to do so.he is so desperate to change principle that he doesn't care about the consequences that will happen to him and he just went to look for sydney wong. hence my impression of Beta Sydney has changed from an abiding understudy to a desperate and thick skinned person.

1. What is your impression of Beta Sydney in this extract?

Ans: I feel that Beta Sydney had not studied his principal, Sydney, so well as an understudy.

This can be seen from, "Beta Sydney assumed that she was in the bedroom."

The word, "assumed" suggests that Beta Sydney did not know where Sydney wife was and he just guessed, meaning that he did not know much about Sydney's wife.
The phrase, "in the bedroom" also suggests that Beta Sydney did not know that Sydney's wife worked as a doctor and at that time, she would be working in the hospital. He would have known that if he had studied Sydney well.

Therefore, Beta Sydney is an understudy who does not memorize his script well and the 12 years spent memorizing and learning Sydney were wasted.

2. Is there a different side to Beta Sydney that is revealed

Ans: There is a different side to Beta Sydney revealed in this short extract.

There is a different side to Beta Sydney revealed in this extract. Beta Sydney was portrayed as bad because he was an understudy who wanted to replace people. However, in this scene, he wanted to meet up with the real Sydney, probably telling him more about the Betas that were hidden from the public; Beta Sydney wanted to warn Sydney. This showed that Beta Sydney was actually being nice to Sydney and warning him, even though it was against the rules.

Q1. What is your impression of Beta Sydney in this extract?

1. Ans: My impression of Beta Sydney is that he is not abiding the law as he is doing something the government does not want any understudy to do. This can be seen from '' They were not supposed to visit their principals. It was a severe breach of rules'' . The phrase 'not supposed to visit their principals' tells us that Beta Sydney should not visit Sydney but he disobeys the government tries to visit Sydney Wong. The phrase 'severe breach of rules' suggest that Beta Sydney is not loyal to the government and does not care about the law anymore. From these evidences,I can conclude that Beta Sydney is not a loyal citizen anymore and he is a threat to the government.

Q2. Is there a different side to Beta Sydney that is revealed in this extract?

Ans: Yes. Beta Sydney in this extract is very different from Beta Sydney in the past. In this extract, Beta Sydney is not loyal to the government and does not even care if he is going to get severely punished for not abiding the law if the HR managers found out. In the past , Beta Sydney was a loyal citizen and abide the law as he does not want his skin to be removed.
