I thought about the story and I enjoyed it because there were prisoners who became free.

It was sad that the boy did not listen to his dad and then died.

Very sad story, but I liked Icarus flying.

So I gave this 3 stars as it was really sad. Icarus should have listened to his father’s warning.

Loved the story but was sad ending, although as Mum pointed out, moral of story was that he should have listened to his parent and then he would have been ok
