The One and only ivan
by Katherine applegate

The arrival p. 68-70

The Arrival

Following Ruby's arrival, Ivan thinks: "I am glad for Stella. But when I glance at her, I see she is not glad at all." Why do you think Stella is conflicted about Ruby joining them? Why might she be happy to have Ruby there? Why might it also make her sad?


Watch the book trailer for The One and Only Ivan. Does this give you any clues as to why Stella may have mixed feelings about Ruby's arrival?

Stella didn’t sound happy when she heard the sound of a little trunk whistled because it said she mumbled a word she said that is hatred.

Stella Knows that she has to protect Ruby but doesn't know if she can do it any much longer so she trust Ivan to do it for her.

Stella knows that she has to protect Ruby, but she doesn't know if she can do it much longer, so she must trust Ivan to do it for her. In the book Stella is sick and she knows that she won't be able to carry on. She is happy for Ruby arriving because she is lonely and now has Ruby to take care of. However, she is sad because she might not be able to do it for much longer. Because of this, she has to tell Ivan that he has to look after Ruby. She wants to make a serious promise with him that he will take care of her.

Stella is happy there is another elephant but she's sad because she doesn't want Ruby to suffer.

I think Stella is not happy because she thinks Ruby is a replacement for her.

I don’t think that Stella was very happy because she had to live in a cage with no family for all of her life so I don’t think she wants a baby elephant to have to go threw the same thing. On page 61-62 Stella told Ivan that there is a new elephant coming and then Ivan said your just hoping that and then Stella replied with “ No” “not hoping. “Not at all. When she said that she meant that she didn’t want ruby to be there because she didn’t want her to have to go threw that.

Stella knows that she won't be able to take care of Ruby and she is worried that Ivan might not be able to do it but she will still give it a shot. I think that because she is sick and her foot hurts and she knows she won't be alive much longer so she gave the responsibility to ivan

It might make her feel sad because she knows that its a bad place to be for animals. This is because it is a cage and the animals can never leave. In the book, Ivan was taken from his family and put in the cage at the mall. At first, he liked it, then he hated it because he was by himself and he realized it was not a good place. Stella might be happy about Ruby being there because she is not the only elephant there anymore and they might become good friends. She might be sad because Ruby might be sick and she knows they won't help her. Overall, the mall circus is not a good place for animals.

I think that Stella wants to help Ruby because Stella doesn't want Ruby to be stuck in a domain for the rest of her life

I think Stella has mixed feelings about Ruby arriving because Ruby is just another innocent animal taking from her family and now will be locked in a cage with Stella. I think Stella is happy that she will have another elephant there but will be sad that just like her Ruby was taken away from her beloved.

I think Stella does have mixed feelings about Ruby coming into. I think she is not glad because she thinks she might leave because Ruby's here and because she may have to take care of Ruby but her foot is really hurting her. And I think she is happy because now there is another elephant! Yay for Stella!
