Chapter 17
Why does Ellie feel uncomfortable with Chris bringing cigarettes and alcohol into Hell?
Ellie doesn't like the idea of Chris bringing things such as cigarettes and alcohol because she believes they aren't as important as other things. She believes they're taking up space for more important things such as food, water, etc. Along with thinking they're not important, Ellie also believes that Chris may start taking too far by starting to bring stronger stuff or, possibly, growing his own.
What is meant by a “clean war”? Why are the invaders so intent on having a ‘clean war’?
It's believed that the invaders want a clean war to ward off any suspicion from the rest of Australia and any international concern. It also means that they can act as nothing happened and begin a bigger invasion without interference from anyone.
What happened to the soldiers involved in the lawnmower incident, according to Robyn? How does this make Ellie feel?
According to Robyn that "[...], two of them died, they think." and we aren't really told directly how Ellie feels other that the "[...] the shock was still terrible." and that she started to sweat. This can imply that she is shocked and startled by the results of the incident.
Why do you think prisoners are sent to clean up the houses around town?
Well Robyn states that the man she was talking to and that "He said they're going to colonize the whole country with their own people, and all the farms will be split between them, and we'll just be allowed to do menial jobs, like cleaning lavatories I suppose." This means that the invaders are going to invade the rest of the country.

What does Kevin want to bring into Hell by way of livestock? Do you think his idea is a good one? Why/why not
He wants to bring in ferrets to breed and hunt for them to eat. I think this is a fairly good idea but I feel like the soldiers might notice that some ferrets are missing. But then again if they do it discreetly they soldier's shouldn't notice. Other then that I think it might work as Hell is a pretty secluded place and wild ferrets shouldn't cause any suspicion.
Ellie states that she was attracted to "Lee was his mind, his intelligent, sensitive face" and that the security she felt with him wasn't the same as what she felt with Homer. She also found the underneath Lee's cool exterior was someone deeply passionate.

Chapter 18
What does Ellie find primarily attractive about Lee? Ellie states that she was attracted to "Lee was his mind, his intelligent, sensitive face" and that the security she felt with him wasn't the same as what she felt with Homer. She also found the underneath Lee's cool exterior was someone deeply passionate.
Who is she attracted to physically?
Ellie finds Homer physically attractive.
What are the group’s options according to Homer?
- They can sit and do nothing. This isn't bad as they're not trained for a situation like this and that it's best they play it safe.
- Try and get they're families back. This one's a bad idea as they don't have anything that can compete against the invader's weapons.
- Do smaller things to help the war effort(?) and they could possibly surrender or move.
They decide to send Homer, Fi, Lee, and Ellie out for a few days and they'll investigate the situation down at Cobbler's Bay. The group believe the most important action is happening.
