How does Ellie feel as she is waiting in the truck at the Council Depot? Where do her emotions come from?
Ellie is fearful, excited, and cold. She believes that this is because of her love to protect her friends, family, and the rest of the citizens of Wirrawee. She quotes a line from the bible that she believes describes her situation, 'And the greatest of these was love.'
Why are the girls smiling when in danger? Is this a logical response?
Although most people don't think it's common but I think for a situation like this, it definitely is logical. I mean even though it's a high-risk situation it would still be a little fun.
What does wearing a helmet and buckling up mean to the girls?
That it might be the thing that makes the difference between brain damage and death. This is later proven true when they end up lurching forward from force and banged their heads against the metal roof.
What does Chris’s story say about the town?
What does Chris’s story say about the town?
That literally everyone goes to the show every single year. That's like going to the A&P show every single year. It also shows that there are looters in the town and that at the start most soldiers were nervous and that this is probably their first invasion.
What impact does the BMW have on the story? Does Chris seem lonely? Explain your answer?
What impact does the BMW have on the story? Does Chris seem lonely? Explain your answer?
I know nothing about cars so I have no idea. There also isn't anything in the chapter that sticks out to me as what the impact the BMW has. And, yeah, Chris seems lonely. Humans are meant to have social interaction with people, we're a social species whether we like it or not. If you hadn't talk to people for almost 2 weeks you would probably feel lonely too.
What is Homer’s explanation for the need to swap cars at Chris Lang’s place? What does this show about the way he is thinking?
What is Homer’s explanation for the need to swap cars at Chris Lang’s place? What does this show about the way he is thinking?
Homer is thinking logically by explaining that they need to throw off the soldiers about where they are. If the car is at Chris's then the invaders will blow up the house thinking that they're in there and be done with it. Homer is starting to think more and more ahead which is what they need.

It's pretty good and I'm enjoying it. Getting a bit sick of posting these but oh well.

ReplyDeleteI read this series a few years ago now and even as an adult I found the story engaging. I must confess to being disappointed when it came to an end, but I think that is so often the case with a good book (or series, in this case). What has our favourite part been so far? Any predictions on how this story might end?
My favorite part so far is probably the scene where they pick Lee up in the bulldozer cause it's such a bizarre plan. It's one where it's so dumb that it miraculously works. I think that someone is going to die, if not multiple. They're probably going to fight the government cause this is a teenage dystopian and that's how most of these go. I'm pretty excited to see where it goes though.
