Why does Homer insist on going on with the plan after Corrie’s house blows up? How does he convince Corrie that this is a good idea?
He insists because they're not going to get anywhere unless they continue with the plan. He also states that they "Can't just crawl under the bed and stay there till this is over," which is a good point. He's stating that they can't continue to run away if they want Robyn and Lee back, and if they want to live.
Describe the strategy Home and Ellie use to ensure their safety when riding their bikes into town. What does this show about how they are starting to think?
They're strategy was to have someone go up roughly a hundred meters, walking, and then if it was safe, waved to the other person that it was all clear. This shows that they are starting to think of each other and are naturally falling into a plan for survival without thinking too much about it.

Why do you think Mr Clement is reluctant to help Lee and Robyn? How would you react in his position.
He doesn't want to endanger himself and wants to survive and, as Robyn mentions, he might have family with them and doesn't want to endanger them either. I would try help them as much as I could without endangering myself. If they didn't go away I would probably budge and help them but I honestly don't know.
How has Homer changed in Ellie’s eyes since the invasion?
Homer has become much more of a leader instead of an instigator who is also a dickhead. He's matured and is starting to take lead among the group. Ellie also describes him as becoming more interesting to her even though she's known him for years.
What are the 2 different types of soldiers and how do they each treat the inhabitants of Wirrawee?
The first type of soldier is the professionals who are actually trained and skilled in being a soldier. They also are describe as being the more kinder and better at actually taking their job seriously, compared to the conscripts at least. Conscripts are described as being the soldiers that are there to fill the spaces. They aren't as good at their job as the professionals and are poorly equipped .
Why do you think Robyn had the strength to carry Lee?
When you get a rush of adrenaline can cause you to become stronger for a moment but, afterwards, they won't have that same strength. This is what Ellie says that because they don't have the same urgency as before.
How have the group decided to rescue Lee, whose idea was this and why do they think it will work.
They're going to use a bulldozer and they're going to scoop him up in the shovel bit at the front of the machine. Then they're going to use a get-away car. This is Ellie's idea and they think it'll work because if they get shot at, they won't take much damage. Like that's the dumbest idea that I've ever heard, oh my life that's hilarious

What do you think happened to people who ‘tried to be heroes?’
They probably died. Not much too it honestly.
Always enjoy reading your writing, Molly. Very witty! Sorry you are sick of the questions... at least you're done now :)
