Tomorrow, When The War Began: Chapter 11

1. How does Ellie feel as she is waiting in the truck at the Council Depot? Where do her emotions come from?

- She felt cold, shivery, and excitement but the greatest of these was fear. Her fear came from love, for her friends because she didn't want to let them down.

2. Why are the girls smiling when in danger? Is this a logical response?

- They are probably coping with the situation sarcastically or because of adrenaline.

3. What does wearing a helmet and buckling up mean to the girls?

- It means they are making sure they're safe if anything happens.

4. What does Chris’s story say about the town?

- The town wasn't the same as before, many things changed such as people disappearing, electricity being cut and incidents on the road. There was also a lot of soldiers lingering around the streets and a lot of houses were a mess.

5. What impact does the BMW have on the story? Does Chris seem lonely? Explain your answer?

- The BMW helped them escape but in the end, they had to get rid off it so the soldiers can't find a connection between them and Chris's family. If they do, they might burn his house done and maybe something bad might happened for Chris's parents. So instead, they pushed it in the dam which is how they found Chris. Yes, Chris seems lonely because he had been by himself since the war started and he hasn't seen his parents yet.

6. 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?

- His explanation is to switch cars again because he has also been followed by the soldiers. Instead of using the BMW(the car he used), he'll use a different car (which is Chris's parent's car)to go to Ellie's house. Unfortunately, if the soldiers find the shot up BMW that they've been searching for, then some nasty things could happen to Ellie’s parents. (Whatever car he uses, he'll leave it in Ellie's house and switch it with the Landrover to go to hell) This shows that Homer is thinking intelligently and strategically.

7. What are your thoughts on the story so far...

- I barely read books but I've really enjoyed it so far, and I can't wait what's going to happen next.
