Tomorrow, When The War Began: Chapter 10

1. 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?

- Homer should convince Corrie that it was a good idea because the soldiers think he and his friends died from the explosion.

2. Describe the strategy Homer and Ellie use to ensure their safety when riding their bikes into town. What does this show about how they are starting to think?

- Homer was riding two hundred meters behind Ellie. She'd stop every corner of intersections then signal back to him. This shows that they are started to be aware of what is happening.

3. Why do you think Mr Clement is reluctant to help Lee and Robyn? How would you react in his position?

- Mr Clement is reluctant because he doesn't trust anyone and he doesn't wanna get caught by the soldiers. If I was in his position, I would more likely to join them because it's better to be in a group instead of being alone knowing its dangerous.

4. How has Homer changed in Ellie’s eyes since the invasion?

- He became more mature and braver.

5. What are the 2 different types of soldiers and how do they each treat the inhabitants of Wirrawee?

- One type of soldiers was professionals that treated people better. The other type was there to make up the number, they were poorly trained and treated people badly.

6. Why do you think Robyn had the strength to carry Lee?

- Based on Ellie's reaction, I think she had the strength to carry Lee because she knows it was important on that day to rescue Lee and to make sure he is healed.

7. How have the group decided to rescue Lee, whose idea was this and why do they think it will work.

- Homer and Ellie planned to get one the truck from the Council depot and to burn down the streets. While Robyn goes back to the restaurant, gets Lee ready and to wait for Ellie to arrive. After this, they'll get everyone into the truck and go to hell. It was Homer, Corrie and Ellie's idea. They think this plan will work because they schemed it together making sure everyone agrees on it.

8. What do you think happened to people who ‘tried to be heroes?’

- They are probably dead or hurt.
