Tomorrow when the War Began Chp Eight

Chapter Eight

How does Ellie feel about the lawn mower incident?
Ellie feels really disappointed and disgusted in herself that she could actually do that to people, that she didn’t even know.
How does she think the others will react to her story when she tells it?
She was afraid and stressed out because she thought they might judge or attack her.
How do they actually react? Why?
They are really caring towards Ellie and supportive because they know that, that was the only way they could survive.
Homer says, "This is war now, normal rules don't apply... They're the ones who tore up the rule book, not us"What does this say about his character? What do you think of the validity of his options?
It says that he doesn’t blame or judge her because they all have to do what they need to survive. Also we can tell that he plays fair.
Fi talks about the 'Shadows', during their reconnaissance. What are these shadows and what are the implications due to their existence?
The shadows are people but since Fi wasen’t able to see them fully she had called them shadows, she also knew that they weren’t soldiers they were people like Ellie and her group.
What pieces of evidence from the book inform the reader that this invasion wasn't entirely peaceful?
Maybe the fact that there was so many places that had been ruined, or the fact that some streets had a lot of blood on the roads and walls. Also because as soon as the soldiers heard something they would shoot.
