Tomorrow when the War Began Chp Seven

Chapter Seven

Which people in the group are starting to stand out as leaders, is this surprising? Why/why not?
Ellie and Hunter. I don't think it's that surprising because Ellie has always shown the group that she is more of a leader, but with Homer it is because he is goofy and seems like he would just muck around but he has really stepped up and changed.

Do you think that taking Kevin's dog flip to Corries house was a mistake?Explain thoughts

Yes I think it is because if any of the soldiers go looking in the houses they may realise that the dog has moved houses, so that lets the soldiers know people are out there for the dog to have been moved.

What does Lee mean when he says ´we might have to make some ugly choices?´

Lee means that they will have to make sacrifices during the time they are together, even if it causes harm.

How is Ellie´s image of Kevin changing in this chapter?

Ellie is beginning to see Kevin as more of someone who is useful and nice. Other than him being a sports jock and some arrogant person.

Is the decision to split into smaller groups and good decision? Give reasons

In some situations if you split into groups it can help and get things done quicker. If that was me I wouldn't of split into groups because of what has happened to Lee and Robyn.

Why is it that Ellie´s group decides to act ´illogical´ and survey the showgrounds together?

Ellie thinks that it's a good idea because if they are all together nobody is able to get lost.

Why does the idea of a female soldier surprise Ellie?

This could be because she thinks that to be a soldier you have to be male or maybe because she is only use to seeing male soldiers. So when she sees on it surprises her.

If your parents were captured in a situation like this, would they have been ´sensible´ or would they have been violent?

I think that my mum would have sensible and thought which would be the best way to handle the situation.

How is Ellie ´transformed´ once she steps out from behind a tree near the showgrounds?

When Ellie was behind the tree she was very thankful and affectionate of the tree because it was a very good way of hiding her and her friends. As soon as she steps away from the tree and something happens she starts panicking and getting stressed out with so much fear.
Ellie and Kevin´s quick-thinking allowed them to turn a ride-on lawnmower into a bomb. Was this moral behaviour? Did they do the right thing, or should they have surrendered themselves?

I really don't think that this is the best thing that they could of done. This is because they didn't know why the soldiers were there they just assumed that they were bad, but they could've just been protecting the people of Wirrawee.

Predict what you think has happened to Lee and Robyn.
I think that maybe they have gotten lost or caught up in some trouble.
