Tomorrow when the War Began Chp Ten

Chapter Ten

Why does Homer insist on going on with the plan after Corrie's house blows up? How does he convince Ellie that this is a good idea? 

He insist because it's probably the most smartest idea, making the soldiers think they're dead. He convinced her by bringing up Lee and Robyn asking if she wants them back safe.

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?

The first strategy they used was to hold onto each others hand for awhile then let go because it would give them more speed. The last strategy they used was once they got pretty close to Robyn's house, was to get off there bikes so it made less noise and also because if something was to come they'd be able to run away quicker.

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

 I think he was reluctant to help them because if there was some sort of trouble he would get involved and get caught, which would mean he wouldn't be able to help and be there for his family anymore. If this was me I would probably help as much as I could but also remember that I have my own family and myself to look after.                                          

How has Homer changed in Ellie's eyes since the invasion?

Instead of Homer being a trouble Maker and not really helping out he has stepped up a lot and shown that he can be a leader and work together to survive.

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

There are two different types of soldiers; Professionals and the ones that were only there to make up numbers.

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

I think Robyn found the strength and got a sudden rush, she knew she and to help Lee out and that was the smartest and quickest idea which helped her out.

How have the group decided to rescue Lee, whose idea was this and why do they think it'll work?

They have decided to help her by putting her in some sort of trolley for awhile because it'll be the quickest way to get Lee to safety. Eventually they realized that they had to come up with a better idea to get them all back together so they used a digger to hold her in and carry her back to safety.

Why do you think happened to people who 'tried to be heroes'?

I think that if you tried to be heroes and save others they would see you as some type pf threat and just kill you.
