=THE PRISONERS. =

Then I threw my rifle away, turned and ran stumbling through the woods. I heard Corporal Foster calling to me to come back, I heard Dick Mundy Bill Nugent shouting, but I ran on and on, dodging behind trees and falling into shell holes, hiding and trembling and then running forward again. Finally I came to an old barn and hid their behind a pile of refuse and tried to think of what I had done. I had no friends to shield me. I could not speak French. I didn’t have a chance. I would be picked up by the military the police sooner or later and tried as a deserter. That was inevitable, I knew. . . ‘Better give myself up and get it over with, I decided; ‘maybe I’ll get off with twenty years. Twenty years isn’t such a long time. I thought. ‘I’ll only be forty-two, when I come out, and I can start life all over again. . . .’ When we got the prisoners lined up, and had started them out of the pit, Walt Drury made a funny noise, threw his rifle away and ran through the woods. . . ‘Walt, I called. – ‘Walt!’ I just wanted him to stop and come back and just get it over and done with so nothing bad would happen to him. ‘Let him alone, said Corporal Foster, ‘he’ll get his later.’ Then the prisoners came out of the pit stolidly with their heads lowered, neither looking to the right nor the left, the wood had been raked by artillery fire but recently, and the leaves that clung to the shattered trees had been scored by shrapnel, leaving the whitish skin of the trees exposed, with sap draining slowly. . . ‘Come on, said Foster. ‘Come on. Let’s get going before dark.’ We picked our way through the wrecked wood lifting aside the trailing branches, kicking with our boots the leaves that had rained down and made a green carpet. When we reached the entrance to the ravine, the prisoners drew back, frightened, and began to talk excitedly amongst themselves, then, glancing apprehensively over their shoulders; they entered, one by one, and huddled against the far bank. One of the prisoners had very blue eyes and didn’t seem frightened at all. He began to talk to his comrades, smiling and shaking his head. I couldn’t understand what he is saying, but I had an idea he was telling them not to worry because there was nothing to fear. . .?

=The = =Bayeux = =Tapestry =

 Background of the tapestry The Bayeux tapestry about the battle of hasting was made by the English nuns and designed by the Normans. It was made in 1066; No one knows how long it took to make but it was made to show the towns and us today how everything happened in the great and heroic battle of Hastings. It’s possible that the tapestry was a lie and not everything on the tapestry actually went completely different and the real truth was that the Normans nearly lost to the Saxons but the tapestry says otherwise because it was written by the Normans so they wrote history in their own words but if the Saxons won the tapestry would be a whole different story. 

What kind of evidence is the tapestry? The tapestry is primary evidence because, the evidence of what the tapestry was written on which was a type of fabric, and how it was written with the very basic colours of ink, to write with to just tell the story but in detail because they had to. The tapestry was also secondary evidence because, of what soldiers that survived might have seen and what they will tell people when they get home but some people might not believe them after reading the tapestry because it was written by the victors and told in the Normans own words.

 First possible cause of death. The theory and evidence of Harold’s first cause of death was that when Harold swore to the king that he would always be loyal to Prince William which got him his crown. He didn’t mean that promise it was all a lie so one of the greatest punishments for someone who lied in front of god was to gouge their eyes out with sticks or sharp things. So while the war was going on someone got hit in the eye with an arrow. On the tapestry everybody thought that this person was Harold because it was his punishment for lying in front god. Then everybody thought this was just some normal warrior dying. <span style="border-bottom: #4f81bd 1pt solid; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; display: block; margin-left: 0.65in; margin-right: 0.65in; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #4f81bd .5pt; mso-border-bottom-themecolor: accent1; mso-element: para-border-div; padding-bottom: 4pt; padding-left: 0in; padding-right: 0in; padding-top: 0in;"> Second possible cause of death.

<span style="font-family: 'Copperplate Gothic Bold','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The second theory about Harold’s death was He was the soldier with the sword in his chest. Historians thought it was more likely to be Harold because man was actually dead not just wounded by an arrow in the eye. <span style="font-family: 'Copperplate Gothic Bold','sans-serif'; font-size: 8pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The tapestry said in Latin here’s “the death of Harold the King”. The man historians believe to be Harold is the man under the word “dead”, rather than the man under the word “Harold”. It would be important propaganda for the Normans that the Saxons believed there leader was dead. It would follow therefore that the man with the sword through his body and under the word “dead” was meant to be Harold. If the Saxons believed that their leader was dead they would be more likely to submit to Normans than if they had a secret hope that he had survived the battle.

Because on the part of the tapestry where it says in Latin “here’s the death of Harold the king”. It would be important propaganda for the Normans that the Saxons believed there leader was dead. Everybody thinks Harold is the one with the arrow in his eye but he is not dead he is just wounded but he wasn’t actually dead but if you follow the words at the top of the tapestry straight under ‘dead’ there is a man with a sword through his chest. He is also wearing different cloths to all the other nights and also the night with the arrow in his eye his cloths look like they would belong to a King and that’s how I think Harold died. = REFERENCES =

=<span style="color: #365f91; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 28pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 24pt 0in 0pt;">THE MIGHTY DEEDS OF BOEWULF! = <span style="font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The great heroic story of Beowulf and Grendel well it all started when the town was having a celebration party when a huge “deformed troll” walked through the thick wooden doors and took thirty of the towns people and ran into the swamp and then Beowulf came and decided to have a little talk to Grendel so he invited Grendel into town and the he killed him and ripped off his arm and hung it in the town hall to celebrate Grendel’s death then Grendel’s mother was very upset because of his death so she came to take his arm away so she could feel like he is there again then the next day Beowulf went into the swamp and killed Grendel’s mother then walked into town with Grendel’s mothers head.

=<span style="color: #365f91; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 22pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 24pt 0in 0pt;">How is the horror of Grendel conveyed? =

<span style="font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The horror of Grendel was conveyed by the author by him using a number of different poetic techniques to make his writing more powerful to put more fear in people about Grendel. The similes were used so well to describe the structure of Grendel when he stood there “breathing like a polar wind”. The author also used metaphors to really describe how the mood was changing for Beowulf when it “was a starless night the world was covered in a blanket of shadow”, also at the time of the fight between Grendel and Beowulf “terror stalked the land”. The author also used appearance to describe how Grendel look he was a “mottled creature, a deformed troll” deformed and mottled are also used and powerful adjectives, to describe the look of someone. He also used an amazing technique of alliterations to show how the swamp felt like “he was going into the slimy, slippery, slurpy, sticky swamp to look for Grendel’s mother”. The author has also used a great amount of short sentences and paragraphs to space out the story to make more sense for the readers. The author also used a great detail in his assonance which is like when you saying the same thing and word but it’s just shorter like “give ear” instead of “listen here”.

<span style="font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I arrived at school. Then instead of everybody coming up and saying hi and hugging me, they just looked and walked away. So I decided to ask one of my really good friends what was wrong, and he said to me “why did you do it” then I looked at him in confusion. So I tried to talk to other people and they just gave me greasies. Know I was really confused. So I went and spoke to a teacher. <span style="font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Then I told them what had been happening this morning and she said “well you might have done something wrong or been mean to a particular person”. “Have you done anything like that”, and then I remembered on the weekend I was talking to a boy on face book his name was James. I remember him saying to me can I be your friend, and to be cool I said “no you’re not cool and I don’t like you” and I started bullying him. <span style="font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Then I left and I was telling my good friend from school about it but then I don’t know how everybody found out it was probably my good friend well I will need to have a talk to him. Then I went to his house after school and knocked on the front door and he answered and he said to me “I’m really sorry I didn’t mean to tell everybody that you bullied him” and I said back “that’s exactly why I’m here so get talking” so he told me everything that happened and I said “well for your repayment you can sent out a letter saying sorry from me” and then all my friends forgot about it and we were all friends again.

<span style="font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">One dark, damp and horrible day there was a man his name was Dave he lived in a little village called the village of Duncan. When you talk to him face to face he seems like a reasonable man not too big and grumpy but you kind of think that when he stands tall and lumpy. He stands about seven foot tall and weighs 108 kilograms and that’s not small. Sometimes if you say the wrong things to Dave which you don’t want to do he might scare you just a enough to make you just a little number two. <span style="font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">He the most muscled man you’ve ever seen and you just think what does he do for a job is he like a super hero, well let me tell you no he is not. He is just one of those men who work hard all day and don’t stop until he thinks that he has done a good days work. Dave also has an ordinary family to he has a great house wife that does all the house stuff and keeps the family running and two kids which are both boys their names are James and Daniel and they both want to grow up and be just like their dad. <span style="font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">But what they don’t know is what their dad does when he is not doing his normal job. He goes out every so often but he doesn’t just go on a walk he packs a bag with food water and his weapon on his back and he goes hunting. Not just for foxes and pigs he goes hunting for bigger things like trolls, giants, giants man eating pigs and those nasty witches then one day there was a huge BANG! In the forest like one has never heard before so he went to investigate and there right in front of him stood about 10 metres tall was a dragon with the biggest claws you’ve ever seen and a jaw like a razor blade so he followed it to where it went and the first place it went was the water hole to refresh him. Then as soon as he finished he flew straight to the village and then mayhem started. <span style="font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">He was knocking down buildings and threatening people’s lives so Dave thought I really need to do something so he grabbed out his weapon and started to distract it by hitting its tail then it swung around had hit him to the ground then Dave’s first response was “now you’ve made me angry” so Dave got up and jumped on his back and started strangling the dragon with a bit of rope the as quick as the dragon could he turned and bit Dave right on the arm and his arm was only holding on by a thread and he was yelling like never be for “ARRRGH MY ARM!!!” now Dave was really angry and all he wanted to do was destroy this dragon to save his village so he called his good friend barn then Dave said throw me my sword and with two slashes the dragon was dead one to the neck and one in the heart. Then he slowly fell off the dragon down to his wife and his wife said “oh honey are you ok” and Dave replied “yes dear just another day in battle and then his wife said “oh you’re so brave Dave make cantebry to me now” and Dave said oh whatever you say and then they lived happily ever after. But what about his arm that was hanging by a thread you ask well that’s another story. . .?

As he leaned against the cold stone wall of the big stair well they were in. outside there was laugher breaking out everywhere from all the guards as they all spread the news about the out numbering against Daedalus and they gave him some big blows to the whole body and they were very proud of themselves when they broke his nose. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Chalk Board'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 115%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">What next? Icarus grinned. There was a lot of noise coming from outside but the one noise they were both interested in was the hammering of the guards. Then Daedalus took a few passes forward to the start of the stair well. Then he checked his leg for bruises then he leant over to lean on the wall for support but the walls felt cold and there was a weird smell of cob webs and moss-mould. Then they realized there <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 115%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">’ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Chalk Board'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 115%; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">s light coming from the top of the tower so they start to follow so Daedalus waves Icarus over.

The Aztecs established in the Valley of Mexico, near Lake Texcoco. They built their first temples in Tenochtitlan. They were a warrior based culture, and continued to conquer and expand. At one point their empire spread throughout a majority of Mexico. It is believed that they may have even gone as far north as what is now known as the south-western United States.They lived in Tenochtitlan which was in the middle of Lake Texcoco. This place is now modern day Mexico City. They lived from 1168 A.C. to 1520 A.D. From about 1325 to 1519 when they were conquered by the Spanish. Also, some believe they were around from as early as about 1100.

Most Aztec households included the husband and wife and their unmarried children. In addition, many of the husband ’ s relatives lived with in the home. The Aztec daily life was filled with work. Every member of the household, including children, helped in the household. Many also created goods that could be used by the empire in trade for goods that were highly valued in the Aztec culture, such as Jaguar skins. Education was important to the Aztec people. Fathers were responsible for educating the boys in the family until they reached the age of 10. After this age, the boys were educated in a school connected with a temple. These schools taught religion and provided military training. Girls sometimes attended these schools, as well. Otherwise, they stayed at home and learned household skills important to daily life from their mothers. = = = = =__<span style="font-family: 'Cooper Black','serif'; font-size: 24px; line-height: 115%;">Tenochtitlan; land of Mexico: __=

The siege of Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire, came about in 1521 through the manipulation of local factions and divisions by Spanish //conquistador// Herman Cortés. Though numerous battles were fought between the Aztecs and the Spanish army, which was composed of predominantly indigenous peoples, it was the siege of Tenochtitlan that was the final, decisive battle that led to the downfall of the Aztec civilization and marked the end of the first phase of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. The conquest of Mexico was part of the Spanish colonization of the Americas.

Eventually the Aztecs could hold out on longer. The Spanish fought their way into the city centre and slaughtered inhabitants. With the fall of Tenochtitlan, virtually all Aztec resistance ended. Cortes was appointed governor of New Spain; the land previously ruled by the Aztecs, but few years later was replaced. He returned to Spain where he was ignored by the king. Cortes died in 1547, unhappy and bitter.

The Aztec Empire dominated Mesoamerica from Mexico and Guatemala to the territories of Salvador and Honduras in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries for almost one hundred years. This was at the same time as the Inca Empire in Peru. The Aztec empire was made up of the native people who were called the Nahuatl-speakers and the Culhuacan-Mexico, who had come from the Pacific Northwest and settled in the area which would become the capital of Mexico, Tenochtitlan. The Aztecs began their reign in 1427 after the leader, Itzcoatl, with the assistance of surrounding cities, defeated the Tepaneca and gained control of the Mexican basin. The Tenochcas slowly became more powerful and skilled in warfare, so that various peoples of the area wanted to become allies with them in the constant conflicts between the tribes.

There <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12px;">’ s little doubt that the ritual Aztec sacrifice contributed to the fall of the Aztec Empire, and in more ways than one. First, killing thousands of people, whether you or your neighbours, simply can't be good for a society. The loss of people in a loss that can't be calculated. Who knows how it would have been different if these people and their children had swelled the ranks that fought the Spanish, not to mention the other contributions they would have made.And although the Aztecs certainly weren't the first people ever to sacrifice humans, the fact that they did and the incredible number they sacrificed led to the hatred of some of the surrounding peoples. The powerful city-state of Tlaxcala was one of these. Many of their own had been sacrificed, and in the end they joined the Spaniards to fight the Aztecs. It may be that the Spanish simply were an excuse to start what was already an inevitable civil war.

Because as Michelangelo shows man is touching gods finger like he is getting direct power from god to make a perfect society, and showing that man can have a direct relationship with god. But what god is riding on is like a brain shaped cloud which is also showing that god could just be a figure of your imagination but you can have a direct relationship with him if you really think you need to. Also they are almost touching fingers so that could mean a couple of different things god is giving man power to make a society or man is giving god power or man is just trying to have a direct relationship with god, which people from the middle ages don’t believe the think you can only have a relationship with the church and they will get you to god. =__ 2. __= <span style="font-family: 'Cooper Black','serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 115%;">The art work by Johannes Gutenberg who invented the printing press is showing a group of men working in a factory using the printing press which shows that he thinks to make a better society is to give everyone education even if he came from the time where women weren’t allowed education. But he is also saying that all humans are different and it doesn’t matter if they are because god created us all differently, and some of us might be god’s special people and others might be the new Alfred Einstein. The human society is made up of all different people and all those different people can do their part to keeping the society running even if they are not as smart as the people who got chosen to lead the society or the people that just can’t do anything else to make society better everybody can put in a bit of effort and a society like that could go a long way. =__ 3. __= <span style="font-family: 'Cooper Black','serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 115%;">The art work by Leonardo da Vinci is interesting this is a painting of a child in a fete’s photo of a baby in the mother’s stomach. This shows how the whole baby being born thing happens. But this is not a real baby in a stomach it is a dead baby that has been used by Leonardo da Vinci, because he didn’t think using dead babies was bad because if life goes on and you will end up dying unless you have an illness that makes you live longer. But this probably would not be so when you die it’s really sad but when you die you lose your spirit and Leonardo thought that’s was ok to just lose the spirit. When people die they leave there corps and some scientist do that as a job they search the corps to see if there is anything new or interesting to be discovered, and Leonardo uses them to paint about and he thinks these are interesting things to paint, and he also thinks science is the way forward so if you ever want to know anything you should ask scientists. This was a way to search the human body without hurting them if they were alive so they use already dead bodies to look over and inspect but people who do that they just think of the dead bodies as just animals not human beings because they are already dead, but if they weren’t dead other humans would treat them like normal humans it’s just when a person is dead they think differently.

Not like the old days where if you had a son he would be the prince then when he got old enough and his father dies he would move to king and when he is ready he would find a wife ect. And there is nothing good about that cause that just passes on through the family where if its all different people all going for different goals you actually have a hope that you may one day have a perfect society in like if you had the old style king queen and all that people start hating on someone who they don’t like and then will end up murdering them or trying heaps of ways to get rid of them but if you have the new style you would have heaps of different people and all people get a chance to vote for whoever they like more. =__ 6. __= <span style="font-family: 'Cooper Black','serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 115%;">The statement that Immanuel Kant wrote ‘enlightenment is man’s emergence from self-incurred immaturity.’ This means that some people who don’t think they like being themselves they are choosing to be someone else who they have seen and they have everything and that person wishes that he can have everything so he chooses to act like someone else. When this happens they give up on everything that they actually did and they try for new goals even if they are out of the persons reach he will still go for them to be just like that person they saw first so they will strive to be exactly like them or even better if they think they can but whatever they do and whatever they try to do to get up to that persons standards it will always end up crashing down on top of them because it is just not a humans nature to try and be someone else and if they do try the person will end up finding out and they will sue you or try to do anything to get the person away from them so they can live there life like normal but still the other person will end up depressed or under pressure to do things they normally wouldn’t so they just shouldn’t try to be someone else because it will always end up bad. = = =__ 7. __= <span style="font-family: 'Cooper Black','serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 115%;">The long statement written by Thomas More is stating that with a society to make it the perfect society you can’t leave anybody out you need to have everybody in a society to make it run like it does and if you think splitting people up into groups of who is smarter and who is weaker and who is stronger the society wont flow like its meant to and each group won’t get along and wont communicate because they have been split up into their own groups and their own area so they won’t know how to communicate to the different people because you haven’t met them and you don’t know how they act. So if you really want a society to work you need all your people to be together so u can talk to them all and make sure what they are all doing and make sure they are putting in there part in to the society to keep it up and running all the right way people want it to and so the other people are safe and all people will feel equal and not like they have been left out of the whole society. =__ 8. __= <span style="font-family: 'Cooper Black','serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 115%;">The statement written by Galileo is stating that our kids growing up today will know what they have to know while they grow up but if you don’t care about what your child looks at they might see more than they are meant to and if they see that before you know they are looking and thinking of stuff like that you can’t stop them from that and you can’t protect your kids from knowledge if they start finding out things you don’t want them to before you can stop them and if you can’t well they will just run wild with knowledge about anything good things, bad things just everything and if it is those bad things well anything could happen because you don’t know what they are thinking and you don’t know what they are capable of if they know heaps of different things from the things they have learnt.

=__ Tomorrow when the war began Q. __= 2. My opinion is that murder in war is wrong, because war its self-conflicts enough damage and then going and killing innocent people while trying to eliminate the other side of war fare is just wrong. There isn’t a way to solve conflict between two sides without some sort of warfare or punishment to either side. But there should be because all there is when something goes wrong between two sides is a fight or a war starts. One side will start the attack and the other side can’t just sit there and not do anything and let the other side keep fighting because they are killing innocent people so they are forced to do something to get rid of the enemy. Once you have been forced into war you have to do things that you really don’t want to do. Some of those things may have to be killing but there it is wrong. 3. I believe that the enemy soldiers would have been very justified not to treat Corrie because the enemy new they were the ones who were invading. They knew that some people would try and attack and get rid of them so they started to fight back and if they had refused they would have been doing the wrong thing, because it was them who started this. And when people get hurt and u can’t care for them you should be able to take them somewhere that they can be treated. That was with the enemy. 4. I believe that there can never be a clean war because if there is a war it is called a war because of the damage they do to the surroundings they are in and the people who they kill and when people die and surroundings are blown to pieces that is not a clean war and all wars have been like that and there will never be such thing as a clean war. 5. I believe that the situation isn’t any less fare than Australia being rich and not sharing, because it is Australia’s wealth and we get the choice of what we do with it. Then this random attack on our country doesn’t mean they get the choice to use our money any way they want. We have our rights and if they want to come and think they can take over everything and run our country the way they want well there wrong. If we have people come to our country we get to decide what they do so they can’t just take over with the power we have with our governments and political structure and they think they can just invade, and be the rulers.

Dear Miss Billett,

The last thing I wish to do is be here where I am now because my home sounds really good at the moment. We need a leader to help us and we all agree that Ellie should the main leader of the group because she always knows how to act in a time of need or a hard time when we are in trouble and she is always organizing the group and thinking of ideas that would help us get that little step closer to our family and friends, and home. But at different times there are different leaders and this is because when Ellie is not standing out and just telling our story other people stand in, not to take her place just to show the group they can do something to help us all to get closer to our family and friends as well like when ellie has to light the match and she can’t do it because of the shakes Kevin stands in and helps out and lets her know that’s it’s not just her there and everyone’s not just relying on her to get everything done and he whispers to her ‘do it’ and ellie feels a bit of wait taken of her shoulders and then she can feel she can do it but it’s still wrong in a way.

=__ Task 2 __=


 * 1) Ellie is the main leader of the group, because she is always organizing the group and helping out to get the challenging things done. She is the bravest person out of all of them all, “so she lit the match and threw it to the ground,” The boys might seem stronger with the height of them and their muscles, but they might be at some point when ellie has to light the match but she has the shakes, Kevin stands in and whispers “do it so she lights the match and throws it towards the lawn mower. “All the people in this story do show a part of leader ship by standing in and helping out any time to help the whole team live to the next day and to their next challenge as when homer said “here guys we have three options take them or just stay here and hide and don’t help us do anything to get our family and friends back.” Which means homer is saying come with us who are in and help us get our families back and safe and get rid of these invaders.


 * 1) In the group ellie showed the most courage. Because before the invaders came she lived a life of reliability she had people that could look out for her and get things done if she couldn’t but then when they left for that camping trip she had do everything herself but she had help from her friends but she has to get things she gets told to done, “then Kevin stands and whispers “do it” then she threw the match to the ground.” Which means that she still has to make a decision but if she takes too long her friends are there to help get struggling things done so she doesn’t have to take all the reliability like the whole group relies on her which is good because that means other people can stand in and use leadership like when homer said, “ok you all have three choices and if you don’t choose you can all stay here and lay low.” Which means that homer is standing up and being a leader but not taking over Ellie’s role because I believe she is the main leader because she is always organising the whole group and getting them ready for the next day and the next challenge as when she said, “ok we have got through this day but the next day come there’s a new challenge to start.”


 * 1) Ellie is concerned by Chris because he is on drugs and drinks a lot of beer and alcohol that he will put the group under threat by if he is always on those things he could get really sick or die and they can’t do it all and they would have to take him to the hospital. If the relationships break up between the group would put all of them under stress because they all need to work together and be able to talk to each other about things that may be completely random or private things that they want to get off their chest and if they can’t do that well the test that lies ahead for their group are really not good because if their friendship doesn’t stay after their relationships break up well hell will break loose between the group because there will be no communication between them all and that means that won’t know who to trust because Chris with his drugs if they don’t talk to him he could do anything with them.


 * 1) John Marsden added Christie in the novel because he wanted to add more tension in the story and they tell the story about Christie being in the war which Is also like ellie and her friends being in the middle of an invasion and Christie had to kill people in the war which is the same as ellie when she has to kill some invaders and it is just showing if u have to make a decision u have to think before and then do it and in this case they both had to kill someone so they had to think fast about how they did it and ellie reacts straight away and lights the match but Christie had to make a different decision because it was his family and you can’t just kill people for no reason there has to be a reason on killing a man or a women so ellie chose to kill the invaders but there are two stories for Christie so you don’t know which one to believe. So it’s completely different story between them both but between ellie and Christie they aren’t that different just ellie had an easier decision to make cause she wants to get rid of the invaders and Christie had to let his family burn or shoot them so they don’t suffer.

> 1. Throughout the novel Ellie had the biggest change. At the beginning of the novel Ellie was just one of those people who had all those things that she could rely on and always come back to, but once the invaders came and took over and took her family and friends all those things started to just go away. She could not do follow her old routines without them so as the story went on she had to change what she believed and what she capable of. At the start of the novel she started like one of those normal out back girls that can get jobs done but then by the end she, “can see their faces.” This means she is capable of killing a human being but when she has to kill them she struggles because she doesn’t believe it as when she can’t light the match because she has the shakes then Kevin leans in and said, “come on do it.” This allows Ellie to do it without the whole group relying on Ellie to do it all. This means as things around Ellie start to change, and she starts to lose things she needs too, she needs to change with them. > 2. Homer had all the ideas and was smart that why and coming up with the plans to ‘rescue’ Lee and destroy the bridge. Homer thought his idea and plan to ‘rescue’ Lee he thought it was a really good idea. The bucket of the truck was like a bullet proof box that’s was unstoppable. This is good because Lee would have been shot, if it wasn’t for the bucket on the truck. The only problem with Lee being in the bucket at this time is that Ellie is not able to use the bucket to knock things over, with Lee in the bucket because then lee would be at risk of being hurt or killed. Homer’s plan to destroy the bridge was really helpful. It stopped more ‘enemies’ to come in for their backup since it was the only way into the town. The only problem with blowing up the bridge was that no one could get out or in. Homer was really smart by the way the convoys went over the bridge. “[They will] wait for a convoy to go through, which seems to get the soldiers up to the right end of the bridge.” Homer’s planes stopped many of convoys coming in. > 3. Ellie was believed to be a good person but bad at the same time. For starters killing people is not right, but in war, killing people is what you have to do to stay alive and to beat the other side the ‘enemies’. When Ellie had the ides to make the ride on mower as a bomb, she killed three people. However if she didn’t kill these three ‘enemies’ Ellie, Corrie and Kevin could have been shot and even killed. When the group blew up the bridge, they would have most likely killed a couple of ‘soldiers’. They all knew that they had to do it so no more ‘enemies’ could get in. If there was not a war and Ellie killed someone she would have been sent to jail for a so called murder. However if there was a war and Ellie killed someone like (a soldier) she would not be put into jail because she is defending their country. In a war, a person cannot be either good or bad because either way if you try and be good you will always end up bad and if u want to be straight out bad well there will be a lot of deaths for the enemies. > 4. Chris was not meant to belong in their group. All Chris did was slow the group down and put the group at risk when he should have been guarding the group. When he was asleep, the ‘enemy’ could have come in and killed every one in their group that were in the house. They lost the trust in him to guard the group from the enemies because he was put in this position because they had trust in him to protect them all. He did not put his ideas out there to share with the group. Chris also took cigarettes out of someone’s house while they were going through all houses. He was taking things that weren’t important and they didn’t need to get the group through all the days. He did not do anything helpful for the group.
