Tomorrow When The War Began - Chapter 11

How does Ellie feel as she is waiting in the truck at the Council Depot? Where do her emotions come from?  She felt cold, fear but also excited on about what's going to happen. Above all of her emotions, fear is taking over because what she's about to do can take her life away from her, she can also take away other people's lives like the soldiers. She also felt fear because she does not want to lose her friends especially in times like this when you need them.


Why are the girls smiling when in danger? Is this a logical response?
It's basically the only way that they can feel or do because the situation that they are in is scary but their adrenaline or they are in the zone so all that they can do is laugh.


What does wearing a helmet and buckling up mean to the girls?
It means that they need to be careful about what is going on. The soldiers are firing at them so wearing a helmet can't really deflect the bullet but it can lessen the damage. Ellie said to buckle up because her head is bleeding, she also said that she couldn't see properly so if something bad or an accident happens, they are safe because they have their seatbelts on.

What does Chris’s story say about the town?
The way he explains it is like he is still shocked on about what's going on. He also explained it in every detail on what happened while Ellie and the others are gone. He is shocked because the war happened so fast. They were celebrating Commemoration Day which suppose to be a joyful day turns into a depression in a blink of an eye.

What impact does the BMW have on the story? Does Chris seem lonely? Explain your answer?
The BMW made a huge impact on the story by different sorts of things. For example, it helps them escape the soldiers by changing their vehicle. It also helps to introduce Chris to the story. Everybody suggested throwing the BMW straight to the dam so there is no evidence left out that they have been in that place. When they threw the BWM away, Chris showed up because of the noise he heard.

No, Chris is not lonely because he is probably thought that maybe other people just like him survived and just lurking and hiding everywhere. Yes, he is lonely for this past couple of days but he is not lonely.

What is Homer’s explanation for the need to swap cars at Chris Lang’s place? What does this show about the way he is thinking?
Homer is putting himself in the invader's shoes. He is thinking and imagining if he is with the invaders, what will they do or see to find out where other survivors can be hiding or heading which then causes him to make plans and strategies. When the invasion began, Homer started to act mature and make this kind of plans that benefit the group.

What are your thoughts on the story so far...
I'm interested in what's about to happen in the next chapters. I want to know if they can survive this war. I also want to know if their small group change and turn into a small army that can fight back.
