Tomorrow, When The War Began - Chapter 12

“They say teenagers can sleep all day”. Is this true? Do you agree? Does Ellie still see herself as a typical teenager?
I think it is true because some teenagers often stay awake past midnight. Especially in their condition, they didn't sleep properly so I believe that they can do that. Yes, I agree with this fact because I know some people or friends that can sleep an entire day. Ellie is not a typical teenager anymore because she already killed people and already did damage.

Ellie’s dream at the beginning of the chapter is rather nonsensical, as dreams are wont to be. Is there any meaning to it? Try and explain what Ellie’s subconscious could be thinking about: why is her dad cooking for the whole town? Why did Father Cronin ignore Ellie’s greeting? Why was Corrie 8 years old again? Why were they sailing off on a  boat? Why was Lee undressing?
I think there is meaning in Ellie's dream. I also think that he dreamed about his dad cooking for the whole town is because she misses him so much. It might also be a clue or a sign that his dad will have a huge impact on the story. It might be also that when the war is over they might have a huge celebration. The dream about Father Cronin ignoring Ellie's greeting is unusual because it's the first time that he is introduced in the story. It can be because that she killed other people so she committed a huge sin. Corrie is 8 years old again in her dream because it's like a throwback when they still play in the tree house. They were sailing off on a boat is probably another clue that they will go and ride a boat to go somewhere. Lee was undressing because Lee might also have feelings for Ellie. Or is it just because Ellie always thinks about Lee.

Why is it so terrible that Chris falls asleep while on sentry duty? How does Ellie react? Why do you think she reacts this way? How does she feel about her reaction later?
There might be soldiers patrolling the area that they were at so they could be caught if the one who is in the duty of looking after them is asleep. Ellie is frustrated about it because Chris already had enough sleep so he is the right person to be on guard. She did feel guilty about what she said to

Back in Hell, Ellie’s dreams are far more ominous. Explain why Ellie is dreaming of her fears.
Her mind is filled with terror by killing people and causing damage. All of her nightmares link to one topic which is death. I think she is still in shook after the lawn mower incident. I also think that she is afraid that one of her dreams to come true so it is basically giving her a warning.
