Tomorrow When The War Began - Chapter 17 & 18

1. Why does Ellie feel uncomfortable with Chris bringing cigarettes and alcohol into Hell? It's not the time for using this stuff. It might also affect their friendships because of the alcohol, and these two things are bad for their health. It's inappropriate to use and drink these two things because of their situation.
2. What is meant by a “clean war”? Why are the invaders so intent on having a ‘clean war’? The invaders said that they want this invasion to be a clean war, it probably means not having a tremendous amount of casualties around the place and not that much killing. The people who got captured are being treated nicely at the showground, but they still blew some houses and killed people.
3. What happened to the soldiers involved in the lawnmower incident, according to Robyn? How does this make Ellie feel? They died because of the explosion caused by Ellie. Two of them died and one is on the brink of death. Ellie felt shocked and she also felt guilty.
4. Why do you think prisoners are sent to clean up the houses around town? The invaders already said that they wanted to reduce the imbalance between the region. The invaders might be poor so they decided to take things like jewelry and other stuff. They might just need the stuff to support the life of the people in the showground.
5. What does Kevin want to bring into Hell by way of livestock? Do you think his idea is a good one? Why/why not? I think that it is a bad idea because it might change the forest and the animals living within it. It could also affect your crops.

Chapter 18

1. What does Ellie find primarily attractive about Lee? Ellie finds Lee intelligent, calm, and easy to talk to. She also likes the way Lee looks like. She also said that she felt calm and safe around Lee.
2. Who is she attracted to physically? She is physically attracted to Homer.
3. What are the group’s options according to Homer? Homer gave them three options. The first one is that they just stay in hell and keep grabbing supplies until a rescue or the invasion is over. The second option - which probably the most wanted option that they want to do - is to rescue and save their family in the showground, which just like Homer said, it's difficult to achieve and accomplish. The third and last option is to surrender so that they can be with their families again.
4. What do they decide to do and why? They decided to do something with the road at Cobbler's bay. They didn't specify what will they do or what they plan is but they said that they will plan something while they're in there.
