#1 ELLIE 

    Ellie is the main contributor, she's knows how to do every outdoor activity they need to do, she agrees to go on all missions and keeps everyone safe and sound throughout the book as much she can. Ellie is the narrator of the book, she is chosen at the start of the book to write about their camping adventure. She tells her stories well, including everyone's emotions, all the events and every detail of what's going on around them. She showed many aspects of strength and resilience throughout the book, for example she blows up a ride on lawnmower to get away from the soldiers. She also along with Homer went back into town, still flooded with dangerous, nasty soldiers to look for Robyn and Lee. She also killed to keep her and her friends safe. Ellie also stole a  bull dozer to rescue Lee  and along with Fi stole a petrol tanker to continue their mission of blowing up the bridge. She shows strength by pushing through everything and always being on top of everything although they are all going through a tough time, she puts her closest before her as much  as she can, and she always had some part in every even as she was most experienced with most things.


    #2 HOMER


    Personally, Homer was one of the main contributors to the groups survival, he matured hugely not only for himself but also to keep his friends safe.Homer changes throughout the novel, from the crazy immature kid to a leader full of Ideas and sense. I saw Homer as a great example of strength and resilience mainly because of his change and focus on being able to change for the people around him, not focusing on himself for a change. He was a very strong character in the book, always giving out as many ideas as he could and agreeing to go on all the missions. Saving some of his friends lives along with the that. He showed major maturity by sharing his idea of having to set up a permanent camp in hell to keep them safe. He was a huge part in the biggest event in the book, blowing up the bridge, mainly because it was his idea, even though Ellie and Fi stole the petrol tanker he thought of the whole thing and released the cattle to complete the last part of the plan.

    INTRODUCTION

    Hi, my names Bonnie Trezise. I am 14 years old and in year 9. This blog page is about the book, Tomorrow When the War Began, by John Marsden, And my thoughts and ideas on strength and resilience.  Strength is the quality or state of being physically strong and resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness. To me, both these are very important things to have, they both do you very well, and they are shown greatly in Marsden’s book. The book tells the story about Ellie and her friends going camping in the Australian bush, one night they hear loud noises and see jets flying overhead… On their return they come home to find their family's gone, and they're pets dead. They've only got themselves and they need to figure out what's going on, where they’re families are and how they can stop all of this. Four characters in the book who I think showed great aspects of strength and resilience and contributed to the overall survival in Hell and during ...

    WHICH CHARACTER DO I BELIEVE IS MOST LIKLEY TO SURVIVE IN THE WAR AND WHY?

    ELLIE LINTON Survival takes a lot, especially in war. One person who i think would be able to survive the war is Ellie Linton, from John Marsden’s book, ‘Tomorrow When the War Began’. My reasons for this being, she's very brave & strong, courageous and a good leader. I think Ellie is most likely to survive because she's brave, strong and believes in herself and the group. Bravery is a very important to thing to have when all you have to rely on is yourself. Ellie earns her bravery a lot throughout Marsden’s book, she does many things you can't imagine people doing. For instant, she blew up a ride on mower to save her and her 2 friends after being chased by a soldier just past the show ground, she also stole a bulldozer to save her friend, who had just been shot in the leg by a soldier. Marsden quotes in the book Ellie saying ‘I’m not gonna hold back. I warned the others that I wouldn’t. Recording like this is so important to us. I guess it’s our way of tellin...
