Tomorrow, When The War Began | Chapter 22 Final Questions

1. What do Ellie and the others see in Ellie’s shed when they ride up her driveway?

They see the others in there.

2. What does Ellie compare this scene with? Why do you think she does this?

Ellie compares the scene before her with a Christmas tableau with figures such as Mary, Joseph and the shepherds, standing the positions, life-like, but still. I don't quite know why she does this, it could have been something about them all that reminded her of the scene, or it could have a deeper meaning. Authors don't have intention behind every word, only most of them.

3. What does Homer suggest the group does?

Homer suggests that they leave Corrie in the car outside the hospital, ring the bell (ding dong) and ditch her there so she can get treatment for the bullet wound.

4. What does Kevin decide to do? What does this reveal about him?

Kevin decides that Homer's suggestion is out of the question, and instead drives her there himself so she can receive medical treatment. This would mean that they would likely be taken to the concentration camp with the others in the town after Corrie has been treated. This reveals something very important about Kevin's character. As we have not had much interaction with him as a character, compared to others such as Fi and Homer, we do learn a lot about him through this. Kevin is seen as argumentitive, partially rude, and pessimistic. We know this is not always the case, and likely was happening because of the sheer pressure surrounding the situation they were in. When Kevin chooses to do this, he, in another way, is sacrificing himself. The eight of them had freedom, they were not kept within the camp. But they could've left Corrie there, alone, but safe and treated. Instead, Kevin chooses to go with her. It shows us how brave he is.
