Tomorrow when the war began - chapter 1

1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of first person narration? It can be confusing at time but at the same its helps to see it from their ponit of veiw.
2. Why do you think Ellie needs to tell the story in chronological order? so it makes more sense.
3. Pick one interesting word from the chapter, find its meaning, and explain why it is interesting. I didn't find any words that I found interesting.
4. John Marsden foreshadows several events and characters in this chapter. Make predictions based on the evidence in the text about what may occur later in the story. I think the trip will not go how they want it to.
5. What kind of story do you think Ellie is going to tell? Uses evidence from the text to support your answers. in the beginning of the chapter she procrastinates telling the story, i think she is doing this because its a hard story to tell.
6. What set of skills do these characters have that convince their parents that they can ‘go bush’ independently. Find examples for three characters. Ellie and corrie had been camping a lot.
