 Chapter Eleven

 1. How does Ellie feel as she is waiting in the truck at the Council Depot?
     Where do her emotions come from?
Ellie felt cold, fear and excitement. The greatest of these was fear which comes from her love.

 2. Why are the girls smiling when in danger? Is this a logical response?
They are laughing out of nervousness and at the way they are going about things and how everything is happening. I think it is a logical response because if I was in the situation I'd be laughing out of nervousness too. This is nervous energy.

 3. What does wearing a helmet and buckling up mean to the girls?
The helmet can protect them from getting a far more worse injury than death.
It's the difference between brain damage and death.

 4. What does Chris’s story say about the town? 
Chris found lots of things that showed signs of suspicion like peoples homes been blown up or a car that crashed with dead people, but they didn't die from the crash because there were bullet wounds. Which says that someones come into their town and have attacked them. They spread out and killed people instead of just being at the showground.

 5. What impact does the BMW have on the story? Does Chris seem lonely? Explain your answer? 
The car helps them escape and the truck was loud and noisy which almost resulted in their death. The sound of the car falling into the river also brings Chris out of his hiding place, and if they hadn't gotten rid of it, it would give away their hiding place. Chris does seem lonely and he was a quiet person but he hadn't talked to someone in so long he became the life of the party.

 6. What is Homer’s explanation for the need to swap cars at Chris Lang’s place?
 What does this show about the way he is thinking?
If the soldiers find the vehicle outside Chris's house they might think there is a connection between the car and Chris's family so they could harm Chris's family. It also gives it away. This shows that Homer is thinking strategically and making sure they aren't leaving traces of themselves. Homer is also thinking ahead meaning he's putting himself in the enemies shoes and think about what he'd do if he was looking for people.

 7. What are your thoughts on the story so far...
The story is becoming more interesting now because we are getting more of an insight to what everyone is thinking and also what the enemies are thinking like at first they were jumpy and a bit frightened too, but now they have gained a lot more confidence.
