TWTWB Chapter Questions (Chapter Nine)

In English we are reading 'Tomorrow When The War Began'. After each chapter there are some
questions we need to answer. Here are the chapter Nine questions.


Why, in Ellie’s opinion, is Cobblers Bay and Wirrawee so important to the invaders? -
Because they can port into Cobblers Bay and then make their way inland via Wirrawee
undetected 

Corrie and Ellie reminisce about how innocent they were in high school and even a few days ago.
Why were they still innocent then? Why are they no longer innocent? - They were innocent then
because they thought they were safe, that nothing was wrong. They are no longer innocent
now because they realise that they were no longer safe, and will probably never feel safe again 

Why does Homer think splitting up is a good idea? - Because they can get more things done, and if
one group gets caught, then there are still the rest of them there.

Why do you think the author added the few lines about an Australian jet flying overhead? - To show
that Australia is trying to stop this, to get the invaders out. To show they aren’t the only people. 

By blowing up Corrie’s house, what does the invading force demonstrate to the teenagers? - That they
are in control, they can, and will, get them. That they can’t outsmart them.

Why do you think Corrie reacted the way she did? - her house just got blown up. Right in front
of her, all her memories, all her belongings, all her parents things, everything gone. Before this,
they weren't thinking this is all that bad, now they realise how serious this is.
