How does chapter 6 express freedom?

Well this first paragraph is going to be on the quote that was on Mr.Thomas's blog. From reading this thinking of freedom is quite easy for me. I think that this expresses freedom because well being capped seems to be a way of life there and they are used to it. Its kind of like well school for us its a way of life when you finish elementary then you go onto middle. With them when you finish being a child you move on to becoming a man or a lady. I guess well this is freedom for them. This means no more school and well you're and adult you can do your own things in life. This for them is happiness and I guess well happiness and freedom are 2 different things but well its the way that they live and this is freedom for them I guess. They are happy to be doing it and they know whats going to happen and what they are going to have to do. Also when he says "All the spirit and Gallantry was being wasted." well probably because this would lead to the exact opposite of freedom and peace and thats all you want. You don't want there to be war and people telling you what to do you want to be free so that is why they are just doing what they are meant to be doing get capped. This is good because they are getting what they need and after that they are done and its over and everything will be okay.

Another reason ( now this will relate to everything in chapter 6 ) well it says that they did not want boys to run away and there was a war once and they didn't like it at all. So they decided to just do what they were meant to do. Hopefully they would get used to it and that would turn into freedom for them. Women had some right not all and men were meant to stay strong and courageous. This would then not lead into any trouble. In this chapter it also shows there way of living and what they would do in there normal days. It showed that as I said before the rights and what people had to do. Boys again were not allowed run away from home as it was not accepted with the villagers. They wanted people to have spirit and courage. As it said in the book when a boy ran away from home it was counted as spirit in believing what was right to do and what was best for you. Wars were not allowed there was once and that led to so much trouble they decided that it was not allowed to ever have on again. This was definitely much more peaceful for the society but yet again we are talking about freedom and this well it did help people have freedom because well wars are mainly about freedom. With wars you are not allowed to do things and to go were you want you are stopped from these things. So without them it is a big help.

What I have thought about the last few chapters in the book.

1. How were the Tripods able to control people?

Well tripods are able to control people because well they brainwash them and put a big cap on their head which I think is probably giving them information on what to say and what to do and when to do it. I think that it provides information on what the Tripods want the people to do and since they have a big mettle cap on their head which the tripods are controlling (which again is what I think) they know what to do. I think that the Tripods just take out all of the information that the people knew before away and keep it in a different place and they add in information that the tripods want people to have like; to be happy with the tripods and to try and tell other people what to do so that the tripods will be able to control most of the people in the world. But yet again i'm not really sure what they do to control the people I am just trying to give the best possible answer I can. Another reason why I think that the tripods are able to control people is probably they have little controls inside the cap that when they want the person to do something all they have to do is well either press a button or think it and that will automatically make the person do it. Maybe they might put a different thing in their head they might just take the brain out completely and put in something new. I know that my answers sound kind of wacky but the story is very different from most just by the type of things that he writes about.

2. Find evidence (quotations from the novel) to show that even though Will is comfortable living at the castle, he is frustrated that the Comte, Comtesse, and Eloise have been capped.

" And I had despised them for it-despised even, for all their kindness to me and their goodness, the Comte and Comtesse. But not Eloise. I had thought her free, like myself!" It think that his shows comfort because well he has mentioned their kindness to him and how they have treated him really nice and they have not hurt him in any way. But also it seems like he is frustrated when he is talking about how he didn't want Eloise to be capped and how he wished she could have come with him to the White Mountains so that they could escape the capping. I do think that of course he would have been frustrated because well more people who he really like are capped and well he is basically the only one who isn't. He might feel lonely that all of his new friends are capped and he isn't. I would be frustrated because well I wouldn't really know what to do. Should I get capped? I would wonder or should I just stick to my journey and what I am meant to be doing? It should definitely be frustrating because you wouldn't know what to do.

3.. Find evidence (quotes) to show how Will feels about being capped.

" I almost hope it doesn't work. I'm not sure I would rather be a Vagrant."

Will seems well to me he sees like he is nervous and scared about it. He seems unsure what really to do until he comes to running away. But when he meets Eloise it all seems to change like he wants to be capped and he doesn't at the same time. He seems a bit confused in what to do and what he should do. If I were him I would just go with it and get capped I wouldn't want to but it would be a lot more trouble to run away from home. He still seems pretty determined to get to the White Mountains though so that he doesn't have to be capped. But I guess that, that is just his personality. But coming back to the question I think that he probably feels nervous, scared and really unsure what he should do. In the end of course he ends up running away. But when he meets Eloise it seems to change a little bit just because well since she has been capped you can kind of see it in the way he now acts really well yeah frustrated and unsure what to do. But he is so determined to get to the White Mountains this is making it really hard for him and really confusing.

How do I think BeanPole will help Henry and Will?

Well I think that he will help Henry and Will just because well he is actually really smart. Well the reason why I think that he will help Will and Henry on their journey is because well he is a really smart person and he seems to know his way around everywhere and he knows things that well the boys wouldn't have thought of. I think that he will help them when they are going through hard times just because he is very intelligent and gets really cool ideas. I think that is what they would need because whenever they are stuck they have somebody who is smart to come up with a good plan instead of them coming up with a bad idea. I'm not saying that they are not smart I am just saying that it would be better for them to have someone who knows what they are doing with them. Also he seems to know his way around and all of the short cuts to get places. So I think that will help them get to the White Mountains easier with a lot less trouble.

Since he knows short cuts and easier ways to get there I think that, that will make the journey a lot easier for Will and Henry. Just because he knows like people and he knows like transportation devices like when he got the horses and that was a lot easier than them having to walk and run. They would have taken a lot longer. Also that gave them a chance to rest. So that definitely makes their journey easier for them. He might even know things about the White Mountain that might help them. I think that he has a really nice personality and if Will and Henry get into a fight he will help them get back together and focus on what they are trying to do. Also he seems to have quite a determined personality which I think is what they need to keep them on track.
