Tomorrow When the War Began Week 2.2

Character Development

One of my favourite characters in the book, Lee was the person I expected to change the most throughout the book, but after reading more of the book, I may be wrong for now. Homer has changed completely, from being a "cool" kid at school you couldn't trust at all, to a leader that you put all your trust into. Part of the reason I think he has stepped up is because he may of been dreaming of this day coming, the day when he can step up and become the leader and be a national hero, rather than the schoolyard bully. I still think Lee will develop as a character at the end of the book. The only reason he hasn't developed as much is (about to give a bit of a spoiler) because he was shot, and all he could do was lay down and wait for his leg to heal. I'm starting the think that Robyn will also develop heaps since she has learnt how to inject pain killers, take out stitches and is willing to take risks. They are what I think are the most noticable character changes in the book so far.

  1. Finally. I am glad you can acknowledge the truth that Homer is developing into a respected and mature adult
