What do they find at ellie house

Part of a Creative Writing series of videos. Possibly hard to get now, except floating around in high school English department resource rooms. Skip to content. How many wars has New Zealand been involved in during the last 50 years?

September Are there any civil defence guidelines for what to do if New Zealand was attacked by another country? The narrator says that Robyn told her to write everything down. Ellie decides to go camping up in Hell.

The narrator introduces us to the members of the group. The group set up camp in Hell. They find a snake in a sleeping-bag. Ellie sees waves of jets flying overhead. Ellie blows up three soldiers with a ride-on lawn mower. They find Robyn in her own house, although she was meant to wait on the hill. They return to rescue Lee from the restaurant and destroy several vehicles on the way out. They find Chris in his pyjamas after rolling the car into the dam. They carry Lee back to Hell.

The group decides to do something to slow the enemy down. Fi and Ellie steal a petrol tanker and Ellie drives it to a secure location. Homer drives the cattle over the bridge using a camera flash to scare the cattle. The tanker blows up the bridge. We learn that Corrie has been shot. Kevin and Corrie leave the group for good.

Explain why this idea is important. Finally in this paragraph, explain how this is related to the fact that at this stage of the novel the teenagers see things in black in white.

Explain that this part of the book is important because the teenagers seem familiar to the audience, and can identify with them. You choose the incident, perhaps the lawnmower one. Explain that one of the reasons Marsden wrote the series was to show that under difficult circumstances, teenagers can shine.

And that this incident demonstrated the teenagers doing exactly that. The grounds are still set up for the Show, and games, rides, and food tents are erected everywhere. The parking lot is full of cars, and Ellie thinks about all the dogs who were probably left in the cars. She hopes someone let them out, at least. They watch the Showground for a few minutes, and Ellie sees one of her old teachers exit a tent and go into a portable toilet.

This is where they are holding everyone, Ellie thinks. As they approach the last tree, gunshots ring out into the air. Kevin tells them to run, and they all take off. The image of men with rifles against the backdrop of the festival is a striking contrast. The tents and rides connote childhood games and levity, but the presence of the armed soldiers connote brutality and war. As she runs next to Kevin and Corrie with bullets whizzing by, Ellie suddenly feels as if they are a family.

They run down a residential street, and Kevin leads them into a backyard, which is enclosed with old buildings lining the back. They are trapped, Ellie thinks, as Corrie stops and rubs her leg. She ran into something, Corrie says, and Kevin tells her it was a lawnmower—he almost hit it, too.

Terror strikes Ellie, and she looks around. She starts mumbling about the mower and petrol and immediately begins to look for matches or a cigarette lighter. Ellie finds a car in a nearby garage and locates a book of matches. At this point, all Ellie has are her friends, and they fill the void left by her missing family. Ellie is obviously scared when she realizes they are trapped, but she immediately jumps into action and formulates a plan on the spot, which again suggests she is quickly maturing.

Ellie goes back to Corrie and Kevin and asks where the lawnmower is. They finally find the mower, and Kevin removes the gas cap.

Then he takes off his shirt and soaks it in the tank, leaving a trail of fuel away from the mower and up a brick wall. The soldiers are gaining, and Ellie can hear their footsteps on the gravel. They hide in the darkness until the soldiers come up on the mower, and Ellie strikes a match. Kevin springs into action, too, and he seems to know what Ellie has planned without speaking. This type of performance under pressure implies that, like Ellie, Kevin is maturing on the spot as well.

She does, and it flames, but Ellie drops it too quickly. Even the same audition material. This was meant to be. Distractify is a registered trademark. All Rights Reserved. More Amazon News ». View all Streaming Sites.
