Final White Mountains

I am choosing how Will has changed. Everyone in the story has changed but I'd like to focus on Will. Will changed the most and he was also the main character. Henry and Beanpole changed him, and the journey itself.

In the beginning Will was this jerk who didn't care about anyone but himself and a little bit Jack. When Henry decided to come with Will, Will was not happy he was very mad at Henry. Will was self-centered! Once he realized what happened to Jack after the capping Will was willing to make the journey to the White Mountains not knowing how it was going to change him.

The journey changed Will in more than one way. One, he learned to depend on Henry and later on Beanpole for resources. Will also learned about love and he also became un-self-centered. He learned about the Tripods and how to deal with pain. Will was much more confident in himself after he made the journey to the White Mountains. He learned that the journey wasn't all fun and games, it was tough!

White Mountains post 4

I think that this relates to the theme FREEDOM because it shows how the people of the castle were kind of free. The people in the castle, even though they are capped, they didn't tell the authorities when Will, Henry and Beanpole arrived. It also is because Will wants to be free, so he leaves Eloise behind. Will wants to be free, but considers being capped for Eloise but once he hears she is going to serve the Tripods he goes back to wanting to be a free man.

White MOntains

I think that my group is doing well. We all are prepared, most of the time, ad we all contribute. I think that Sandy needs to work on his questions and being responsible and bringing his Lit circles all the time!

I think we all work well together. GOOD JOB GROUP 3!

I think Beanpole will be useful because he is intelligent. Beanpole is smart and that will help Will and Henry make good decisions and keep them out of trouble. Beanpole will be useful because he is able to speak French, to help communicate, and he taught himself how to speak English by reading a book. Beanpole might help them by making inventions to help them move along.
Beanpole is smart, he realized that the Tripods controlled the people and wants to escape the capping, too. If Beanpole didn't show up, in the story, Will and Henry would be trapped in the cell
and would have been put up for capping and they would have become adults, like Jack. Beanpole can talk to villagers in French and get the out of trouble, he can also help them escape with his many ideas.
