Tomorrow When the War Began
In the book “Tomorrow When the War Began” written by John Marsden, an important character who made a change was Homer. You could se him changing throughout the story in the beginning, middle and end. He became more mature, developed feelings for certain people, and also took lead of the group.
‘Tomorrow When the War Began’ is a book about seven teenagers who go on a camping trip in the bush to a place called “Hell”. They go on this trip to get away from their busy lives in Wirrawee. Once they get back, they find their families have been taken, and their country invaded. The book tells the story of their survival.
In the book ‘Tomorrow When the War Began’ an important character who changed was Homer. I think he was important because he changed the most out of the seven teenage characters. Homer is a big, dark Greek 17 year old who lives on the edge of Wirrawee. He goes to school with Ellie and the others. Homer is interesting because he changes a lot himself, but he also has a major affect on the group. At the beginning of the book no one really knows Homer and everyone thinks he is a brat. Ellie says Homer is ‘wild and outrageous’ and also ‘One of the biggest guys in school’. In the end of the book Homer is close with everyone and some individuals in the group say themselves that he has changed.
Homer helped me understand that even naughty and immature teenagers can become responsible young adults. In the beginning of the book Homer got into trouble, was naughty and pulled pranks. This included lighting lines of solvent across the road and playing a game called Greek Roulette. In Greek Roulette, Homer and his mates find an empty classroom and head butt the window until it breaks or the bell rings. An example of his immaturity is when Ellie has dinner at his house. She sees him throw brussell sprouts at his mothers head, and she says ‘I’ve never seen anything like it!’ Then by the end of the book he realizes how fortunate he was
