Goodnight Mr Tom Obituary and How it was hard to write characteristics of Will


Goodnight Mr Tom

In this book, many characters die. Five People die in the book making it a really sad story.
(George’s brother, Mrs Hartrige’s husband, Zach, The mother of Will,  Will’s sister)
Will’s names: Wille, William, Will

Obituary of Zach

ZACH DIES
This morning, the Littles reported that their ex evacuee, Zach, got killed going home to see his father after he was injured by a bomb. The news hurt Zach’s friends (William, Carrie, Ginny, George) and please do not remind William about this. He is going through a hard time due to his loss and has to have some time alone. Please also do not mention to the Littles about this news.
The village times, Little Weirw­­­­old

 How it was hard to write the characteristics of Will (In the opinion of the author, Michelle Magorian)

I thought it was really hard to write the main character Will. He dramatically changed throughout the story. I think he was really hard to write because he kept on changing, getting happier, and doing unexpected things. I also found it hard to do Tom because he also had one thing in common. They both had losses that would be hard to accept, but they both accepted it in the end as before they pretended their loss didn't ever exist. Will keeps on changing, even his name! He was originally called Willie Beech. When his happiness shatters it was hard imagining what he would be after since he thought he killed his younger sister. Sad or really sad. But then he got happier again, until Zach dies and they both have to accept their losses.

Asterix and the Great Divide - How the villian's punishment was justified

Asterix and the Great Divide

How was the villain's punishment was justified

In the book, there is a village, but there is a ditch between two sides. There is the party of the left, and the party of the right. The party of the right's leader asks his henchman what to do to conquer both sides of the village. His henchman finds a way to do it but asks for the party of the right's leader's daughter to marry him.The leader accepts and his henchman goes to the roman camp and makes a deal with the Romans to get the other side of the village if they get slaves. The daughter hears what he is doing and tells the son of the other party. He tells his father and then he goes to Asterix's village and asks Chief Vitalstatistix to help keep the Romans out of the affair. The Romans go to the village and the leader of the right welcomes them and then the Centurion asks where the slaves are. The chief says Gauls will not be slaves and the Romans just take them as slaves. Asterix, Obelix, and Getafix don't attack because they could harm the villagers and wait and go to the roman camp as cook slaves. Getafix makes some magic potion and gives it to the Centurion. The Centurion asks if it is poison and all the slaves test it. Getafix tells the chief it is magic potion and they attack the Romans. They go back to the village and Getafix makes some magic potion. Later, the henchman comes back and gives all the Romans healing and forgetting potion. The Romans go attack the village (because the henchman tricked him into thinking they broke the pax romana) and then they wait around the village. The henchman tricks the guard and runs in and steals the magic potion. The Romans drink it only to find the side effects of drinking healing and forgetting potion and magic potion. They become really fat and start hovering. The Gauls start kicking them around, then the Romans turn really small, and run away. The party of the right's chief finds out that the henchman kidnapped his daughter and the henchman demanded a ransom. The henchman and the chief's daughter are rowing down the river when they got caught by pirates. The henchman offer's twenty-five gold pieces. Asterix, Obelix, and the son of the party of the left's son sees the boat and board. The son attacks the henchman and he hits him into the Roman camp and they save the party of the right's chief's daughter.

The punishment for the henchman was justified because now the henchman is a slave and has to serve the Romans.

The party of the left's chief and the right's have a battle and no one wins. Then the party of the left's ex-chief's son and the party of the right's ex-chief's daughter become the leader of the whole village.
