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.

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.
