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.

 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.
