1. Notice that Tomorrow, When the War Began begins in the present, and looks back into the past. What benefits could there be in choosing to structure a novel this way?
2. “There’s only one way to do this and that’s to tell it in order, chronological order.”
The above quotation is in the voice of the novel’s narrator. Who is the narrator, and why? What is chronological order?
3. “...it’s got to be our way of telling ourselves that we mean something, that we matter.” P2 Why has Ellie been given the task of writing the group’s history?
4. Sketch what you think Tailor’s stitch would have looked like. Surround it with quotes from the text.
5. “And yes, I’ve written that ‘o’ in ‘know’ carefully – I wouldn’t want it to be confused with an ‘e’” What did Ellie mean by this and why is it important?
6. Begin a list of notes on each character – a separate page for each. Make notes on each character on their page as you come across passages that describe them or where they do, or say, something significant.
