The White Mountains 3rd blogpost

The tripods control people by putting these metal caps on their head. The tripods only control their actions, therefore, they cannot control their emotions, feeling, etc. But still, when some people are capped, they can still be kind like Eloise in the story. The evidence from the novel is "But not Eloise. I had thought her free, like myself. I might even have come to the idea-its beginnings,I think, were in my mind already- that when we set off once more for the White Mountains, there might not be three of us, but four. All this was rendered futile by the sight of her bare head. I had come to think of her as my friend:perhaps more. But now I knew that she belonged, irretrievably,body and soul, to the Enemy" this was the evidence. Well, Will doesn't feel comfortable about being capped, and thats why he is going to the White Mountains. So, the evidence to show how Will feels on being capped is : "I was sorry at the thought of leaving her,and my father,and of their unhappiness when they found me gone. The Caps offered no remedy for human grief. but I could not stay, any more than a sheep could walk through a slaughterhouse door, once it knew what lay beyond. And I knew that I would rather die than wear a cap."

Zhan-pole (bean pole)

Okay, so now I am doing my second blog post on the White Mountains.

Beanpole is the smartest out of the group, Beanpole is a really helpful to the group as he is intelligent. Without Beanpole, I think Will and Henry would really struggle to get to the White Mountains as Beanpole knows the language and the way around the place. Will and Henry really need Beanpole, or else they would be hopeless.

Beanpole also knows the way of the tripods cap, so he can help Will and Henry with plans and stuff. Also if Will and Henry get captured, Beanpole will be able to help them as he speaks French too. Beanpole is a very helpful person to Will and Henry, they are lucky they met Beanpole, or else their journey would be all over. If Henry and Will get capped, the book ends from there.

How is Will like me?

Now that I've read the chapters 1-2 in the White Mountains, I will tell you how Will is like me. Will is like be because Will is shy, which is sometimes like me. I can at times be shy if I am not comfortable with the area I am in. Over time, I will be more comfortable with the area and speak up.

The other thing that I have in common with Will is that Will and I are both adventurous. I really like to explore and discover more on what is around me or places I go to. Will is like me as Will is really willing to explore the White Mountains. But I think that the purpose for Will to explore the White Mountains is because he doesn't want to be capped. I also think he went to the White Mountains is also because he wants to prevent other villagers to get capped.
