Close reading- chapter 12: Ellie

Ellie has been through a lot in the book Tomorrow, When the war began especially in chapter twelve.  In chapter 12 a lot of things happen but the main idea of this chapter is for the reader to understand that Ellie is a normal teenager and that what she has faced/been through is tough. In this chapter Ellie is really experiencing the PTSD of what has happened. She also felt guilt for everything she had done. With all the PTSD Ellie had been facing/experiencing have caused nightmares which in the novel is a clear hint of what she is scared of and been experimenting 

Some quotes from chapter 12:

1. 'emotion denied is emotion deferred'
