White Mountains blog post 4

In this novel is about three boys who don't want to be capped, and the one place they can't get capped is the White Mountains, their journey there is mostly what this novel is all about. The one of the only things that they all want is to have their own brain to themselves and the other one to make it to the White Mountains. If they didn’t find Beanpole then they wouldn’t make it to the White Mountain as easily as they did. Because Beanpole can speak the langue of the country they are in and english. So if people ask them questions on their journey Beanpole would be the one to respond to it, and it would not be as suspicous if they could not respond back in the same langue.


In the red tower Will had a nice room, nice food and Eloise in the castle.But if he wanted to stay in the castle he would have to be capped and he would rather die than be capped. And I know that for a fact because in the book in quotes it said that Will would rather die than be capped. This quote was the key to the whole book because it means that the White Mountains is the perfect place for him. When Will was at the castle saw a tripod right outside his room. This mean that if he saw a Tripod he would have to act natural around the Tripods, But if he does do that and he is with Eloise she would also figure out something was wrong with Will, that he was scared of something. But it is either that or be capped so I think soon Eloise will find out the real Will. I just hope he does not stay in the castle or else he would have been a giant waste to come all this way, and to pretty much get capped in a different country. So I am hoping they make it to the White Mountains.

1.The cap's had a chip in it that only allowed the tripods control their thought and how they think. So people can't think on there own


2.(The bitter thing was that all the spirit, all the gallantry, was wasted. for even more than their inferiors, they accepted and looked forward to being capped. it was a part of becoming a knight, or of turning from girl to lady.) Page. 111.

All this was rendered futile by the sight of her bare head. I had come to think of her as my friends: perhaps more. But now I knew that she belonged, irretrievably, body and soul, to the Enemy. Page. 116.



3.It last five days, and at the end is their Capping Day." " And if we are still here then . . .," Henry said. " We are offered for Capping. True But we will not be here. You will be strong by then, Will. And during the time of the tournament there is always much confusion. We can get away, and not be missed for day, perhaps two or three. Page .109

How will Beanpole help Will and Henry

Well I think one way Beanpole could possibly help Will and Henry. He does speak the langue of the place they are at some it would be a lot easier to pass through the lands. Because if someone stopped and asked you something you would not be able to answer but since they have beanpole he can speak the langue so he can respond to the question.

One other reason I think it would be really help full because beanpole also knows where he is a lot better than Will and Henry. And if they get lost Beanpole will be able to read the signs and know were that is because he knows the langue and the place were they are.

How Is Will Like Me???

How is Will like me? When I first read this question I could not think of an answer but soon enough, I got a few. Here they are. Oh wait a minute, you don't know what I'm talking about. Well let me tell you. Will is the main character in the book White Mountains, so Will - Reader, Reader - Will. Now that we all know what I am talking about, lets continue. How is will like me.

I think will is like me because we are both boys, that is one of my examples. But also Will and I are both very curious about things. In chapter one, when Will takes out the watch because he's curious - like when I read this book. I was curious about a lot of things.White Mountains makes you think about alot of things, maybe too many at once.I think Will is also like me because he and I both talk to strange and weird people. Like Will does with Ozymandias which is a weird person in White Mountains.

Will is also like me because I to have a desire to want to know questions all the time. Like when Will is asking questions about the capping ceromony, so was I when I was reading it. And one other way Will is like me is we think very similarly. For example, when I was reading I was woundering the same questions about Ozymandias when Will first met him. The last way that Will and I are the same is that for sure I don't want to be capped. I would rather die then be capped. Oh for people that have not read the book White Mountains, when you get capped it is when the Tripods take you when you are fourteen and they put this metal cap on your head and it makes you not think for yourself. So pretty much, the Tripods control you from there on so Capping Day is like your last day of freedom ever... unless you escape to the White Mountains. But I can't tell you that part yet.

Thanks for reading this blogpost. I hope you enjoyed it.
