quotes = Corrie’s kindness…

“Corrie had this idea that she’d have a look at everything, come home, do nursing, then go back and work in the country that needed nurses most. I admired her for that. I was more interested in making money.” (Tomorrow, When the War Began, Chapter 5) Corrie and Ellie…

“Corrie and I were probably the most ener­getic. We took a few walks, back to the bridge, or to different cliffs, so we could have long private conversa­tions. We talked about boys and friends and school and parents, all the usual stuff. We decided that when we left school we’d earn some money for six months and then go overseas together. We got really excited about it.” (Tomorrow, When the War Began, Chapter 5) = =

** Favourite Food ** **-** Sushi, rich people food....

 * Favourite Clothes ** **-** Latest fashion trends

=
In the beginning of the book Fiona is totally out of her depth. She is pampered, and has no real knowledge of camping or survival. She has never done any hard work in her whole life and so has quite a gentle personality. She is also one of the most changed people in the book, she is frightened and brave at the same time. She is a follower rather than a leader and she also is kind and caring, especially to Ellie, who she has helped on more than one occasion. She is the type of character that most people would expect to get lost in the bush, although this is proved wrong throughout the book as she fights against the invaders. She is an elegant and graceful person and gets into a relationship with Homer. =====
