Will and I

The book that I am reading for lit circles right now is called The Tripods. It is about a village that when you start turning into a teenager, these terrifying gigantic things called Tripods inplant a cap on your head that basically brain washes you into thinking that the Tripods are the boss. But when it is nearly time for a boy called Will to get capped, he runs away to be a free man. Hear are some answers to the question, how is Will just like you?

One big thing that is the same with me and Will is that we are not afraid to say or do something when you think something is not right. For example, say I have to do a blog and in that blog I have to answer two questions but the other class only has to answer one because they had to have a substitute. I would tell the teacher or someone and also, I would not stop until I either had a good reason why we have to do more than the other class or if they had to do the same thing as us. That is what Will is doing in the Tripods because he does not think that capping is right and he would rather die than get capped, so he runs away to the white mountains to be free. That is one similarity between me and the character Will in the Tripods.

Another thing that is similar between Will and I is that we are both brave. Like when I was on the trampoline one time and I was about to do a backflip I was really scared because I kept on thinking, what happens if I land on my neck? Or what if I don't jump high enough? But in the end I did it and now I can do it with out a care in the world? And that is exactly the same for Will. He is doing a very dangerous and brave thing, running away like this but he is doing it for his own good. And I think that is the bravest thing in the whole world. That is another similarity between me and Will.

One last thing that is symilar between me and will is that we are both adveturous. On page 52 Will say "Altogether, a miserable and humiliating end to the adventure." Which I think show a lot of things. One thing that it shows is that Will knows that he is on an adventure with Henry and that it will be hard. Another thing that this shows that Will is actually quite scared about this adventure of his but he still wants to do it no matter what. I love going on adventures like going on long walks with my dad. And I also really do not like being stuck inside the house or in the same place for a long time and I think Will sometimes feels that way too. That is one last similarity between me and Will.
