Homer

Homer is a character in the book "Tomorrow, When the War Began" who starts off as a bully or a kid that couldn't be trusted. But, later on in the book he takes on a leadership role in a difficult situation. Homer was a completely changed man once the war started and I think that he changed because school and being a children isn't very serious but when the war started he thought it was very serious and decided that life wasn't just a big game and a joke. I think that the author wrote it like that because I think that maybe the author was kind of a bully when he was young, but now he knows that it wasn't right and he changed his life because of that and he is now very kind and nice. The author's name is John Marsden and he is a great author but I don't really like his style.

Homer is an outrageous kind of guy that would always try to crash a party. He was in Grade 8 at his school and always got detention for doing things that a normal bully would do. He lives down the road from Ellie, and they were friends and used to go to each others houses. Homer was from a family that didn't care about his future and his family wasn't a very nice family. It was a hard life that Homer lived in and I think that is why Homer isn't a very nice kid and a bully.
