THE BOMB BY THEODORE TAYLOR

Tyler Harrington




In the beginning the people who lived in the lagoon island  are native people and don't know a lot of things.But they no what planes are.So they saw planes heading towards them and they panicked but they saw that they were American planes and all the islanders got excited to see them.The islanders waved at the pilots and the pilots waved back and one of them through up a peace sign.But then to find out that they are like prisoners because japan soldiers are stationed there and they are very harsh to the people on the island.The main charcter sorry wants to kill the soliders on the island and theres been talk of them doing it but then they dont do it.They don't becuase the soldiers have to send a message or like a beacon to there navel ship on three days or the japanese planes will go check out whats happening.  



In this story i admire them because they are strong people trying to be free and live a life with out being under control.But for them right now to be able to be free they have to kill the soldiers on the island.I especially admire sorry because he has lost his mom and his father but he still holds on and has friends to keep him going.Although he does want to kill the soldiers.


For the islanders their actions are  under reason because they want to kill the soldiers on the island and be free again.So its okay if they have to kill bad people who have killed and hurt people in there village.Their actions will be the reason they live or die and its there choice that they are willing to take.
