1. What makes Ellie think the soldiers walking past them are professionals? 

They were very frighteningly efficient in what they were doing. The soldier reacted as if someone has pushed a button on their backs. They leaped around, spread out in a wide line and threw themselves to the ground

2. What do the soldiers fire at in the bushes?

 The soldiers were firing at the rabbit.

3. What are some clues that the group is starting to think ‘more like soldiers’? 

They are thinking more like soldiers, like strategic planning. They are also taking orders and each person has a purpose. They are also taking note of little details to help out.

4. Do you think Homer’s plan will work? What problems do you think they might encounter? 

Yes, it will work, but the problems they might face is when the soldiers wouldn't care about the cattle and are more focused on patrolling. The cattle may not listen or follow their orders.

5. What does Homer suggest they do when the group goes up to the Heron? 

Homer wanted to have a look at something on the Heron so he can think of a plan/idea.
They are going to drive the truck under the bridge then Homer is going to shock the cattle so they speed up through the bridge.

6. What are his strategies to put his plan into action?

They are going to muster the cows then herd the cows in the direction they want them to go. The cows are a distraction for the soldiers.
