Blog Post #14


How will Beanpole help Will and Henry on their journey to the white mountains?

I think everyone you meet teaches you a lesson or helps you in some kind of way. Many people have helped me through difficult times and in thanks I have helped them. This time Beanpole will help Will and Henry through their mission as well. This is good for both Beanpole, Will and Henry. If Beanpole continues running along with Will and Henry like he is now, he will make it to the White Mountains and be free from ever becoming a capped zombie. In this blog I will show you a few ways Beanpole had/will help Will and Henry through their mission.

One way Beanpole will help Will and Henry is through his knowledge. He is a very smart kid, and has knowledge about his surroundings. With that knowledge he can help Will, Henry and himself move faster. I would have taken the road south, but he chose west. "Because of the..." What he said sounded like "Shmand-Fair"... Here is one good example of a time Beanpole helped Will and Henry. Will and Henry would've probably taken the harder route if they would have gone south, but because of Beanpole's good knowledge they all probably saved a lot of time on their journey. Also, because of Beanpole's idea of traveling on top of the Shmand-Fair I think they also saved a lot of time, too. Beanpole also probably knows the way to the White Mountains because he was leading the way there. Beanpole knows short cuts that brings them having a much bigger advantage that others. Beanpole is an important part of the story/book. He leads Will and Henry to better route's throughout the journey. Beanpole is now part of the journey to the White Mountains.

Another way I think Beanpole helps Will and Henry on their mission is being himself. By being Beanpole, he is a cover for Will and Henry in a people way. People would suspect Will and Henry more than when Beanpole is around. Beanpole is a cover for Will and Henry in people's minds way as well as the tripods minds way. They trust Beanpole and think he is on their side, they are wrong. Beanpole is on Will and Henry's side. But so far I can still suspect him as a trader, no one knows what lies in the future. He is also a cover for them in a way that he can speak other people's language. He can eavesdrop on the people's conversation and then transform that into something useful. So far he hasn't done that in the story, but again you never know what lie's in the future. That could come in handy some time later in the story.

Those are some reasons I think Beanpole will help Will and Henry.
