Goodnight Mister Tom Essay
Evacuating children to the country was seen as a kind and preventive action to prevent them being killed or injured in the blitz. However, for both(prenominal) children, the move could be negative and frightening whilst for those such as bequeathiam beechwood it would found a beneficial event.When the evacuees first arrive in tiny Weirwold it is a massive change for many They all(prenominal) looked bewildered and fagged. For many children the countryside was quite foreign to them. tomcat exclaims to exitie Ent you never seen a intimidate? There are many differences among the city and the country and all need to be adjusted to. The noise level and number of population around are two things that cause Tom to feel alone dazed on arrival in capital of the United Kingdom.All families are comical but although this can be a positive, for some it may prove negative. Despite missing his produces, Zach had a fairly happy time with Dr and Mrs Little. Robert and Christine poof w ere, sadly, made to work too hard to the detriment of their checking. Robert and Christines niggle and took them back to capital of the United Kingdom. she felt they were being used as unpaid cranch. For Willie it was an extremely positive experience. Tom treats him as a caring parent and by the end of the novel without even thinking Will says Im sorry, soda pop and Tom is thrilled too He called me Dad overwhelmed with happinessFor a child such as Willie, the contrast between home and Little Weirwold, the contrast between his mother and Mr Tom could not have been more extreme. His mother beat him only soft beatings and cut him as being wicked enough to be sent to an ome fer bad boys. Willie arrives at Little Weirwold his body is covered with the evidence of his mothers abuse. a large multicoloured bruise on his shin and a self-conceited red sore beside Willies arms and legs were covered in bruises, weals and sores. Tom, on the other hand, doesnt know nothin about child ren but does know enuff not to beat em and make em that scared.Little Weirwold is as well as the tramp that nurtures Will in other ways. It is where he makes his first friends Zach, Carrie and Ginnie and George. This contrasts sharply with London as there he had no friends as such. Bullied and ragged a lot by the kids. Wills experience of school and teachers is also vastly different. In London the teacher didnt like Will and allowed the others to call him Sillie Sissie Willie. Tom patiently teaches Will his letters and at school he is also taught and nurtured by Mrs Black and Mrs Hartridge. The play is an opportunity for Will and once Miss Thorne sees his aptitude, she encourages and nurtures it, asking him to take the role of Scrooge.Overall, the evacuation of London children to the country in the second world war was neither fierce nor kind for each child it was different. In Zachs case he was safe in the country but was killed in a bombardment when he went back to London. F or Willie it was a positive experience in so many ways as he transforms from Sillie Sissie Willie to Will. Without the evacuation and Toms affection for him this transformation is unimaginable.
