e.g. That kind of stuff, it doesnt happen here, not in this country. Add a picture of the
character Ellie and a brief line answering the question. Something like this:


For example:
A quote from the character Ellie in Tomorrow when the war began represents the
peaceful qualities of Australian culture. In a series of scenes with the characters finding
their houses abandoned, the teenage characters begin to act cautiously. The character
Ellie says she knows why they are acting this way, but doesnt believe their assumptions
of war in Australia possible, when she says That kind of stuff, it doesnt happen here, not
in this country. In this quote she is showing that she has a strong belief in peace,
mateship, and safety as aspects of Australian culture.
