Introduction Darcy Conway

Blurb: Sixteen-year-old Tegan was loving life: She was joining her friends to protest the wrongs of the world, she was playing guitar, and she thought she might be falling in love for the first time. She didn’t plan on her best day being her last.

When Tegan wakes, a hundred years in the future, locked in a government facility, she has no idea what happened. The first person cryonically frozen and successfully revived, she is an instant celebrity – but all she wants is to rebuild some semblance of a normal life in this strange new world.

When appalling secrets come to light, Tegan must make a choice: should she keep her head down and survive, or fight for a better future?

Global Warming 101 | National Geographic

# data[].attributes.body
Global Warming put simply is the warming of the Earth.
Temperatures have been rising over the past 50 yrs at a increased rate

It is caused by Greenhouse Gases and pollutants, such as carbon dioxide(Co2) which traps the heat that would otherwise reflect into space. This is known as the Greenhouse Effect.
These pollutants stay in the atmosphere for thousands of years. The largest source of Co2 pollution in the USA is the burning of coal for electricity. It produces 2 billion tons per year.

# data[].attributes.body
We should care because the increased temperatures mean that natural disasters are going to worsen dramatically all over the world, such as storms, floods, droughts and heat waves.
Increased temperatures for a long time mean that the amount of sicknesses also increase. As the temperature rises, wildlife can die if they cannot adapt quickly enough to the higher temperatures. The seas are also going to rise as the artic and polar ice sheets melt. This means that low-lying areas can be swallowed up by the rising seas. By 2100 the oceans are expected to rise by between 0.5 m to
1.2 m.

Marie tells Tegan an emotional story about why she was so supportive of the revival procedure and why she wanted Tegan to live with her.
Tegan searches for “Ark Project” on Bethari’s computer because she thinks that her computer is being monitored. The computer breaks into the governments database and Tegan only has time to get an address before the computer gets traced. To stop being traced, Tegan breaks a hole in the computer and pours water in it. Hearing all the racket Marie comes in. She leaves again and returns with a guitar for Tegan.
The next day at school she is asked to sing in front of her music class with her guitar. It is a failure. Until Abdi decides to join in and sing with her. Then they are a huge success.

After class Abdi and Tegan talk and Tegan finds out that he likes the Beatles.
They both agree to be private friends because if they are seen together people will start rumours and it will attract unwanted attention.
Tegan goes up to the roof with Bethari and they decide to pretend to have a sleepover at Bethari’s as a cover for them to break out and go to the address that Tegan found earlier.
Marie was happy with the idea of a sleepover whereas Colonel Dawson was less pleased and rejected the idea. But Marie tells him that Tegan is going on a sleepover and that it was final. When she gets to Bethari’s house Tegan finds Joph there who will cover for them as they go outside. They arrive at the warehouse and Bethari hacks into the surveillance, to find the warehouse empty.

Bethari and Tegan hacked into the surveillance with Bethari’s genius work of her magic fingers. When suddenly they saw a truck pull in and out got Colonel Dawson, The Head of Operation New beginning and he was not in full uniform. They were unloading stuff out of the truck and putting it into the warehouse. Tegan and Bethari didn’t know what was contained in the two large containers they were moving but all they knew was to get home before they were caught and they also had to think of how they could break in without being caught. They both broke back into Bethari’s house the same way the broke out and laid in bed. Bethari was so curious about Tegan’s interest in people. She asked Tegan if she was sure she was straight. This conversation turned to a conversation about Abdi. Bethari thought that Abdi liked Tegan as much as Tegan liked him but they weren’t so sure. The next morning Colonel Dawson picked Tegan up from Bethari’s house and took her back to Marie. On there was Colonel Dawson told Tegan that she had an interview that was set up and she was going to talk about her story to the world. Tegan didn’t agree to this but she had to do it because if she didn’t the person interviewing her, Carl Hurfest would make a very interesting story about her not turning up to the interview that would go on for days but if she went her story would be told and everyone would know about it.

Five more days until the interview, five more days of torment. Tegan had to memorise a script of all her answers to the questions she was going o be asked. She didn’t write the answers herself it was written by a professional called Tatia. Tatia wanted Tegan to be prepared for the fort he interviews. She wanted Tegan to look her best. Tegan had tried her best to remember the script and work on her studies as well. She didn’t have time to sneak to the warehouse with Bethari because her schedule was full. Every day after school she would have an hour lesson of Martial Arts and after that she had to meet up with Tatia to go over her script. Meanwhile at school, Soren the coolest boy in school was tormenting poor Abdi. Abdi had gotten so angry that he wanted to punch Soren but Zaneisha was too fast and grabbed a hold of Abdi’s hand. Abdi then bolted out of the room followed by Tegan. Tegan tried her best to comfort him but after a while she had to go. The next day, was the interview. Tegan was getting her makeup done by Tatia. Once the makeup was done she put her dress on and this made her look more like Snow White than herself. Tegan was shocked about this she was confused as to why she was dressed up as Snow White. Tegan felt as if they were treating her as a pet. It was time for the interview, Tegan walked out everyone looking stunned. “Let the interview begin,” Tegan thought.

Hurfest started with the easiest questions during the interview like How are you feeling? And others but then the harder questions came. Tegan couldn’t deal with it any longer and she burst out. She wasn’t following the script, she got way out of hand. Marie tried to calm her down when she pulled Tegan out of the interview but Dawson made it worse. He was calling her a “Stupid little girl.” This made Tegan angrier. Dawson threatened to send her back to the lab where she can stop going to school and only be used for laboratory purposes. Tegan didn’t want this so Marie helped her escape. Marie hit Dawson over the head and got into her car with Tegan and drove off. Marie wanted Tegan to be safe. She told Tegan to go far away as possible whilst she led the tracked car to a different destination to avoid Tegan from getting caught. Tegan decided the only place to hide was at Joph’s house. Tegan travelled on bike to Joph’s place it was a long way away but she made it. But whilst she was there Abdi showed up and he wasn’t impressed.

Abdi didn’t want to help Tegan go into hiding because he didn’t want to get shot by Gregor just like The Inheritor did. But Joph was too convincing. She convinced Abdi into helping Tegan. Tegan had a plan. They were to break into the warehouse and see what was inside. Once they were in the warehouse they saw bodies kept in a glass type place with wires stuck into their bodies. They were possibly like Tegan. Kept in the glass compartments ready to be brought back to life. But that wasn’t happening, they were there for longer than Tegan. Suddenly guard came into view and Tegan, Joph, Abdi and Bihari tried to escape but Joph and Bihari were captured and Tegan and Abdi escaped. Zaneisha caught up to the two and caught Abdi and Tegan went into hiding in the alley. Zaneisha tried luring Tegan to her by using Abdi but that didn’t work. Tegan shot her with her sonic pistol and Zaneisha fell to the ground and Abdi and Tegan ran away as fast as they could.

Waking up to the problems of Society

1. What is theme?

A theme is a message that the author is trying to convey to the reader. It is throughout the whole novel and it impacts the characters, setting and plot

2. What theme are you exploring?

I am exploring the theme of when are we going to wake up to the problems of society.

3.Why is it an important theme in the novel?

It is important literally and figuratively. The literal way is when Tegan wakes up to the future and sees how it has become. The other way it is important is the idea that people don’t care about what is happening and why. They only care when it affects them, and by that time it is to late

4. How does a character react to this theme?

Tegan is devastated of what has happened to the world and she clearly displays her views in the interview with Carl Hurfest in the novel, saying “this is not the world I wanted”, trying to tell people that the world that they live in isn’t good.

5. How does a theme cause a character to change in the novel?

This Theme Causes Tegan To Change from her Happy self in her old life to an activist in the future. When no one wakes up to the problems of the world, she goes rage in the interview and runs away to compromise the “ark project”

6. What insight is the Audience Supposed to take away in response to this theme?

The Audience (us) is supposed to take away what is happening to the world. The book is trying to tell us to do something about our problems (global warming) now while we still can and before they become unsolvable like they are in “when we wake”.

Themes – Change:                                                                                      Darcy Conway

What is a theme? A theme is like an idea or a message that is conveyed across the book and is important because it impacts on the characters and the plot and also because it usually has a lesson that comes with it.

I will be telling you about the theme of change. Change is important because without it a novel would not work and it would be boring. Change progresses the story as well as influencing characters to do things. For example, when Tegan wakes up in 2127 and has to readjust to the new world she’s living in, it forces her to do things that on most other occasions she wouldn’t do.

Characters deal with change differently. Some want to create it, some want to hide from it and some want to just go with it. The change Tegan feels, she just has to put up with it. She cries a little bit but gets over it shortly whereas for the media Tegan is the change and the media are swarming t get a look at her. Dawson on the other hand wants to try to save humanity because of the atmospheric change and global warming, he tries to be the saviour. Bethari, Abdi and Joph are all brave and want to fight for the change they want and against the change they don’t want.

The theme of change has one of the biggest effects on the novel, it is huge because of how big some of the changes are. It changes the time period to one-hundred years in the future, it makes Dawson want to launch people into space because of changes in the atmosphere.

Tegan has to learn to use technologies and has to get used to the temperature and the pain of losing all her loved ones but the main thing she learns is how quickly things can change and how you need to act immediately.

What your supposed to learn from this theme is that things can seem to change quickly, and you only have a short time to act so act while you can and whenever you see a problem.

# data[].attributes.body
What is a theme?

A theme is the message/moral and main ideas of the story.

Which theme are you exploring?

The theme I am exploring is ‘’Courage.’’ Courage is the mental or moral strength to set forth to withstand danger, fear or difficulty. This is an important theme because a lot of characters in When We Wake are full of courage especially Tegan. Tegan is a strong, independent girl who is courageous and is willing to be of help. She is the voice of all the people who have been or is a part of “The Operation New Beginning.’’

Why is this an important theme?

This is an important theme in the novel because not many of the characters are confident enough to have the courage they need in certain situations in the novel, or at least they don’t seem to. Tegan takes on this trait as a professional. It takes a lot of effort for someone to have courage in life but Tegan is just born with courage. She has a courageous heart. Tegan shows courage when she stood up for herself and Taalib when captured and shipped to Tasmania to meet “The Father.”

How does this theme cause a character to change in the novel?

Seeing that Tegan has come a long way into the future, she has been more aware of her surroundings. Tegan doesn’t try to blend into the crowd but rather stand out with her own uniqueness. She doesn’t care mostly about what anyone thinks but of what she thinks. I think she stands out more when her courageous side kicks in and she shows this when she wants to get to the point.

What does a character learn in relation to the theme?

The character learns to take her own actions in things and tries to save or rather help others by doing what she thinks is right. As I said Tegan is independent and sometimes with a little help from her friends she gets the job done. Tegan has learnt to be full of courage in many situations and to show that courage no matter what.

What insight is the audience supposed to take away in response to this theme?

The book is trying to help us to take on courage and use it in situations and to use it for the good and better of us as the audience and fellow people. Everyone should have courage and if we do we must show it at the right times.
