Power of Freedom

"The bitter thing was all the spirit, all the gallantry, was wasted. For even more than inferiors, they accepted and looked forward to being Capped. It was a part of becoming a knight, or of turning from a girl to lady. Thinking of this, I saw how good things could be meaningless in isolation. What value did courage have, without a free and challenging mind to direct it?" (p. 111)

I think freedom is the most important thing in our lives. This quote above shows how important freedom is, and what effect freedom has. Without freedom, we wil all be like robots with someone controling our minds, slaves, or prisoner. I think this whole book relates to freedom, because this book shows that without freedom, all the electronics, modern transportation, inventions, and valuable things have gone waste. Also, Will travels a long way to gain freedom. The chapter 'Castle of the Red Tower' also shows how important freedom is. Every people in France wanted to be capped, and the book shows how pleased Eloise was, when she was sent to serve the tripods forever. Also it clearly shows that Will, Henry and Beanpole valued freedom more than their lives, and courage was the key to the whit mountains. Without courage, they couldn't have even thought about setting a journey to the white mountains. But people in France, just followed everything what the tripods and the ones who were capped said and did like a robot, wasting their courage they were given as they were born, and ruining their entire life. Will, the main character, decides to leave the castle, and fight for freedom when he hears that Eloise has to serve the Tripods fr ever. Like this, without freedom, people can't love each other. The chapter 'Castle of the Red Tower' and what I wrote above describes how important 'FREEDOM' is.
