In chapters 6-10 of the book, “Cue for Treason” by Geoffrey Trease, Peter was threatened by a young boy named Christopher Kirkstone which is short for Kit who wanted to join the actors to perform in their plays. He had impressed Mr. Desmond with his acting and, in the end, he was accepted. He was an amazing actor and he played the part of the girl well. The next morning, Mrs. Desmond asked if they wanted to write letters back home and the two boys said yes as they were homesick. As they went to drop off the letters, Peter discovers Kit’s letter was addressed to Sir Philip Morton. As the days went by, Kit never wanted to play games or swim with the other boys in the troupe. The group continued to move towards London, but it was getting difficult

Peter died of natural causes per say. But in a different point of view he was murdered because the camp leader made him travel that far. Along with putting him into a point where he died from traveling.

Peter hated anne, she was unbearable in his eyes. However, after he got to know her, he realised how insecure and afraid she is, just as he was. And this was a turning point in the story; when he became fond of her and, in due course, fell in love with her. Also, love was shown in the story because those In the Annexe tried to keep their humanity, there was love and laughter while outside the walls there was hate and war. Furthermore, the theme of hope for the Allies coming to liberate the captive Jews is shown through the excitement of the Jews in the Annexe (and all Jews as well) and in the ending paragraphs, when Peter is lying on his deathbed and the two other men sitting beside him are celebrating the defeat of

Peter changes a lot during the whole story. At the start of the book peter is a reckless boy that is always getting into trouble and never listens to the directions. Peter and his class are doing and plant project where they have to bring in ingredients for the plant to grow. Peter got something things that were rather different from everyone else.“I brought in cat litter (used), soda and a little bit of maple syrup.” (26) He brought this in even though Mr. Terupt told them not to bring in something that would stink up the classroom. Peter did not obey the rules Mr. Terupt had given them. Peter always

In the entire book, Peter is shown as a ruthless character who lacks compassion for all other

In the beginning of the play Peter and Anne were not good friends. During time they started enjoying each others company. They would go to each others rooms and talk for hours, sometimes even till bed. Mrs. Vann Dann didn’t like that they were spending so much time together, she thought they were more than friends. Soon they had feelings for each other in a more than friend way, Mrs. Van Daan learned her suspicions were right. Anne felt like Peter was the only person she could really talk to, and at the beginning he was the last person she’d ever talk to and have a full conversation with.

In the novel Cue For Treason by Geoffrey Trease, Peter could not have been successful without the help of others. Along the way Peter had many acquaintances, but the people who helped him the most were Mr. and Mrs. Desmond, Kathrine Russell (Kit), and Shakespeare.

Throughout the novel, Phillip is played as the antagonist who creates conflict between himself and everyone within the group. Our aversion for him is seen as though he is the

The first reason Peter should have joined the resistance is desperately the Jews needed help. Hitler was purposely killing the Jews because he thought that they were “inferior” to the Germans. The Jews were also being persecuted because of their faith, this is one of the reasons that the Nazis thought they were inferior. Peter also knew that Ellen’s family were Jews and he couldn’t abandon them. Therefore, he should

And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die. Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?' And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb? And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her. And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her”(Genesis 30:1-4). Unlike, Rachel the handmaids in the novel had no choice whether they wanted children or not. Reproduction was forced upon them. Due to the envy she had toward her sister Rachel desired to have children, but she wasn’t able to have them herself. In return, she gave her husband Jacob a maid to procreate with. Now Gilead gives Commanders and their Wives a handmaid, which is adultery. A man should only have intercourse, but bare children with only his wife.

Medium - How does Peter change throughout the novel? What was the main cause for this change?

The people who we choose to have in our lives make a great impact on how our story is going to progress. If books were written with only one character, nothing would ever happen, the same would happen in real life, if you were the last human on earth. Sure the weather could produce a storm, or we could learn to find things occupy our time, but we would never have any real adventure if we were by ourselves. Not only is it important that we have people in our lives but we need to have people who juxtapose ourselves. Imagine living in a world made up entirely of “yous”. Still no adventure would occur, no surprises and no excitement that makes life worth living. In “The Magicians Nephew” the presence of Polly makes a grand impact on Digory’s story.

As a result, Peter feels that the death of his father figure (a past event) could have been undone if he listened to him (alternative scenario) which causes him to feel more regret about the incident. Also, the fact that the alternative scenario was easily conjured up

It did not take long for William and Peter to begin to chatter. They talked about everything, from why they were going to Philadelphia to their favorite food back at home. William discussed buttery cornbread at great length, while Peter mourned the lack of fresh shellfish.

Philip has a lot to blame for the outcome in the novel. He was a distraction during the Star-Spangled Banner. In the beginning of class he didn't like Miss Narwin and wanted out of her classes. Philip would constantly hum during the National Anthem, he doesn't stop when Miss Narwin told him to stop. Miss Narwin said, “Is that you Philip?” Philip told her that he was just humming, Miss narwin then asked, “Please stop it,” (Wortis 43) . Philip also lied to his parents about not trying out for track. Philip would not share with his parents about his bad grade in
