Literature Circle No.3 (Chapter 6 The Castle of the Red Tower)

1. How were the Tripods able to control the people?
Answer: The Tripods were able to control all the people by capping one by one and the Tripods were very strong because they have many Tripods so the humans can't do anything about it. So, then the Tripods were like the king or rulers or Earth.

2. Find evidence (quotations from the novel) to show that even though Will is comfortable living
at the castle, he is frustrated that the Comte, Comtesse, and Eloise have been capped.
Answer: "more and more I had come to see the capped as lacking what seemed to me the essence of humanity, the vital spark of defiance against the rulers of the world. And I had despised them for it-despised even, for all their kindness to me and their goodness, the Comte and Comtesse." This shows that they are capped by the Tripods.

3. Find evidence (quotes) to show how Will feels about being capped.
Answer: "Will is against being capped and feels that capped persons are slaves to the tripods." Will feels that he is going to be a slave of Tripods. As showed in the book, all the people who have been capped by the Tripods shall be their servants.
