"The Destructors"


1) Which character is the most dynamic? Static?
I think that the character that is the most dynamic is Trevor. He came up with new ideas for the gang to use and carrier out. The most static is Blackie he still thinks small and does all the small and insignificant prances.    

2) What elements of Trevor's characterization make him well suited to lead the gang on the August Bank holiday weekend?

For one Trevor had the guts to go to Mr. Thomas and ask to come in and look around. Trevor knows the inside of the house and has the plan all worked out. Trevor now has all the new ideas that the gang can now use. Trevor as a character is darker than the ex leader Blackie. Blackie was a more happy-go-lucky kind of character.  


3) Discuss the ways in which the author manages to cloud morality within the story.

The author makes Mr.Thomes sound like a mean old man by calling him Old Misery and mainly focusing on the house and not the man. Having the narrator tell the story instead of having one of the characters tell it takes away all the thought that the characters have, this way we can’t know if anyone is doubting the plan because of their morals. And the fact that the house never burned.


4) Explain why you think the story is called "The Destructors" rather than "The Destroyers."
Because they did not entirely destroy everything they only partly did their plan.
