Summary Of Gordon Williams Tunnels

Intro:
The title of my book is Tunnels, and it is by Gordon Williams. What happens in Tunnels is, his dad goes missing and so his son will, he goes to find him but discovers something extraordinary. My character is Will. I picked Will because he's the main character and once you think you know his life and all of its basics, it all changes from the tunnel.

Body:
Will has many character traits the least important trait that Will has is active I chose this trait for Will because he is not like any ordinary kid who sits around watches TV, or plays video games, instead he digs tunnels to find historical stuff. You can see this trait of will from “The next day after school Will and Chester resumed their work at the excavation”. This quote shows
that Will and his friend Chester work on the dig site as much as they possibly can, which is an example of being active. Another trait of active that Will has is “Will and Chester were finally making progress, they were digging out the soil below”. This quote shows that Will and his friend will not give up even if they just started to make progress after a few days of working at it. From the topic sentence, you can see “Will was returning from dumping the soils, his wheelbarrow stacked high with empty buckets trudges to the end of the tunnels, where Chester was hacking away at the stone layer”. This quote explains that when someone is digging the other person is shoveling up the soil and hauling them out of there, so they have room to Move around in the tunnel which explains that Will and Chester are active. So as, you can see these quotes help prove that Will is active. Now a character with just one trait would be boring but will does not have just one he has many and here is the second one that I chose for him which is skillful.
Body 2:
The second character trait that will has is skillful.
I choose skillful for will because he knows what type of rock they are digging how to dig it and if they will need any props to keep the roof from collapsing in on them. You can see this from the text “You know this infill is a lot like the last one we had, it's just not usual limestone there wasn't even limestone in the tunnel we just dug, by all means, I think this is no accident someone is trying to keep us from discovering something” This shows that will knows what type of rock he's dealing with and how to tell what type of rock it is. Another quote to go with skillful for will is “ How do you feel like digging under the sandstone?” this quote explains that will knows that it will be less time-consuming if they dig under the limestone instead of trying to dig through it. The last quote for skillful is “We won't need to use any props if we dig under the sandstone it will be strong enough to support itself” this explains that will knows that by digging under the sandstone they won't need any props to hold it up with because it will be strong enough to hold itself up. So as you can see will has more than one trait such as skillful and active although you may see these two often the most important character trait for will is
determined.
Body 3:
The most important trait for will is determined I choose determined for will because when they find his father's secret and its caved it will knows this cave-in was no accident, and he knows there's a chance his father is down there, and he won't stop until he finds him another quote to help support his trait determined is “the cave in was horrendous we are going to have to dig under it” this quote proves that no matter what obstacles get in the way of Will even having the smallest chance to find his dad he will stop at nothing to do so. The final and best quote for Will to prove that he is determined is “We should turn back. Chester said. No, we need to find my dad no matter what the cost it. Will replied”. This quote proves that will is determined to find his dad and nothing will get in the way to stop him.
