The tripods need to control people because they wouldn't want the people going against them and asking for freedom. The only way people would find out about the previous society and how great the ancients were is if they were like Will, Henry and Beanpole. If the people went traveling when they weren't capped and they were going to the white mountains, they would probably find more than just grenades. If the people find more things they could probably take over the tripods. Like Will, Henry and Beanpole could probably use the grenade an blow up a tripod if they were in danger (Which they did).
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.
Will is certainly comfortable living at the castle, mostly because Eloise is there. I think that he likes Eloise. He is frustrated that the Comte, Comtesse, and Eloise have been capped. Pg 122
"And the better I knew them, the harder it was to make a sweeping condemnation. They were Capped, they accepted the Tripods and all the stood for, but that did not prevent them from being, as I had seen in the Comte, Comtesse, and Eloise and now in others, warmhearted, generous and brave. And happy."

Will is probably frustrated because although they have been capped they are still really nice and that must confuse him very much. It confuses me too.
3. Find evidence (quotes) to show how Will feels about being capped.
In the beginning of the book Will asked Jack about being capped. He says "Why what?" "Why should the Tripods take people away, and Cap them? What right have they?" (pg18). Personally I agree with Will. Since that quote was in the beginning of the book I didn't know very much then. Now I realize why the tripods do it. They do it because they want to control society. I learnt that it is easier to control a society that doesn't have much knowledge than a society that is smart and wants freedom.
