Blitzcat is a historical fiction. It's a historical fiction because it is set in world war two which really happened. It is fiction because it is told from the point of view of a cat which couldn't actually happen. Throughout the book the Characters speak about the events just like some one back then would.
Setting
Throughout her journey towards home she traveled along unused dirt roads passing through towns and stopping at friendly smelling houses to get food. She traveled along oily beaches strewn with the trash and bodies left from the war. For a while she stayed at an airport base living with the pilots and in the end she ended up back where she belonged.
External conflict
Internal conflict
An internal conflict hat takes place in the story is when Tommy is flying his plane before he found Lord Gort.
An external conflict takes place when a bomb detonates blasting Lord Gort through the air and making her deaf and temporarily blind.
"Tommy sat alone at the end of a long fragile tube of metal and canvas, down which an icy gale howled, feeling the lonliest man in the world."
"She got up slowly, and seemed to stare around. But she was blind. And she could hear nothing. A human would have screamed and gone mad. Even in a state of shock Lord Gort remained objective."
