Freedom!!

Freedom is very important in peoples lives. Without freedom you cannot make choices or control yourself. I think having no freedom is just like being a slave listening to its masters commands. In chapter 6 (The Castle of the Red Tower) it is very true that Will likes the luxury and all the attention that has been given to him like he likes all the clothes,the people,the room and not but least the great offers that had been offered to him.However upon all this luxury there was one thing which was not in this luxury which was Freedom!!. No matter upon what great luxury there is, there is only one simple question to it and that is" Is there any freedom?" To me Freedom means one who can make choices and thoughts and say and do whatever they want. I think that Freedom is necessary for everyone especially Zhan-pole and Will because Zhan-pole likes to invent things and Will likes to too like for example the watch which man made had fascinated him.

"Was I to abandon my hope of freedom,surrender the mastery of my mind, for the sake of wearing jeweled leather and having other men touch their caps to me?(pg 121)

Before Capping there might be doubts and uncertainties and revulsion' perhaps these people had know them too. When the cap wsa put on the doubts vanished. How great a loss was that? Was it a loss at all?(pg 123)

Watch slipped from his wrist:

I had thought at first that the Cometesse and the others might be curious about I and want to know how a boy had come by such a posession;but they had shown no interest at all in it. They kept no relics of the skill of the ancients,and time meant nothing to them (pg.125)

If Will was capped some of the concerns that would relate to lack of freedom would be that Will would care much less. For example when Elouise became Queen of the Tournaments and needed to go away to serve her master, the tripods she proved that she didn't even care for Will Parker a bit.I think when one is capped the tripods put a satelite or some kind of electronic switch on people so, that tripods can takeover peoples minds and control them not letting people make choices. To me Freedom is such a important thing that upon what great luxury or position you are in it doesn't matter but the freedom sure does.

Will finally decided to leave the castle after Eloise is capped because she didn't care for Will Parker one bit and she was also going away forever to serve the tripods, in the city of tripods. Will also decided to leave the castle because though it had luxury there was no freedom because every single person was capped there. Will also wanted to say when he thought the idea of freedom because he knew that Freedom was more important than the great luxury in the castle.
