I think that the quote from page 111 relates to freedom because:

It says that even though they are capped they look like free spirited people, and they look free spirited people and they could do whatever they wanted to do whenever they wanted to they are capped. It means that they old free and probably exciting spirit was wasted in doing work for the tripods for the rest of their miserable lives. Will is thinking this but rephrases it in a different poetical way. I think that Will would have been great friends with them if they had not been capped. I think that this though is actually kind of important because it reminds Will that even though they are very nice people and the town seems very fun and has a happy atmosphere, They are capped, they are controlled by the tripods and nothing can change that. We cannot say that this is not important because Will could have had this thought about this another time because the story is coming from Wills side of the story and we can only imagine it from what he sees, hears and thinks. This means that the quote relates to freedom because they dont have any freedom of their own and their old freedom was wasted and taken away by the tripods.
