THE most important character (:

Heya. Firstly, I would like to thank Rachel for her FANTASTIC blogpost. I really learnt from that. I totally agree with her. This is the information that I have gathered:

The narrator - (in the 1st person account) the reader will see everything from his point of view; pereption at that age, or in that situation. As the narrator is not omniescient, he may not know some things (that is not revealed to him in the story), but we do, as the readers who know everybody's thoughts and feelings.

The main character - the story will revolve around this person, and/or the immediate people around him. Therefore he is the central figure. He will be mentioned throughout the whole story.

---

Friedrich - He is mentioned throughout the whole story and the readers can observe his development, from a young, innocent boy who can enjoy simple previleges like playing carefreely in the snow to an older, more mature boy who has to learn survival skills in the cruel environment.

Narrator - He is the one who tells the whole story about his close friend, Friedrich. He lives in the same period as Friedrich and is about the same age, this makes it easier for the readers to contrast him and Friedrich. This is also because the narrator is not a Jew; the readers can contrast the behaviour of the society towards both of them.

Thank you all for reading.
