The author wrote this piece to: (author's purpose)
To inform us about the psychollogical aspects of Georg (main character) when his father left to the labor camps.

The main idea of this piece is:
To go deep into the "feelings" of Georg, showing us that he can't have feelings or refuses to say he's is love to someone. This shows he's still inmature and childish in some aspects.

Characters: (mayor)
Protagonist(s): Georg Koves

Antagonist(s): The "iconic" antagonist" of the whole story is the nazzi regime, like a evil entity that causes fear.

Static Character(s): Mr Suttó, because he doesn't developes new features or psychollogical aspects toward the novel.

Dynamic Character(s): Annemarie, that changes her feelings at the end.

Did the author use any literary devices in this selection such as: personification, metaphor, simile, foreshadowing, suspense, flashback, imagery, irony, humor, poetic sound devices such as rhyme, etc... List and give examples:
A very good literary device I could identify in this chapter was the story of the "Prince and the Beggar", that looked very similar and they changed places and nobosy could notice it. This is told by Georg when he is descussing about what is to be a jewish and all the problems it carries.

What was the author's tone toward the subject/person/idea he/she wrote about?
Well the author makes us feel like we are listening to a real teenager, and he developes the whole story with words and attitudes proper to a youngster with all the "sillyness" and life problems.

What point of view was this pice tolf from? List word clues that indicate this.
Well, this piece and the whole book is in first person, actually the whole book can be considered as a quote to be an example of this, as the narartor doesn't change (Georg).

List the conflicts in this selection (internal and/or external)
I would consider two internal conflicts that are taking place in Georg's head. The first one is the fight of not accepting he had fall in love. And the second one is the conflict of being a jew, that I consider it internal because it is an existencial conflict, about who you are.
