Chapter 1 Analysis: "Fatelessness"

I will answer some questions for you to see my understanding of the first chapter of the book "Fatelessness"

1.  What characters are introduced in this chapter?
The characters introduced on this chapter are George Koves (main character), his parents, his stepmother, his uncles, his teacher, the baker and his wife, Annamarie and Mr Suto.

2. Choose two characters and select a quote to describe them physically or psychologically.
"asking Mr Suto to give my stepmother the benefit of his business experience and expertise over these" Describe Mr Suto abilities in businees (7)
"He did not bother returning my greetings as it is well known in the neighbeirhood" (8) Describing the Baker´s hate among Jewish people

3. What is the narrative technique? Provide evidence

Its a narration in first person like is it prove on the first sentence of the book "I didn´t go to school today" (Point of view)
The narrator is telling the story like if it was a diary for himself, with no constant dialogs between characters (only quotations), a constant narration of the story. (Narration) "Or else so that "he might have me there on his last day before being separated from home" since he said that too..."
The (Speech) is indirect by the characters because it is all quotated by the narrator (same example above)
Past (Tense) "I didn´t head home but to our shop"

4. Describe the setting of this chapter

The story takes place on the city Budapest(Hungry) around 1940 when the WW2 is just starting and Hitler is taking over a lot of countries (III Reich), that´s why the characters are involved in this discrimination issues.
