SUPPORTING CHARACTERS: A SUPPORTING character in my book is Strilka who offered Aleksey a job and is promising good food and money. Strilka seems like a good person; however, we don't know if he actually is since it's taking place at a time of war. I think it will be interesting to see how his character develops and how this will affect Tolya, the main character in a few years in the future.

STORY ARCHETYPES: I think the archetype of this book is voyage. One of the main characters gets offered a job from Strilka to get the main character to fight the Germans and protect their land. I can see this on page 89 it says "...I mean I'm offering you a job" I know this was about the war because it says on page 89 "'You'll take your oath to Hitler and the Third Reich. You'll take your orders from me.'"

SETTING: The setting of this book is in Ukraine, in a forest near the city of Lwów . I know this because on page 55 it says "There were beech trees all down the slope" showing that it is in a forest like area and that they are on a hill. I know it is near Lwów because on page 60 it says "...away from Lwów-away from him."This shows that it's near Lwów because Tolya want to get away from it.

Visualization: I know what Talya is seeing because on page 1 it says: "To be fair, he hadn't known at first that it was Zampolit Petrov-official representative of the Communist Party...." This shows that Talya couldn't see that he shot his commanding officer.
