Character
There are three main characters in The Greenies, but Dany is the only boy out of the three. Lilli's and Marilyn's perspectives are very intertwined, because they go to the same school and many of the thing s that happen to one happen to the other. Danny's perspective is completely different and provides an entirely different view of everything that is happening. He is also the first orphan in the story to start working and his description of his dreams illustrate one of the affects of the war on the children.
Time
I chose this time in the story because it shows that Danny is really starting a new life in Canada an becoming independent. It shows that he is putting the war behind him and adjusting to life in Vancouver.
Yes, Danny is adjusting to life in Canada. I'm sure that in the time period staying in school did not have the same emphasis as it does today. Your reflection on Danny is quite short. Do you have anything else to say about him?
