Reflection- Journal Number One

Character


  I chose this character because, throughout the novel, I think Lilli is the one who had the most consistent problem.  For nearly the entire thing, the places she goes to live in just don't work.  The others have problems, of course; Marilyn gets suspended, Max runs away; but Lilli's is ongoing and only gets solved at the very end, after everyone else is fine.  Even though there are three main characters, Lilli seems like the main main character.


Time


    I chose this time in the book because it shows the struggle to adapt to life in a new country, especially after the war.  Both households she lived in didn't understand her an hat she'd been through, and that created tension.  I also chose this time because it was , in a way the aftershock to the climax; the climax was undoubtedly when they were all at the beach trying to get Max to come back.  This happened as a result of that, and is almost as big as the climax itself.
