“I am nobody.”
This quote caught my attention because of its hidden meaning. Uri is doing Misha a favor without him even knowing. By just soaking in these words. Although these are very harsh words they are extremely helpful for Misha later in the book. Misha’s new found big brother could not stand to see him be a passenger on any of the trains visiting the ghetto. So he took it as his responsibility to be Misha’s guider. To me it's obvious that Uri knows Misha very well he knows anywhere Misha goes he wouldn’t hesitate to introduce himself to the fullest extent. Uri being the smart responsible one though it wise to let him know that he is nobody. Even though it's not something that anyone would be delighted to hear. It would be a future life saver.
Immediately after reading this the first thing that popped in my head was “Fateless”. Yes they'll probably be questions about why. Well in the movie the main character Gyorgy went through much more hardship than Misha will ever imagine.(That's just in my opinion) He was unfortunate and fortunate to be sent to a working concentration camp instead of a death camp. That did not stop him from witnessing and experiencing what he did. Also fortunately he was able to make through and come out alive. With all the stress and trauma that Gyorgy was put into he was forced by his own mind and self esteem to feel like nobody. Just like misha. Do you think even though the situation was different Misha and Gyorgy’s situations were equally tragic?
