FLN's Chapter 3: Interesting Quotes!

In this post, I'll present some intriguing quotes I've found while reading the third chapter of Fatelessness. I'll also try to use and practice the PEE structure (Point, Evidence and Explanation), explained in one of my older posts.

• In this chapter, the policeman shows as a friendly man to the boys and it seems that he is just following his general's orders. "I could see straight away that he had nothing against us - nor indeed he could have, naturally" (P. 41). The quote clearly states the vision of Georg about the policeman. Koves thinks that the policeman is just doing his job and that he doesn't want to bother or hurt them.
• The third chapter leaves the reader with a special taste, because it seems that the boys don't really know what's going on and that they just try to enjoy their weird experience with the policeman. "We gathered around him exuberantly, giggling, as if he were a teacher on some school excursion, with him in the middle of the group, pensively stroking his chin"(P. 44). In the quote, we can appreciate that the boy try to have fun regardless the situation they're living, because they don't expect nor think that something bad could happen.
• Georg Koves was greatly impressed when he entered what seems to be a Concentration Camp. The reader can also deduce that it's a place Georg has never been in before. "They led us on into a maze of gray buildings, before we suddenly debouched onto a huge open space strewn with a white gravel" (P. 56). The quote clearly expresses that Georg is in a place that he isn't familiar with. It's somewhere in Budapest that he doesn't know. Also, this is the first time Georg is confronted directly and alone with the Nazi Regime.
