As I presented in my older posts, the setting of this chapter and the whole book is Budapest, during the Second World War. This chapter, in particular, takes place in the Koves' neighborhood only. The purpose of the author with this piece is to entertain the reader, but also to tell how Georg's life changed once his father left the house. Therefore, the main idea of Chapter 2 is the transition of Georg from being a boy with no worries to a young working man who has to support his family in the Nazi Regimen and who experiences love. In this piece, it's important to highlight the simile used by Georg about the Prince and the Beggar to explain his view about the "differentness" between persons, because Georg thought that what makes people different is just the outside; for example, the yellow star that the jews must wear during the Nazi Regimen.On the other hand, the second chapter also shows the relationship between Georg and Annamarie. Although they had already been near (Narrator uses a Flashback to tell their first encounter), their relation became stronger in this piece. In fact, the kissed several times. However, at the end of Chapter 2 we also have the chance to read about their first quarrel, which showed up after Georg's discussion with the older sister. Luckily enough, their problems where rapidly solved when Georg waited for Annamarie before visiting the sisters again. This was a clear sign for Annamarie about Georg's intentions and she decided to continue with the relationship as before.
