Rationale

    I have chosen to write a letter from Georg Koves to his father, from the book “Fatelessness”. I did this because I want to demonstrate how the protagonist feels about some specific topics, like innocence, segregation and miss belonging to a community.

   As I wrote a letter, I can narrate the personal experiences of Georg in first person, being inside his mind. I can describe everything from the view point of a fourteen year old boy. His innocent perspective let me change all the real meanings of some things, like concentration camps or German soldiers.

   The audience of this kind of text is a very small one, only his father is supposed to read the letter, but maybe it could be evidence for the future of how was the Holocaust for Jewish teenagers, like Anne Frank. As it was a letter from son to father, it should be written in a kind language, as the writer revealed his feelings, memories and aspirations.

   The reason why there are some “historical mistakes” is because I wrote the letter in Georg’s perspective, as he is very innocent of every event that occurs.  “(German soldiers) They generate in me some feelings of security. I know they will protect us...” We can see here the “mistake”, the innocence versus reality. We all know that for Jewish people, a German soldier should be their greatest fear. We can see reality affected because of his poor experience.

 The title of this letter is “Miss You, dad”, and is very related to the main idea of the text, make the father of the boy realize how he is feeling.
