As we have gotten to know more about Marie-Laure and Werner, how has your opinion of them changed and why? Use evidence from the book to support your answer.

Personally, when I first began to read the book, I believed that Marie-Laure was going to be a shy, non risking taking girl. Soon, I found out that Marie takes risk and isn't as shy as I thought she was going to be. I found out she was actually a very brave young lady. For example, in page 304, "If he touches me, she thinks, I will tear out his eyes." This shows how brave and risking taking she is. As for Werner, I believed he was much more braver in the beginning. However, as the story goes on, I find out that he isn't as brave as I thought. For example, page 238, "... Each time Werner does nothing to stop it." I thought Werner would have done something to stop the boys hitting his friend, but he doesn't. Throughout, the story both of change in some good ways and some weaker ways.
