Chapter 1 

• Anton's Attitude towards the assault in this chapter is collective and cool on the outside. He didn't join the people in their loud celebrations of peace and he didn't burst in tears when he heard the news of the death of his family. In his attempt to get over the past memories he got detached from the his present.
• Anton remembers the war as short broken bits of the past. When he recalls war he remembers the coldness, the hunger and lonesomeness. He also remembers the shooting, blood and prison cells as if it was all a nightmare.
• Anton's uncle and aunt treat him like their child except for the "friction" that they would have with their real child. Its obvious that they treat him with cautious sympathy. He doesn't feel like their child but he still enjoy his stay with them and he feels comfortable with them.
• After the war was over Anton felt relieved to know that the entire new universe he lives in is over. Though he knew he can't return to his previous one. He simply didn't want to remember any of the events that took place back then.
