Prompt: List the personality characteristics of the main character (feelings, interests, behaviors, etc.)
Misha is very oblivious. He has spent his whole life on the streets of Warsaw. Before he met Uri and all of the other boys on the street, the only thing he knew was to steal and run. However when Uri took him in he learned a lot from him. Uri taught him about Jews and Gypsies. He told him what he could and couldn't do. Misha sometimes didn't listen. Uri got furious when he didn't listen, he punished Misha by hitting him.
Misha was also curious. He was always asking question about things like heaven and Jews and things he just had to do. He questioned the armband for the Jews and why they were moved to the ghetto. I feel like he didn't understand how the world worked. The worst thing he questioned or didn't understand was the Jackboots (the Nazis). He wanted to be one, he thought when they were walking down the street it was a parade and he wanted to be in it.
Misha loved Hazelnut buttercreams. Before he was in the ghetto that was all he wanted to eat (or steal). Misha also loved the black horse on the merry-go-round. When he first saw the merry-go-round it was all he thought about. He had dreams he was riding it, he even snuck out after curfew to try to ride it. However it didn't understand how electricity and lights work. When he discovered it was gone he was broken. Other things got him over it.
