The book begins with a glimpse into David’s last encounter with his mother before he is taken into protective custody. While jumping out of his mother’s car as she dropped him off at school, his mother instructed David to lie about the origins of the bruises and scars that were scattered about his body due to his mother’s vicious beatings and punishments. The harsh disciplinary measures which his mother imposed on him led David to become the outcast of his school. His hygiene was less than minimal, and his clothes were ragged and filthy. These characteristics of David stood out to his school’s nurse, who had begun keeping track of David’s bruises and scars.

During this chapter, Noah tells a story about his dog Fufi. Young Noah was absolutely heartbroken when he found out that his dog had another family that she secretly visited during the day. Both Noah’s family and the other family thought that the dog was their own, and both refused to accept that she actually had two families. The intense feeling of betrayal after this occurrence is communicated through this anecdote: “I sobbed the entire way home, still heartbroken” (100). Even though he was hurt, Noah also learned a lot from his first heartbreak.
Chapter one of Genesis goes over how God created the heavens and the Earth. On the first day he created night and day. On the second he created the sky. On the third day God created the land, the oceans, and the plants. On the fourth day God created the sun, the moon, and the stars.
A main part of Chapter 1 which seemed quite unbelievable was how the Jews didn't act upon the news of the Germans whatsoever. In the span of Chapter 1, the Jewish community in Sighet received news about the Germans passing the Hungarian border with ease. They did not worry about it.

Understanding ourselves as well as our own personality is essential especially nowadays when huge numbers of people are unsatisfied with their jobs owing to the fact that they are not able to align work with their personal strengths and interests. By using Jung’s and Briggs Myers’theories of personality type along with Big Five Model which had been developed by psychologists over almost a century to create Personality Trait Test, these days people can identify and evaluate personalities to have a clearer view for future careers as well as personal lives.
