Student Question: How do you compare to the main character of your book? My Question: What would you die for? Would you die for truth? Would you risk your life so that the truth might be revealed to others? Die for the freedom of speech? The main character in this book, Helmuth Hubener, was an actual 16-year-old German living through the Nazi regime during WWII who is sentenced to death for listening to a British radio station for the unvarnished truth of what was happening in the war. (German radios only reported the government's version of what was occurring.) He would then type up pamphlets to be distributed around Hamburg, Germany with the facts. Either of these acts could be seen as treason.
