- How were the characters developed and why Berlin?
And why did I choose Berlin out of all places for this story to take place? I've researched Berlin in the past for a project during my sophomore year and I grew an interest in it and the interest was still there when we started this writing piece for honors. Along with that it was easy for me to write about a character in Berlin since I already knew so much about it. What took place during the time period my character is in was interesting and easy to write about which is also why I liked it.
Each character in the story has a purpose even if it's a small one, such being Hans father. Though he makes no official appearance within the story, it's known that his father's death shaped him up to be a tough guy at a young age. The same small role going for his wife, someone he loved dearly and someone who helped him escape from his tragic past and move on.
