This is my essay which I worked on for a whole term. This essay is all about the book which we have read as a class Once. The question for this essay is What Sort of Person is Felix? Felix is the main character of the book Once . I hope you like the points and the evidence which I state to backup my answer.
Felix had a good upbringing in the book because his parents were bookshop owners and he read a lot of books throughout his childhood and his parents owning a bookshop really helped him start his reading. His parents took him to a Catholic orphanage just to keep him safe because they knew that the nazis would kill him as he is a Jew. We know that he used to live in the bookshop as when he goes back to his town he says “I’m home “he is talking about the bookshop.
Felix has good communication skills as in the beginning of the book(in the orphanage)he sees that the bullies are bullying this new boy so he becomes a hero and tells the bullies this wild story of how the parents of the new of the new kid died(he made the story up)he says “A horse crushed his parents” In addition he reads a lot of books and also his dad taught him that when he learnt a new word to use it alot and use it correctly,this really helps.
Felix uses his imagination creatively as he is always making stories up around what is happening and he reads creative books especially by an author who goes by the name of William one of the stories goes like the following “Once a boy called William lived in a castle in the mountains and had a magic carrot and If he held it correctly he was granted 3 wishes” This shows you how creative he is.
Felix is also a nice friend as he shared the bread he was given with Zelda and also shared hos bottle of water with Zelda , this shows us that Felix shares with people and is not a selfish person. He also is naive as be told the Nazi officer about 2 german soldiers helping mend a windmill he narrates this in pg 101 ” Reach a remote African village and help mend a,um,windmill” This quotation refers to Felix being naive as Felix only knows 2 things about Germany,that apparently Germany is flat and that they have a lot of windmills. This is a very childish thing to say,also to backup my point he shows he is very naive in the first chapters of the book. At this part of the book Barney is drilling a Nazi officer’s tooth. During the quotation Felix stutters as he did not know a lot about Germany so he only used the things he heard about Germany.
Overall I think that Felix is a very Creative boy and naive he also has really good Communication skills this is in my opinion because of the evidence from the book and this is all because of his upbringing and his love of books. In addition I think he is also quite a normal child because of his friends and his strong friendship with zelda.
