This short narrative gave us an insight into the war from a young girl's point of view, showing the innocence lost during this time.
The little girl is safe and secure in her world of innocence, surrounded by her own daydreams. The small girl's world slowly crumbles as she is exposed to images of the war and has all the other children gang up on her after being wrongly accused of pushing Paula into the mud and ruining her new snowsuit. The young girl feels victimized when even her own mother and uncle don't believe her.
The girl's adoration for her uncle is obvious as she looks up to him and enjoys spending time with him. To her, Uncle Frank is superman and is holding her world together.
