Milkweed chapter 1-8 summery

The narrator’s name is unknown. He does not know anything about his identity. Uri is another character that takes the narrator to the orphanage that he is living at, since the narrator is also an orphan. There are a lot of kids in the orphanage. At the beginning they were trying to figure out the identity of the narrator with no success. At the end Uri says that he thinks the narrator is a gipsy, and this is all they know. The life in the Second World War is hard, especially of orphans who have to steal food to survive. Uri and the narrator are talking and Uri figures out that the narrator has a younger brother. The narrator says that he wants to be one of the Jackboots one day (Jackboots are the Nazis). In chapter 7, the narrator is given a name (Misha Pilsudski) by Uri. Uri tells Misha the story of how their family was separated and Misha is sad with him. Misha is happy he is not a Jew because he saw what the Nazis are doing and how they abuse the Jews.
