At the beginning, Friedrich was innocent, happy and well-off. He also was dependent on his parents for his education, food and well-being. However, at the end, he was aware of discrimination, grieving and poor. Friedrich was also independent and was being forced to mature faster than other people his age.
PS// I did a word count. Exactly 50 words! :)
Hi Grace!
You're first ! Again!
I suppose your 50 words does not include the P/S comment, right?
Keep it up!
At first, Friedrich was carefree because his family was well-off and he need not worry. However, ever since he was exposed to discrimination, he became anxious and precautious. Later on, he became more independent and daring as he felt that he had nothing else left to loose except his life.

At first, Friedrich was like any other child, innocent and happy. He was aware that he was a Jew, but this did not affect him much until he realised the discrimination against Jews. He slowly became more and more independent and brave as he had to try to survive alone.

At first friedrich was well-off, happy, innocent, trusting and dependent on his parent.

At the beginning of the book, Friedrich was relatively rich, innocent, happy, generous, unselfish, peaceful and helpful. However, at the end of the book, he was desperate, in need of support, poor, very sad and very cautious. From the start to the ending, he had grown more and more independent.

In the beginning, Friedrich was childish and led a carefree life as he belonged to a well-to-do family. In the end, he was forced to be more mature and be able to accept the discriminations around him.
Friedrich was innocent by saying Heil Hitler at first. He did not know what he was saying and thought of Hitler in a good image. When he grows up, he matures quickly and starts to understand the situation. He grew aware and understanding of war, especially with the sudden change of events.

50 words exactly. I love myself.
Friedrich used to be happy and carefree in the early years of his life and didn't understand much about the discrimination against Jews around him.
At the end, he was less dependent on the people around him and became an 'introvert' – he was very cautious even to his best friend.

Friedrich felt comfortable and happy as one among the German children. He was less aware of the meaning of discrimination. He even joined the Jungvolk.

I thought that was going to be hard but turned out easy.
And the 50 words does not count "50 words start here" and "50 words end here"

In the beginning, Friedrich was innocent, partially naive, carefree and well-off. He was also very dependent on his parents for everything. In the end, he had become poor and was very mature for his age. He was also independent and his parents were gone so he had to support himself.
~P.S. I did exactly 50 words.
~P.S.S. That is excluding the P.S...
~P.S.S.S. Natasha spelt "lose" as "loose".
~P.S.S.S.S. Ryan left out an "s" after "parent".
~P.S.S.S.S.S. Jeremy put an extra "s" after "discrimination".
~P.S.S.S.S.S.S. Jian Chong wrote "He became more mature and independent" twice and got his tenses wrong in one part.
~P.S.S.S.S.S.S.S. Ashwin needs to check his entry...there are quite a handful of errors in it. =(
~P.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S. Sandra got part of her tenses wrong too.
~P.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S. Caleb and James got it wrong too! Please get your tenses right...
~P.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S.S. To Grace, Tze How and Benedict, it is "In the beginning", not "At the beginning".
In the beginnng, Friedrich was carefree and innocent.
He was not aware of the discrimation against Jews. Later in the end, he became more independent and seemed to become the head of the household and helped to support his family too. He is now aware of the discrimation against Jews.
P/S : i hope there are 50 words Xdz
Friedrich, during his childhood, was well-to-do, innocent and playful. As he grew and matured, he became more and more exposed to the discrimination. He became less trusting towards the narrator's family and had to learn to be independent so as to survive. Nevertheless, he never lost the will to live.
There, 50 words xD

Around the beginning of the novel, Friedrich was carefree, innocent, and lived a fairly comfortable life, and was very reliant on his parents. However, as the novel progressed, he was more serious, and grew more independent but slightly withdrawn. He also finally understood the true meaning of being discriminated against.

Bad Pun:
In the beginning of the novel, Friedrich was richly fried, like the potato pancakes, but later, he became stale.
-Aileen
In the beginning of the novel, friedrich was young, innocent and naive.His family was also quite rich so he did not need to worry about financial problems. However, the end, friedrich had lost almost everything and was aware of discrimination against him and was more mature and independent
Yay 50 words exactly :)(excluding this sentence of course)
He used to be carefree, young, and innocent. He was happy, and his family was quite well off. Yet at the end he was haunted by his parents' deaths and discrimination; he was also poor and lived in fear. Everything he did, he did with caution- his life was painful.

Yes, fifty words. I believe he would have been better off if he was fried while he was rich, instead of squeezing all the juice out of his life, then dying. Meh.
[Start comment here]
Friedrich was an innocent boy and did not know much about the world. As the story progressed, he was exposed to racial discrimination and started hardening his heart to all that bias. He grew a "devil-may-care" attitude after he had lost everything, which then turned to fear for his life.
