Throughout the novel, it becomes obvious that Werner truly misses his sister, but it seems to go beyond that. It seems that she is a part of his guilt. As he becomes more brainwashed floods of memories of Jutta come to him. Do you agree Jutta is there as a part of his guilt for what he is becoming? Or does Werner just miss his sister?

Jutta is there as a part of his guilt for what he is becoming because she did not believe in what the Nazi's were doing to the country. When Werner became more involved with the Hitler youth he began to have his own doubts about the party and knowing that Jutta was against it made him feel even more as if what he was doing was morally wrong.

I don't think that Jutta is part of his guilt. I don't think that he feels guilty at all. His whole country tells him that what he is supporting is right. He still misses Jutta a lot though.

I agree that Jutta is a large part of Werners guilt. I feel as though Jutta symbolizes Werner's conscience, as he is carrying out the wishes of the Hitler Youth and the Nazis. He stops writing to his sister for a while because he is cannot recieve, or deliver mail, but in my opinion he almost feels relieved he doesn't have to write to her. He does not want to have to confess to the violent things he is involved with, and recieve her judgement and dissapointment back.
