Under the Manual of Arms from 1764, the Georgia Continentals lacked uniformity and discipline. The Continentals changed to Von Steuben's manual in 1777 and it improved their combat effectiveness. Steuben’s hands-on style of training helped the army become a more skillful fighting force and at the same time gave the army new life.

The swift fluidity with which Doerr moves between the stories of Werner and Marie-Laure and the parallels he creates between them emphasizes their shared humanity. As children, both Werner and Marie-Laure are depicted as innocent, with an element of ‘light’ within them, for they focus on the good in their lives- family, ambitions and dreams- despite the war. The fact that Marie-Laure is blind and motherless and Werner is an “undersized” (Doerr 24) orphan creates sympathy in the reader, especially as they are loved by other appealing characters - Marie-Laure by her father, great-uncle Etienne and Madame Manec, and Werner by his younger sister Jutta and care-giver Elena. Although separated by culture, gender, geography and even class, they are…
