Status Updates From Prisoner B-3087

Characterization: We learn about Yanek, when the author talks about how malnourished he looks, and feels. Also when the Nazis take him to take a shower, We learn that he just gives up, because he thinks he's going to get gassed by them because that's what most commonly happens you you get a "shower". These are both examples of characterization, because we get a better understanding of Yanek when the author uses them.
