I wonder if the classroom setting was meant to mirror real historical events or to make the story more relatable for young readers. How did the setting influence the story's impact?

It made me think about how peer pressure and authority can override personal morals. Were there moments when you questioned whether you'd resist or follow along?

The teacher's role is crucial here, but I’m curious how the narrative might shift if we saw things from his point of view or if he had more internal conflict.
