Seen Trait: Something that I have noticed for Emilia is that whenever someone comes close to her, she always hides her stomach. I have also noticed that she loves August, but since she is separated from him and doesn't even know if he is alive I think that she has a crush on Florian now.

Unseen Trait:
I think that Emilia is pregnant, I believe that that is why she always hides her stomach. I know that nobody knows about August. I also feel like she is very attached to Florian because she feels very alone, and has nobody.

Seen Traits: A seen trait that Joana gives right off the bat, is that she is a medic, and cares for everyone. She wants the best for all the refuges. She will do anything to keep people alive. I think I have a answer for why she wants to take care of people, its because she has said she has killed someone. Which is why she wants to try and cover up what she has done, by doing the exact opposite on what she has done.  Another trait she has is that she is extremely observant, she almost like a detective. When she looked at Florian's wound she immediate knew what he did to try and treat it, and she knew what had caused the hole in him.

Unseen: One unseen trait she has is that she is very skeptical. I don''t know if that is the right word you would use. The reason I say this is because she always has her eyes out, and tries to find out who people really are. She also knows if they are lying. She knows if the information she is given is true.

# data[].attributes.body
Seen trait: Bravery. I think that Florian is a brave, fearless, and courageous character. The book starts off by him rescuing Emilia. Instead of being a coward he rescues here and then she refers to him as night. We know Florian has a lot of power and he extremely brave with it and he doesn't let anyone scare him. "My legs churned, sluggish, disconnected from my racing mind. I willed them to move, but my conscience noosed around my ankles and pulled down hard. You are a talented young man, that's what my mother had said" (Sepeyts 3). I chose this line because it shows how much pain he is going through. He is still very brave and pushes through the pain.
Unseen trait: Suspicion. Florian has no trust for anyone. He is too scared to talk/ even have conversations with others. We know he has a lot of secrets, but he is suspicious of everyone and does not want to share them.

# data[].attributes.body
Seen: I feel like a seen trait of Emilia is that she is hesitant. Ever since the cave incident, she doesn't want to talk to people that  much because she is scared. If she does say something, she thinks about it a lot before she says it.
Unseen: I think an unseen trait of Emilia is love. I'm not sure if that is considered a trait but that's ok. I think she wants to show her love to a lot of people especially Florian, but she is very nervous and doesn't want to get hurt again.

Golden Line: "Was he going to soot me? No, he had killed the Russian. He had saved me" (Sepetys 11). I chose this golden line because I think this is when she started to feel more love in her life. Towards him but also from him. She was just saved and I think that they really connected in that moment.

Alfred
Seen Trait: Alfred is seen by everyone around him as a coward. He is always hiding in closets, or trying to get out of doing his job.

Unseen Trait: Though people around him don't know about it, Alfred is extremly prideful. In his mental letters home, he talks about doing amazing things, how he's always about to be rewarded a premotion, where in reality, he is probably one of the last ones that would be premoted.

# data[].attributes.body
Seen Trait: Bravery
The seen trait I have for Florian is brave because he isn't really afraid of anything. He will do anything to save other lives before him at anytime. In one of the first scenes Florian saves Emily from getting raped and she really thinks high of Florian because he saved her from getting raped. I think that Florian would do anything for Emily just because he is so Brave.
Unseen Trait: Trustworthiness towards himself
Florian really trusts just himself but he can keep whatever it is that he doesn't want people to know he will keep it a secret. Florian will not let anyone touch his pack and this shows if someone was giving him millions of dollars he still wouldn't give it up because it holds so much. If someone were to tell him a secret he wouldn't tell anyone just like his pack he wouldn't let someone know about the secret.
Golden Line: A pain ripped through my side, forcing me to stop. The girl's feet quickly approached. I resumed walking. "Thank you,: she chirped from behind (Sepetys 16).

# data[].attributes.body
Seen Trait: A seen trait in Emilia is secrecy. She has many secrets she hides from the others in the group. For example she has told no one of her life back home. She has told know one of her parents and other family. She wonders in the book if she should tell Joana her secret.
Unseen Trait: An unseen trait that Emilia has is a fear of people leaving her. She has no family traveling with her so she has no one to stay by her side. Until Florian (the knight as Emilia calls him) comes and rescues her from the soldier. But already right after that she mentions that she is giong to leave him. "He wanted to leave me. His race was his own" "Why did everyone leave me?" (Sepetys 17)

# data[].attributes.body
Seen Trait: Brave
I chose this trait because she is so incredibly brave to go out and help people. when she sees emilia she was very uneasy because she was polish and she didn't really know what to do. but as Joana she knew exactly what to do to keep her calm. I think she is very brave and compassionate to the hurt because she just pours her heart out for these people. I can also see that she has a deep respect for people and their lives. she doesn't want to interfere with them but she needs to help them so she has to know some stuff about them.
Unseen Trait: Fear
I think joana is very fearful for what is going to happen everyday. she doesn't know if she will live the next day or if she will even get food so I thin she is fearful about what the war will do to her and innocent people. she also does a very good job hiding this because she is always worrying about others and never herself so that may be just to get her mind off of what is going on in the war. I also think that she is scared for the kids lives and how they are impacted by the war. the kids that get injured like emilia are very scared and don't know what to do with themselves so they go to Joana but she really doesn't truly know what to do with them either. when emilia and florian came in she said "the arrival of the german and the girl made me uneasy" (Sepetys 28) this showed me that she was unsure of what to do with them and if they were maybe spies. so I think that she was just very fearful of what would happen to her and the others if she didn't know what to do with them.

# data[].attributes.body
Florian
Seen Trait: Brave
Florian is brave because she doesnt get scared of anything and will stick up for others and help them out.
Unseen Trait: Scared
I think that florian gets scared a lot but tries not to show it and hide it so that other people dont see that she gets scared.
Golden Line: "The sound of her crying was painfluly familiar. It had the exact tone of my younger sister." I chose this as my golden line because I wonder if hearing her cry made her remember some about her family.

Florian
Seen Traits: Florian is brave, smart and quick witted. Florian is ready for whatever lies ahead, and he longs for a life without war.
Unseen Traits Traits: Florian is compassionate, even though he tries not to let it get in the way. He takes care of Emilia, he loves his sister and also cares for the wandering boy. Florian is out fro revenge, he want's to avenge his father and his younger self. He's been betrayed and he's not going to let the traitor get away with it.

# data[].attributes.body
Joanna:
Seen Trait:  A trait that I see in Joanna is Fear. She is always running from her past to find it's still there always plaguing her. i feel that fear is what motivated her to be a nurse. She wanted to fix what ever mistake she made so she helps other trying to keep busy so her dark pass doesn't come back. Also it says that she committed a murder in the book and that it is all her fault so she must she must think saving lives is making up for the life she thinks she took from the person she murdered. Fear also of being found and killed plagues her but not as much as the fear of her past.
Golden Line:
"I looked over at the girl in the corner, tears streaking her filthy face. she was fifteen and alone the tears reminded me of someone the memory opened a  small door in my mind and the dark voice slipped through.
its all your fault.
Sepetys,
Unseen Trait: an unseen trait that I think people don't see is longing. She longs to be loved after everyone she loves dies she just wants some she can confide it, someone she can trust to love her and be there for her. it may seem like she is ok because she has Eva and Ingrid also the she poet and the little boy. But in the book it says she lost her lover he left her and that is another whole in her heart that hasn't been filled just like murder she feels like it was all her fault and that is something that hasn't left her ever since she started carrying that burden. She hides all her pain from everyone else but Ingrid senses the ache in her heart. She hides her fear very well to she acts like she isn't afraid and that is very strong and nothing bothers her but deep down she is a scared young girl that doesn't know what to do.

# data[].attributes.body
Character: Florian
Seen Trait: Fearless
I chose fearless because he saved Emilia and was not scared about killing that soldier that was about to kill Emilia. Florian was not scared to save Emilia even though it might get him in trouble for killing a solider.
Unseen Trait: Fear
Florian does not show that he is in fear for what is going to happen to them for what they do because they could get in trouble for what he is doing shooting a Russian soldiers.

Seen Trait: A seen trait that Iv'e seen with Joana is that she is very caring for others. She noticed the little boy in the beginning and noticed that he was upset about something. Once she saw him she went and talked to him.
Unseen Trait: A trait that I have seen is that something is haunting Joanna and she doesn't know how to handle what is going on.
Golden Line: A line that I thought was important was " "Sick of hearing the phrase German Only. Could we really turn our backs on innocent homeless children? They were victims, not soldiers"(Sepetys, 31).

# data[].attributes.body
Seen Trait: A trait that I see is that she is very empathetic and caring. I feel like she is extra caring to others because of what her greatest crime was. Murder. I feel like becoming a nurse to help people is her way to try and make up for what she had done in the past. She clearly is very empathetic because some of the people in her group that she is traveling with, specifically Eva, want to leave Florian and Emilia behind, but she doesn't want to. She feels badly for them and thinks they deserve a chance.
Unseen Trait: An unseen trait that I noticed is that there is something that is haunting her. We are not clear what it is right now, but there is defiantly something that is bothering her. Also, this phrase keeps repeating "It's all your fault." She is getting blamed for something, and it bothers her. I think that she feels like it is out of her control and that is another thing she is running from.
Golden Line: "Sick of hearing the phrase German Only. Could we really turn our backs on innocent homeless children? They were victims, not soldiers"(Sepetys, 31).
I chose this golden line because it shows that she looks for more then just the race and where people come from.

# data[].attributes.body
Seen Trait: Mercy
Joana likes to help people heal, she likes to love and lead. She is my faveret narrator because she shows you that when mistakes happen, you can try to fix it but there is no going back and all you have to do is go forward.
Unseen Trait: Hopelessness
The part that hooked me was when she said the worst thing she has done was murder. It seems like she wants to save people because she wants to undo that life she took.  Like she says Guilt is a hunger.

# data[].attributes.body
Seen Trait: Lonely
I get the sense that Emilia is very scared and alone. She keeps following Florian because she want somebody to be with. After all, she sees him as her Knight and he saved her, so she probably feels safe with him. She wants to find somebody that she can feel safe with, but have a company. After all the hard she has gone through, she needs someone that will protect her and that is what Florian did for her.
Unseen Trait: Bravery
I think that even though Emilia is lonely and scared, she has a lot of bravery for going on the journey with Florian even in her situation. She has been through a lot in her past with men, but she is not scared of Florian and she is couragous and stays with him because she thinks that he can take care of her.
Golden Line:
"The giant woman recoiled when she learned that I was Polish, so I willed my legs to move faster, telling myself that once I tld the knight my story, he would understand. He would know what  I had done for his country. He would protect me" (Sepetys 46). I chose this line because it shows that Emilia trusts Florian and she knows that he will understand. She trusts Florian and knows that he will keep her safe.

# data[].attributes.body
Joana
Seen: Smart- I think that Joana is smart because she knows what she is doing. She also doesn't believe/trust everyone either, she tries to figure things out. Like with Florian. She knows something is wrong with him even when he says he is fine. She tries to figure things out like what's going on with Florian and Emilia and she doesn't give up easily. She also tries to come up with ways to keep everyone safe, especially the little boy traveling with them.
Golden Line- "What you need is to show me that wound that you're trying to hide."(Sepetys, 25)
Unseen: Worried- I think that Joana is worried because she sees the dead people along the road and knows the horrible things that are happening to people. She is also worried because they are running out of medical supplies and food and those are things that they need to survive. Everyday more people are dying and it gets harder to move on without all the supplies that they need but don't have. She is the only one who really knows how to take care of people professionally and that is hard because there are so many people who are hurt and sometimes they have to keep going even if they are hurt which threatens their health a lot. She also has to deal with all the different opinions of the people she is with and has to keep the peace.
Golden Line- "But nothing was clean. Everything was filthy."(Sepetys, 22)

# data[].attributes.body
Emilia
I chose Emilia because I feel like she has more to her story than she is saying.
Seen Trait: Damsel in Distress
In the very early pages of the book,  we see her being rescued by Florian. I think that after being saved by him she may begin to fall for him. A typical Damsel in Distress story. Though, I don't think that Florian will fall for her.
Unseen Trait: Wise
Though Shame is her hunter, I believe that she is very wise. She may not have been in her past times but I believe that she will be a very important asset to the group.

# data[].attributes.body
Joana
Seen Trait: Helping/Caring
Joana is a nurse and loves helping people. She is really caring and helps out Florian with his shrapnel wound. I think that she is also really caring because of what she did. Becoming a nurse might also be a way for her to help people and redeem herself. You can also see how caring she is with the people that are in her group.
Unseen Trait: Guilt
I chose guilt as an unseen trait because of how bad she feels about the murder that she committed. She feels very bad about what she has done. She doesn't open this up to people, but through the book you can see that she feels really bad about what she did and she carries that with her.
Golden Line: "We don't know that he's a deserter. I don't know who he is, but he's injured. He found the girl in the forest." I lowered my voice. "Cornered by a Russian"(Sepetys 28). I chose this line because it shows that she doesn't care that that he is a German, she cares about the fact that he is injured and wants to help him.

# data[].attributes.body
Joana
Seen Trait: Helper/leader
Joana is a nurse and loves to help people out in need.  She helps Florian out with his shrapnel wound and theirs a connection between them. She freely helps him and she does her best job. She gives everyone her best. She is basically the leader of the group and all of them know it. She knows what to do and makes quick good decisions.
Unseen: Guilt
She claims she is a murder and she is followed around by guilt by killing someone. She feels terrible and very guilty but she doesn't let people see that. She lets everyone see the leader and helper side of her, not the guilt.

Unseen Trait: The unseen trait that I chose is pride. From what I've read he only sounds prideful in his mental letters to Hannalore. "Yes, Hannalore, I shall prove to all of Germany. There is indeed a hero inside of me." (Sepetys, 8)

Seen Trait: Timid
I think that Emilia is timid because she is very quiet and she keeps to herself a lot. I also think that she has a lot of fear not just from the Russians but from what might lie ahead of her.
Unseen Trait: Courageous
I think that even though Emilia is quiet, she holds so much courage and bravery. She is obviously hunted by her past, I think that she is already brave enough to follow Florian even when he told her to go away. She is also brave by being accepted by people who could have turned her in to be killed. I think that she posses the courage to do the right thing in the end even if it means sacrificing herself.
Golden Line: "Leave! Go away!" I was annoyed. Angry. Why wouldn't she leave? Walking clearly exhausted her. "I follow far behind. You don't see me," she said in her broken German. "I can't protect you." "Maybe I protect you," she said, her face earnest. (Sepetys 53).

Character: Florian
Seen Trait: Fear/Helper
The character that I am fallowing is Florian, and I picked him because I really like his character and what I seen in him is fear and a helper and why I picked fear for one of the traits is because he has lot of fear that he is hiding and not letting the fear out, and he does not want to talk to anyone and he stores it up and does not let go. The golden line that I think shows the fear in him is-
“It would be warmer if I sat near the fire with the others but couldn’t risk it. No conversations.”
So why I picked that line is because he wants to go and sit with the others so he does not die of freezing to death but like he said he in his mind he does not want to risk it and does not want to say anything to anyone. Why I also picked helper is he helps Emilia with the Russian man and kills him before the man could harm Emilia and why I think that helper goes well with that scene is she is like his sister to him and he has some feelings for her and helps her through that time when the gun is to her neck with the Russian man.
Unseen Trait: Secretive
You can tell that he is hiding something but I picked this because Florian does not want risk it by telling what he is hiding.

# data[].attributes.body
Joana
Seen trait: Leadership
You can tell that she is a leader because she is helping all the hurt people in the barn right when she gets there with the little boy.
Unseen trait: Insecurity
Even though she is a leader she is hiding her questions about her family. I think she is trying to stay busy so that she doesn't think about her family and whatever that separated her from her family.
Golden Line:  The memory opened a small door in my mind and the dark voice slipped through it. It's all your fault." (Sepetys 31)

# data[].attributes.body
Seen Trait: One seen trait for him that I saw, was that he is very courageous and brave. He's also very mysterious and secret. I chose these because he saves Emilia instead of leaving her to die. But he also doesn't want her to get too close to him because he doesn't want her find anything out.
Golden Line: "For me he was a conqueror, a sleeping night." (Sepetys 17)

Unseen Trait: I think he is scared. He's scared people will find things out about him that he's trying to hide. And in the beginning we don't know anything about his background so that also makes him for mysterious. He pushes people away.
Golden Line: "leave! Go away! I was annoyed. Angry. Why wouldn't she leave? Walking clearly exhausted her" (Sepetys 53

# data[].attributes.body
My Character: Joanna.
My Rationale: I choose Joanna because I think she is a really cool complex character. I think that honestly she will survive the longest because she is smart, pretty, and skilled. I think that she is a really good nurse and is self sufficient and dependent on no one. She doesn't focus on the pain of her path, but rather the hope of her future and she is a very positive person with tons of trust.
Seen: She is a very brave motivated, hopeful person. Joanna is a very skilled nurse and is prepared for the worst. She is also very compassionate. You know this because instead of saving herself, she always chooses to help other people to the best of her ability and beyond.
Unseen:I think fear is something Joanna can battle with. This is because her past haunts her. She doesn't let anything show or get to her, but deep down is is determined by something to do this. Guilt.
My Golden Line: "Guilt is a hunter..... It's all your fault. The voice whispered." (SEPETYS 1)
P.S. I really like this book and think it is very interesting. It is also cool how they use the perspective of different people to tell the story because I know it is important to include many perspectives because it spices up the story, making it more intense, and can connect with more readers as it finds common ground.
Also, maybe my character is guilty that she feels she hasn't saved enough people.

# data[].attributes.body
The Poet
Seen Trait: Loving and Caring
The Poet is loving and caring from the first time we meet him. He is always wanting people to stay alive, by fixing their shoes. The Poet cares about people in some strange ways. The Poet cares mostly for The Wandering Boy, and they become really close throughout the time they are traveling.

# data[].attributes.body
Seen Trait: Courage
I chose this because he shows courage in the beginning of the book when saving Emilia. Florian could of run away from the Russian, but instead had the courage to save Emilia and kill the Russian. My golden line is, " No, he had killed the Russian. He had saved me" (Sepetys 11). This is said by Emilia after she is saved.
Unseen Trait: Scared
I think Florian is scared very often, but doesn't want to let people see it. We don't know yet what secret he has that would make him scared, but he doesn't want people to know about his past.

# data[].attributes.body
Ingrid: I chose Ingrid because she is very smart and she can hear and feel and smell things that we would never catch. That's because she has to rely on her other senses to keep her safe.
Seen: I think that Ingrid is smart and observative. I chose these traits because she catches things that nobody else does. She can sense that there is something not right about Florian.
Unseen: I think that she is also scared. It says in the middle of the book when they get to the ice that she was shaking because she was very scared of being killed.

# data[].attributes.body
Character: Joana
Seen Trait: I seen I can see from Joana is that she's a brave woman. Even though she's is in a lot of risk of helping others. I also think that Joana is a very independent person too. She wants to do and solve everything by herself but she also is a big helper. Since she is a nurse. Joana wants to help everyone she sees because after she killed someone. She thinks to try to keep that covered up. She will try to help anyone she can see.
Unseen Trait: One thing that you don't see from Joana is fear. Even though she seems like a brave person. She does have fear after murdering somebody. But Joana doesn't show that. I think she became a nurse to keep her mind off of fear by helping others.
Golden Line:   The memory opened a small door in my mind and the dark voice slipped through it. It's all your fault." (Sepetys 31) I think this goes well with her unseen trait about fear. I think this because she's trying to shut her fear of murderer away and it keeps on slipping in her mind.

# data[].attributes.body
Character: Florian
Seen Trait: My seen trait for Florian is brave, or caring even though he doesn't want to be perceived as that. I chose caring because of mainly the scene when he helped Emilia and saved her from getting raped. Emilia also refers to Florian as her knight. I think Florian looks to Emilia as if she is his sister and he cares for her as if that's true.
Unseen Trait: My unseen trait for Florian is deceptive or hiding, suspicious. I chose these because Florian is hiding something from us and we don't know what. He doesn't want anyone to see in his bag but the shoemaker knows something because of his shoes.
Golden Line: My heel. He had heard the hollow in my step as I walked across the room. He knew. (Sepetys 89)

# data[].attributes.body
Seen Trait:Warrior/Perseverance
Even though Emilia does not talk a lot you can tell by  the way she acts and even though she is in pain for whatever reason she perseveres.But I think the motivation for this is the fear of her past. She is afraid it will catch up with her. Her shame is a hunter. Slowly stalking but never pouncing.She is also the most keen warrior making her plans but keeping it to herself.
Unseen:

# data[].attributes.body
Seen Trait: Helper
I am following Joana in Salt to the Sea. A seen trait she has is a helper. She wants to help as many people as she can because she thinks she killed someone. Anyone she sees in trouble, she helps them. When she arrived at the barn, she saw a blonde girl and young man. They were Emila and Florian. She saw that they were both sick and helped them. The golden line I chose is from Florian but it's talking about Joana. "Are you injured? I have medical training." (Septys 24)

Emilia is a character that really draws me in as well as Florian.
Seen Trait: Observer
Emilia is very observant but still refers to herself as one who has many secrets. As we read Emilia's chapters her past unravels. Telling us about her father. I noticed how she observes and can tell many things about the travelers that many can't. She also is close to nature. She dreams many dreams and is very hopeful.
"The German stared at me, a combination of fatigue and frustration. But I understood. His eyes on the potato said, Emilia I'm hungry. The dried blood on his hands said, Emilia I'm injured. But the way he clutched his pack said, Emilia don't touch this."
(Sepetys 12)
Unseen Trait: Hidden Motivation
I noticed that Emilia is hiding something.... she's wounded but also something more than her family is motivating her. And that unravels through the story......

Mrs. O's Character Iceberg for Florian Beck

# data[].attributes.body
Seen Trait: Savior
Florian is one of my favorite characters in Salt to the Sea, and he reminds me of Dallas Winston in The Outsiders because he doesn't want to be perceived as someone who is concerned about anyone except himself. However, Emilia, the most observant of our four narrators, is quick to recognize his courage and to identify him as a knight. "For me, he was a conqueror, a sleeping knight, like in the stories Mama used to tell....If Poland was in distress, the knights would awaken and come to the rescue"(Sepetys 17). I think Florian rescues Emilia because she reminds him of his sister.
Unseen Trait: Deception
Florian hasn't told us what he's hiding, but he has a secret that he wishes to conceal from everyone else. Conversation is a risk he's not willing to take.
