We learned that he lost his mother and father at the beginning of the book. He also lost his older brother, Mitch.

Throughout the book, we can see that Frenchie is a very brave young man, who would do anything to save his new "family", such as shooting someone. He is a very caring and loving person, very responsible, loyal, wise and self-disciplined.]]> 2020-02-03 15:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiamenniti03/themarrowthieves/wish/439706604 sofiamenniti03 https://padlet.com/sofiamenniti03/themarrowthieves/wish/439707584 Mitch is frenchie's brother.

Almost every character has lost one of their own, which is a difficulty of being Indigenous. The difference, i found, between Indigenous people and non-Indigenous people is that Indigenous people take the good of every bad situation and keep on moving forward. They always keep on fighting and I find it quite inspirational. ]]> 2020-02-04 02:59:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiamenniti03/themarrowthieves/wish/440058087 sofiamenniti03 https://padlet.com/sofiamenniti03/themarrowthieves/wish/440061082 Although all the members of Miig's group aren't related by blood, we can see that they consider each other as family.
