[edit] 11-year-old schoolboy

While the novel can be easily read in most parts of the world as its story could have happened anywhere and in any age, an 11-year-old Hungarian schoolboy, Dani Bodnar, in 2006 describes the self-sacrifice of Ernő Nemecsek in a school essay this way: "I was very sick. I was thinking about why we had to fight for the grund. Because it was our country, our playing ground, for which we must fight even if we are in fever. Because that's what the grund was for us, our country."

Where on earth did this quote come from??? Is this some WP user's kid writing? There are surely many better quotes out there, from literary scholars et al. I really don't think it's necessary to quote an 11-year-old schoolboy - especially not on a novel that is as famous as this one! Lumendelumine 16:54, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
