Yes Anne and Peter are almost identical to most teens today. For example they argue with their parents like on page 388 when Anne's mother argues that Anne should not talk back and be silent. Peter also argues with his family. An example is when Peter argues with his parents about throwing his cat Mouschi away because he is a burden to the party. He hates being embarassed by his parents and is very shy similar to most teenagers as well. When Peter and Anne meet at first Peter is very shy and does not greet Anne or talk to her. Peter admits that he is a loner "I'm sort of a lone wolf" pg. 377. Peter also blushes and shows is anger when his mother says that it is "okay to have a little girlfriend (pg. 383)." Teens are very shy and sensitive about girlfriend and boyfriend issues. This was one important similiarity I found in Peter.

I disagree, not very uncharacteristic, or in other words, a very characteristic move of mine. I agree with your informative conclusion concerning the characteristic characteristics of Anne. She shouts at her mother a lot and is always full of energy. In rather 'un'-medical terms, she is full of hormones. In medical terms, she is undergoing the natural stage of puberty which teenagers experience. But Peter is a different story. He doesn't have the energy or the recklessness which are signs of teenagers. Neither was Margot but she might also be one of the uncharacteristic teens as well, though. As for Peter arguing with his parents, anyone would have argued if their parents or anyone had the intentions of abandoning their pet. The only time Peter actually gets a characteristic move of a teen is when he picks up the chair in his rage, as if use it as a weapon. You could also be credited for talking about Peter's sensitivity about the topic of girlfriends or just his sensitivity at all. A good example is when Peter gets embarrassed when his father get selfish about the food supplies, this shows his sensitivity towards his family reputation and how other people think of him and his family. Now is the time I tell people what a nice job they done but I think that since that would be too uncharacteristic, I shall not do it.
