Harry is one of the main characters in Native Speaker. I feel that his relationships will shape this novel. So far the relationships that stand out the most are those between Harry and Lelia, Harry and Hoagland, and Harry and his father. I think the development of these relationships will answer all or at least most of any unanswered questions one may have after reading these first few chapters. I think the development of Harry and Lelia relationship will shape the story because that is how the novel opens, with the list and their marital problems, and I believe that is how the novel will end with the answer of will Lelia stay or not. Harry and Hoagland's relationship will give greater insight into what Harry does for a living and whether or not he really is a traitor like Leila claims. Harry and his father's relationship will give greater insight into whether or not he is emotionally alien. In addition it will answer whether he just cannot get close to Leila again because of their son dying, like Leon and Ma after Ona died.
What relationship do you think will play a significant role in this novel?
