In the story, Projeckt 1065 by Alan Gratz, Michael O’Shaunessey is born in Ireland and then moves to Nazi Germany not knowing why his parents were doing so. A few years later, he realizes that his parents and whole family are spies for Ireland in Nazi Germany and if they get caught, they will be sent to a concentration camp. This is the most horrible thing for a prisoner in Germany besides death. Michael O’Shaunessey is significant in the story since Simon, a Jewish British Pilot (who crashed into a barn where Michael saved him at), discovers that there is a new plane without propellers known as Projeckt 1065. This German effort could change the whole course of the war if the Allied Powers do not figure out how to stop this massive project. Michael is told about this not knowing, his “friend, Fritz, has the blueprints to the plane in his own home. This causes Michael to go on a humongous task to try and find these plans, escape from Germany with Simon and his parents, and report them back to the Allied Headquarters. Michael is the protagonist in the story. He is the person who tries to help the Allied Powers from the villains of Nazi Germany. In addition, he saves Simon from being sent to a concentration camp and is now hiding him in his home in the Irish Embassy. One important quote in the story says, “Because that’s what Nazi Germany was: the bully who found your most painful wound and poked at it with a stick.” This quote shows how hard it was for Michael to sacrifice one man’s life for an entire operation. This is why Micheal still saved Simon in the barn. Michael has one of the best photographic memories for his age. This helps him remember the blueprints from Fritz and save the Allied Powers from Nazi Germany.
