1. Helmut is cast to the side with the weak during physical education. Helmut tries to "prove himself" for whom and why?
Helmut is young when he begins physical education classes. At that point, Helmut is not even aware of any weaknesses or differences between him and the other children. He does not know why he is cast aside with the other weak boys but he accepts this and does not argue with his instructor.
