This question calls for your opinion, there is no right or wrong answer. In my opinion, Miro's childhood and circumstances are sympathetic. After his parents death, he and his brother were essentially homeless...... they were hungry..... driven to thievery and begging in order to survive.

The stranger who took them off the streets gave them shelter and provided for their needs. None-the-less, they had a choice whether or not to be schooled in terrorism, they had the choice to walk away, to escape. They had a choice to walk away and never follow the man to begin with. Most people would condemn their behavior, but at this point their loyalty has been transferred to their new family.

You would think that Miro's brother's death would have been an eye opener, but even that didn't stop him from entering a bus carrying young children.... from killing the driver, from killing the young girl. So, do I find this Miro sympathetic..... absolutely not. This Miro is a murderer. I can sympathize with the boy.... but I cannot sympathize with the person he becomes.
