QUESITION? I HAD A THEORY: Those who are named are bad while they in fact should be the ones that get forgotten. And vice versus those who are good, the lady and the fallen priest for example are unnamed and good people including the lost boy and the warden. And then I thought the narrator is unnamed too, maybe he is one of those men that doesn't deserve to be on the row but then in the end to my surprise he was name

Rene Denfeld Sorry I just saw this, Nichole! Those who are destined to die in the prison are named, while those who survive (like the white-haired boy) are unnamed. This is a flip of what we usually do to inmates, which is to erase their identities. The exception is the narrator, who becomes named as he finds his own personal freedom.
