Answer 6

I would guess that keeping the boy anonymous keeps the reader from developing too many solid ideas about him. If he was given a name, the reader could possibly begin to assign more attributes to him, cause the reader to form an opinion of him that the author didn't intend. Rojas is using this story to show that any of us could be in the position that the boy is in, and if you don't know much about the boy, it's easier to visualize yourself in the boy's place.
