The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

Analysis Questions: (http://goo.gl/OA9O9)

1)Bruno moved with his family so his father could be closer to the Nazi death camps. At first only father knew the real reason for moving to the country. Why do you think father was so secretive about why the family moved?
-I think the father was secretive about why the family moved because he did not want his wife or children to back out of the moved. This was proven when the wife found out that Nazis were being burnt at the concentration camp and it was at a see-able/smellable distance from their home.
2)Bruno was taught the think of Jews in a certain way. What was Bruno taught about Jews?
When Bruno fell from the swing a Jewish man helped him. Why was this event significant to Bruno’s mother’s thinking of Jewish people?
-Bruno was taught the Jews were bad and the reason the war began. This was proven when the tutor taught Bruno about "horrible" things Jews have done. A Jew helping Bruno when he fell off the swing was significant to his mother because it made her think Jews were not actually bad people and placing them in concentration camps, using them as slaves, etc. was mistreating them.
3)Bruno’s father evolved and transformed from a loving father to what? Why?
Bruno evolved and transformed as well. What kind of boy was he at first, and what did he transform to?
-Bruno's father evolved and transformed from a vicious soldier because he was more invovled in Nazi containment rather than his family. Bruno also transformed from a innocent boy to a caring developing person. He transformed from a innocent boy to a caring developing person. He transformed when he began communicating and creating a friendship with the boy in the concentration camp.
4)Describe your feelings about Bruno’s actions. Include descriptions of the scene and the choice(s) Bruno made, and what difference his actions made.
-Bruno's actions to help the boy in the concentration camp resulted in his life because Bruno died at the end of the movie. The scene was intense because Bruno changed into striped pajamas and crawled under the fence and went into the concentration camp to help his friend find his father but during that process him and his friend got caught up into a group that was being transported to be brunt and they was told they were "taking a shower."
