6. The barbed wire fence is a physical separation between Bruno
and Shmuel. What other types of separation does the fence represent in
this story?
8. At times, Father is shown as a
loving parent and husband. How is that possible given his role as a Nazi
officer giving orders to treat people inhumanely?
9. What does Bruno say and do to
show his growing understanding of the inhumanity going on around him, including
to his friend Shmuel?
10. When Mother learns that Jews
are being exterminated at the camp, she questions her husband. “How can you?”
she asks. He responds: “Because I’m a soldier.” Contrast these two
perspectives.
12. In your opinion, what does the end of story symbolize? Why?
12) The end of the story symbolizes karma because Bruno's father was killing Jew's in the war and then at the end of the movie his son Bruno gets gassed, which was ironic in the way that he died from the same way all the Jews died even though he was German, and once he figures out his son dies it makes him finally realize why he shouldn't of bin a part of this. It also symbolizes suffering and pain for the loss of a loved ones his parents by Ralf and Elsa. The mother wasnt apart of the Nazis and didnt agree with what her husband was doing. If they never would have moved, there then Bruno would have never died------(Cody, Bryce , Carlos)
ReplyDeletei really liked your comment because it is easy to understand and it makes sense but you could also have said that it symbolizes the death of the innocents. like Bruno and shmuel, the Jews were innocents

small grammar and spelling mistakes. On the other hand good response.
DeleteA few Grammar error's but other than that good.
DeleteI liked the idea of the conflict between the two populations, that was strong point. Saying that you could have expanded on the disagreement part.
DeleteBrett Nick Devin ^^
DeleteGood answer overall, Maybe a little bit more explanation on what the ending of the movie symbolizes. Explain your ideas more on karma and how it played into the eventual demise of Bruno. - ( Connor, Jackson, Sam)
Delete9) When Bruno began to notice the inhumane treatment of the Jews, he was very curious so he asked his parents about the "farm". When he assumed that his parents didn't tell him the truth, he turned to his sister and was told that Jews were evil and they were the reason why Germany lost the Great War.
ReplyDeleteCould you tell me more about what his parent said about the "farm"?

I liked that you touched on Bruno's curiosity but could you speak on Shmuel's experiences?

DeleteIt's a beautiful moment on the story because we can see how Bruno starts to see the world like an adult, a important on the movie.

Delete6. It is a symbol for the confliction between the Germans and the Jewish population as an entirety. The fence is an object that holds a physical boundary between the two boys which they are both equally confused about, regardless they still manage to become friends without the true knowledge of their parents disagreements
ReplyDeletei really like your answer due to the fact it is something i would have said and i totally agree that the barbed wire fence represented the separation of the Jews and Germans showing the viewers that the jews were like criminals and monsters even though they were completely innocent and the Germans were actually the evil ones-----Cody, Bryce , Carlos
Deleteour favourite part of your response is that it is really clear and it also explains the conflict between the Germans and the Jews. But you could also have said that the barbed wire symbolized the separation between death and life

10) Elsa has a strong moral compass, and any hate for for jews was destroyed when Pavel helped Bruno after he fell off the swing. Ralf's view is from the what he learned from propaganda, and the nazi government. Elsa questions her husbands decisions, and disagrees with what her children are being taught.

I really like how you explained Elsa's view. Could you expand on Ralfs view ?

ReplyDeleteBruno's father has two sides, one that shows how loving he is and one that shows his ability as a Nazi officer to treat people inhumanely. Bruno's father is just doing his job by following his orders. He wants to keep his job and liked the fact that he was getting a promotion even though it meant moving his family and killing mass amounts of people. Bruno’s father shows even though his job causes him to be mean he doesn’t show that side to his children. He treats his children and wife as a loving husband and father. He later decides that it is the best for his family to move away and not be a part of his work.
