 Reading Questions The following activities are the questions Rosie and Ella completed for the Reading Questions.

Activity One: ** Question/s: ** What is the relationship between Bruno and Gretel? Why does Bruno seem younger than nine? In a traditional fable, characters are usually one dimensional. How might Bruno and Gretel be one dimensional? ** Answer: ** The relationship of Bruno and Gretel is that of a Brother and Sister. Although they respect one another, they do not interact with one another until they move to Out-With (Auschwitz) and become aware of the Concentration Camp next to their house. I think the reason that Bruno seems younger than nine years old is because he is very naive and believes everything he is told. It could also possibly be because he is very unknowing and his parents don't really treat him like a nine year old.

Activity Two: **Question/s: ** Bruno asks his Father about the people outside their house at Auschwitz. His father answers, "They're not people at all, Bruno." How does his father's statement make Bruno more curious about Out - With? ** Answer: ** Father's statement makes Bruno very curious as Bruno doesn't understand why the people over the fence, at least he thinks they are people, may not be people at all. Father's statement causes Bruno to explore the Concentration Camp, hence Bruno meeting Shmuel.

<span class="s1" style="color: #ff0063; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">In Bruno’s Journey through the book, he certify’s many things. I think the moral of the story is telling us just how terrifying the war was, no matter what side you were on. Also telling the the story of a friendship, the friendship of two completely different backgrounds and completely different beliefs, and how they came together in a bond.
