4. From whose point of view is the story told? Why do you think the author chose this point of view?
I think the point of view is first person and the story will be told by Bruno. I think the author chose this point of view to show the struggle of a child that is sheltered and parents to not tell them what is really going on in the world.

1. Maria is packing Bruno's things because they are planning to move because his father's job consist of moving elsewhere.
ReplyDelete2.Bruno's father has to move away because his father's work is there and he is a higher ranked soldier so it is very importan for him to be there.
3. What matters most to Bruno in Berlin is his three best friends Karl, Martin, and Daniel.
4.I think that the story is told in first person because it shows how Bruno thinks,feels,and what his actions are in the story. It shows how a child dosen't know whats going on in the real world but his parents keep the truth away from him, and hide it in secret.

ReplyDelete1)Maria is packing Bruno's things because his father's job requires him to move into another area.
2)Bruno's father must move away because as a German soldier he must do what he is told or run the high risk of getting in really big trouble
3)The things in Berlin that matter most to Bruno are his best friends Karl, Daniel, and Martin.
4) This book is written from the third person limited point, it's still from the outside looking and the view of only one person (Bruno) is show which is why the word I, Me, Mine, etc are used every so often.

ReplyDelete1. Maria is Packing Bruno's things because his fathers job has relocated him and requires that he lives in a new house and different place.
2. Well Bruno's father is a high ranked soldier so his job requires him to live closer to his work or like his mother said "it is a very important job for a very important man".
3.The thing that matters the most to him is the friends he's leaving behind which is Martin, Karl, and Daniel.
4.The Author is Using Third-Person Omniscient i think this allows readers to know everyone's feeling while still understanding the main characters feelings.

1. Maria was packing Bruno's thing because, Bruno's family was moving for his dads new job far away from Berlin.
ReplyDelete2. Bruno's father must move away for his job because, in the book Bruno's mother tells him that the man who employs his father needs to go somewhere else because there's a very special job that needs to be done
3. I think that his friends are most important to him because, he said in the book he had plans with them and he also said that they were his best friends for life.
4. I think that the point of view for the story is third person omniscent because, omni means all and the narrator knows all the characters thoughts and feelings and I think he chose this point of view so the reader could get a better understanding of the book by telling what the characters are feeling.

For my Connection to Chapter 1 I did a text to self situation. Just like Bruno came home to his family packing I did too. I came from school one day to my mother and father putting bags in the car. I asked "What's going on?" No one answered me but when I looked into my mothers eyes they were red just like Bruno's mother's. Then after about 30 minutes my mother finally said "Your father has been relocated and we are moving to South Carolina." I was devastated and cried for 8 hours non-stop.

1. Desolate- adjective; lonely or deserted
pg. 11: The new house, however, stood all on its own in an empty, desolate, place and there were no other houses anywhere to be seen, which meant there would be no other families around and no other boys to play with, neither friends nor trouble.
2. Frothy- adjective; foamy
pg. 13: In Berlin there had been tables set out on the street and sometimes when he walked home from school with Karll, Daniel, and Martin there would be men and women sitting with them, drinking frothy drinks and laughing loudly; the people who sat at these tables must be very funny people, he always thought, because it didn't matter what they said, somebody always laughed.
3. Forseeable- adjective; within sight or predictable
pg. 15: 'We're here, we've arrived, this is our home for the foreseeable future and we just have to make the best of things. Do you understand me?'

ReplyDeleteCiara A. /Chapter 2/Summarizer
Chapter 2 was basically about Bruno's big move. At first he talked about how the new place was exactly the opposite of his old home in Berlin. He also talked about how much he was going to miss his friends Martin, Karl, and Daniel. His mother pointed out the off-limits area to Bruno and Gretel which was their parents room, their parents bathroom, and their fathers office. Even though he was in denial when he moved to the new place he now thinks he will only be there for the "Forseeable Future" (3 weeks).

ReplyDeleteBruno came home to see that Maria the maid was packing his stuff. Bruno rushed downstairs to see his mom looking uneasy. Bruno's mom said the family had to move because of his father's job. Bruno was upset and all he was worried about was his three best friends.
Discussion Director:
1. Why doesn't Bruno like that officer that came out of his father's room?
2.Why do you think Maria the maid didn't answer the question, "Do you think coming here was a mistake?".
3. Why do you think Maria says, "Well they have a very serious jobs, or so they think so anyway. But if I was you I'd steer clear of the soldiers?
5. If you were moving like Bruno would you be upset like Bruno, if yes or no state why?

ReplyDeleteBruno comes home to find this things being packed up. Bruno is suprised to find out that him and his family are moving out of Berlin to a new house, thus leaving all the things Bruno cant take with him like his friends and plans he had for the summer. This is not because he has been disrespectful but because his father has new orders from the fury. Bruno disagree's with this decision but has no say so in the situation and one reason for that is because the family see's him as a little 9 year old kid.
