  1. 1. I was confused in chapter 11 when they were talking about the Fury coming over to their house when I had no idea who the Fury was.
    2. An example of when I saw the world from a more innocent perspective was when I thought my dad was mean when he pulled people over, and I thought it was for no reason. I saw differently when he told me that they were doing bad things that could possibly hurt other people.

  5. 1. I was confused when they went back in the beginning of the story for the whole chapter.
    2. When I was young I thought nothing people dod was wrong Basically like it's a free world.Things that made me believe that was because I was the youngest out of three and when I did things I didn't really get punished.

    1. I was confused when Hitler was so demanding with his wife like she didn't control her own body.

    2. When I was young I thought that everyone was harmless, but as I grew I learned that people can be mean,nasty,rude, and cruel.What helped me see this was when i was in 3rd grade i wanted to be friends with this girl so I said hi and she just rolled her eyes like I did something to her.

    Chapter 11 was mainly about the Fuhrer's visit to Bruno's old house in Berlin. In the chapter it talks about how Bruno's dad got promoted to Commandment. It also talks about Hitlers wife Eve Braun. Bruno only speaks to Hitler when he enters there home but automatically Hitler has an bad impression unlike his lovely wife who is bossed around by Hitler.Bruno thinks that Hitler is a mean and rude man now.

  8. 1. I was confused when Bruno's father said that The Fury was coming to their house and I was wondering why The Fury would come to their house but then I read on and found out why.
    2. When I was a child and viewing the world at a more innocent perspective, I used to think that all people were boys and as I grew up and my mother taught me about who's a girl and who's a boy.

    1. I was confused when Bruno's mother and father was arguing before they moved because Bruno didn't hear the whole argument.
    2. When I was young my parents told me that when people passed away that they were sleeping, but soon I realized that when that person in the casket and didn't wake up I knew something was wrong.

  18. 1) I was confused when they said the Fury was coming over. I was confused because I thought the Fury was the Nazis in general. I didn't know it just meant Hitler.
    2) When I was younger I couldn't do some things my older cousins did like ride the dirt bikes, walk across the street by myself. go into stores by myself, ect. When I got older I saw it was because of maturity level and a level of responsibility. The older you get the more mature and responsible you are.

    2. Give an example of a time when you were young child and you saw the world from a more innocent perspective. What are some examples of that? What experiences helped you see the world differently than what you initially thought?
    When I was younger I thought that ever kid that I came in contact with was going to be my friend but I found out that some kids are mean and do not want to play with you.
    I also thought that in life when you ask for things you get it! but in life you don't always get what you want, parents work hard to make sure you have what you need.

  31. 1. I was confused when the boy couldnt just climb under the wire so easly as Bruno explained it, or at least tell others how easy it was because it didnt seem to be any soldiers watching them at all.
    2. There was a time when I thought were contenents were known as states and states were known as countries. History or World Geography cleared up my confusion because I used to brag.

  32. 1. I was confused when the Fury kept shouting Eva's name. Eva was just trying to get to know Bruno and Gretel unlike he did. The Fury could've waiting patiently for her to finish but he just kept yelling at her until she finally came.

    2. When I was younger, I used to think that everywhere and everybody was friendly. I didn't know about any wars in the world, quarrels, disagreements, violence, or anything of that nature. It didn't occur to me that bad things were happening until the 9/11 terror attacks and also eye-witness accounts of people being tortured for no reason. Those events and many others really opened my eyes to the bad things happening in the world.
