I feel as if at the end of the chapter was the most important part when Bruno looked throught the window in his room, because he unknowingly saw the concentration camp and the Jews treated so poorly dressed in the striped pajamas.

"Bruno thought about this and frowned. He wasn't particulary bothered if Gretel was being sent away because she was a hopeless case and caused nothing but trouble for him. But it seemed a little unfair that they all had to go with her." (page 3)
-I thought this was interesting because the way he viewed his sister was truly intriging. By the way he described her, his choice of words inticed me. He viewed his sister as a "hopeless case".

Discussion question chapter 3-4
ReplyDelete1. The relationship between Bruno and Gretel is bitter. They always fight and argue. Bruno is 9 years old. Gretel says he seems younger because he’s always wining and complaining like a little baby.
2.
3. Gretel and Bruno both see a bunch of people in these weird looking striped pajamas. They saw soldiers yelling at them and telling them what to do and where to go. When Bruno and Gretel saw what was outside Bruno’s window they were very confused on why there were people out there walking around, wearing weird clothing.
4. The title from my fable read was called The Ant and the Grasshopper. The moral lesson of the fable was to always be prepared for something that you need later on.
5. Foreshadowing – giving the reader a hint if what comes through the setting. I think an example of foreshadowing in this story would be when Gretel is nervous about seeing what’s outside Bruno’s window.

I think towards the end of chapter two was important because, Bruno is starting to see what type of job his father has as he starts to look through his window.

ReplyDeleteI could connect this to when my mom picked me up( I think in 2nd grade.) and she was crying and I was like whats wrong. Turned out we were moving. So I got home and a moving truck was there. I'm not sure if I had already knew because I don't remember. Actually I was kind of happy to be moving even thought Bruno didn't want to.
Chapter 3 and 4 Questions
1. The relationship between Bruno and Gretel is kind of rocky because she think he's such a kid and is always being mean to him. Bruno says that Gretel is a hopeless case. Bruno is 9 but seems younger because he is short.
2.Bruno and Gretel can be considered one-sided because they don't change much during the story. Bruno is one-sided because he stays curious throughout the whole story. Gretel is one-sided because she stays the same because she still thinks Bruno is a little kid.
3. The shocking discovery that Bruno and Gretel make is that they see a large fence that has people in striped pajamas on the other side. They were both suprised by what they found but Gretel rather not look over there while Bruno was curious and kept looking.
4.The Boy in Striped Paja,as. The moral story is treat others the way you want to be treated.
5.Foreshadowing is when the author hints something about the future event of the novel. Foreshdowing on page 28 was that she prayed hat they would be moving back to Berlin.
1.The relationship between Gretel and Bruno is more like demanding and bossy. Gretel tell Bruno no matter what she is always in charge of him. Bruno is 9 years old and he seems younger because he is vertically challenged .
ReplyDelete2.Bruno and Gretel are one-dimensional because they disagree most of the time but only a little bit of the time they get along.

1.Bruno and Gretel do not have the greatest relationship. You can tell that Bruno is younger because he is always trying to find something to explore or mess around in. Gretel acts more like a teenager.
ReplyDelete2. You can see Bruno and Gretel as a one dimensional character because the story is being told by a narrator but then sometime they talk.
3.They looked out the window and saw the Concentration Camps.
4. The boy who cried wolf is an example of a fable. From this fable I learned that if you keep lying about so many things than someone might not believe you.
5. Foreshadowing is like flashback only it is like a prediction of the future.
Ciara A.
ReplyDelete1. The relationship between Bruno and Gretel is a normal one. Gretel is the bossy one who gets everything she wants and Bruno is the annoying little brother. Gretel never wants Bruno in her room and Bruno feels as if her dolls eyes watch her when he gos in her room. Bruno is really 9 but everyone mistakes him for six because he has the body of a six year old.
2.They may be considered one-dimensional because they may not change or grow during the story.So far Bruno has stayed the same by wanting to leave and go back to Berlin.
What shocking discovery do Gretel and Bruno observe as they look out the window? What is the reaction of each character?

chapter 4
"...this time she wasn't looking at the flowers or the pavement or the bench with the plaque on it or the tall fence or the wooden telegraph poles or the barbed wire bales or the hard ground beyond them or the huts or the small buildings or the smoke stacks;instead she was looking at the people." Chapter 4 page 35
I found this interesting because of her change of focus. One second she wanted to know everything about their new place but then she saw the people and it changed. She then wanted to know who they were, why they were there, and what they were doing.
1. Bruno and Gretel's relationship is very interesting and hard to describe. Bruno is afraid of Gretel yet he doesnt want to admit to this he is in fact scared of her. Also Bruno describes Gretel as a "hopeless case" who causes nothing but trouble for him. Bruno is nine years old but he is very short for his age so most people think that he is younger.
ReplyDelete2. I think these characters might be one deminsional characters because not once has the author mentioned what Bruno or Gretel looked like or much about their personality in detail.
3. The reaction of Bruno is he is confused and wonder why they are there, Gretel thinks that they are farmers.
4. My fable read was "The Ghrasshopper and The Ant", which taught me to work and dont procastinate and do what i need to get done so that in rough times i will have what i need to.

chapter 3
To paraphrase it, what happened in chapter three was Bruno was having flash backs about how Gretel's friends would make fun of him by saying he was six and not nine because of his lack of tallness.Later in the chapter he goes into Gretel's room and tells her about how bad the house is and how he hates it and the so called weird children he saw through his window, Gretel was curious about it because she didn't see any children around the place or the out-with. Gretel told Bruno that the out-with is the name of the house instead of calling it home because the people who lived there before were kicked out or out-with.When she saw through Bruno's window, she could say nothing, because her window on her side of the room had a completely different view. Bruno's however showed the children in the stripped pajamas in huts and working over a barbed wire fence.

1) Gretel is Bruno's older sister who he think is a "Hopeless Case". Bruno is only nine years-old, but he seems as if he is younger because of the way he acts.
ReplyDelete2) Bruno and Gretel are considered to be one-dimensional because they stay the same through in personality and their opinions. It almost seems as if they dont learn from their expirences.
3) Bruno and Gretel discover the concentration camp off in the distance. Bruno wanted to explore it and Gretel was calmer and thought of it as nothing of importance.
4) The Boy Who Cried Wolf, the moral lesson was that if you tend to lie often over time people will stop believing you even though you are telling the truth.
5) Foreshadowing is the author/writer hinting at something either good or bad that will occur later on in the story/movie. An example of foreshadowing on page 28 might have occurred when Gretel set down her doll showing that she would later on change.

Foreshadowing is indication of a future event. An example found on page 28 is when Gretel prayed before looking out of the window and how nervous she was
2. Bruno and Gretel could possibly be considered one-dimensional because they haven't made any changes in their thoughts and opinions. They keep complaining about how they are ready to go back to Berlin.

5. Foreshadowing is having a thought that something will happenn before it does happen ex. "thier out there".

ReplyDelete1. Bruno and Gretel's relationship is seems kind of neutral. Bruno says that Gretel has been trouble since day one, but he is still scared of her. He does little things to annoy her, but he still respects her since Gretel is older than him. I thinks that Gretel feels that since Bruno is 3 years younger than her he doesn't know much. Bruno is 9 years old. He seems younger because he is childish and he likes to have a lot of fun.
ReplyDelete2. Bruno and Gretel could be considered one-dimensional because as they discover new things, they don't seem to learn anything new as the story goes on.
3. What shocking discovery do Gretel and Bruno observe as they look out the window? What is the reaction of each character? Gretel and Bruno discover the things that go on on the land beyond their house. They see the barbed wire that surrounds their house, dirty looking people being bullied by soldiers, and having to do work. Gretel tries to come up with explanations for everything they saw. Later on she just sits on her own and continues to ponder. Bruno just continues to observe and tries to put things together.
4. The title of my fable is The Ant and the Grasshopper and it was written by Aesop. The moral of this fable is it is best to prepare for the days of necessity.
5. Foreshadowing is when a character predicts what will happen later on in the story. Example on page 28: "She (Gretel) swallowed nervously and said a silent prayer that they would indeed be returning to Berlin in the foreseeable future..."
1. The relationship between bruno and gretel is that there brother and sister. Bruno is 9 and gretel is 12.
ReplyDelete2. Gretel and Bruno is considered one sided because there is only one charastitic to them.
3. Gretel and Bruno discover the un-freindly looking boys outside the window.
4. Brother and sister would be a great for this moral lesson.
5. Forshadowing means to think to the future, and bruno forshadows that the kids are unfriendly.
Connector: Chapter 2
ReplyDeleteI would connect Chapter 2 and the hatred Bruno has for his new home with my bestfriend Taryn Washington. I think this is a good connection because 2 years ago she had to move to Virginia because her dad is in the military. She didn't want to move away from all of her bestfriends just like Bruno, but she didn't have a choice. When she first got to Virginia for about a month she called me and told me that she hated it because it was boring. She has adjusted some, but she still doesn't like it much.
1. Bruno is 9 and he acts younger because he askes alot of questions like a 6 year-old.
ReplyDelete2. Because Bruno and Gretel are not feeling the same way about the trip.
3. There were unhappy people and their reaction was a frozen face.
4.Bruno felt very scared of Gretel because she and her three friends would pick on him but one the move into their new home I think Broun begin to find out the Gretel was not a bad person.
5. Foreshadowing is a prediction and the prediction was when Gretel was not sure if she should see those children.
1.Bruno and Gretel are not very close. Bruno considers Gretel a "hopeless case" and he's also secretly afraid of her. Bruno is nine years old, but he seems younger because he is shorter than the average nine year old.
ReplyDelete2. Bruno is considered a one-dimensional character because he is very curious. Gretel is considered a one dimensional character because she is 12 years old and plays with dolls but she thinks she is in charge.
3. When Bruno and Gretel look out of the window they see a metal fence with fathers,uncles and boys of different ages. Both Bruno and Gretel are shocked and amazed at the people inside the fence because it looks like they did not bathe.
4.The title of a fable I once read was The Boy Who Cried Wolf. The moral lesson about humanity I learned was that nobody believes a liar.
5. Foreshadowing is a warning or indication of a future event. On page 28 when Gretel came in Bruno's room she was nervous because of the way Bruno spoke, stood and looked out of the window. She prayed before she looked out of the window.
1.Bruno and Gretel's friendship is rocky. They argue like normal brother and sisters. Bruno us nine and he seems younger because he complains.
ReplyDelete2.Bruno and Gretel seems one dimensional because the story is not told in a point of view but a narrator narrates the story.
3.Shocking discovery to Bruno and Gretel was looking out the window seeing people in striped pajamas while soldiers where there.Bruno's reacted confused.
4.The fable I rwad was the Ant and the Grasshopper and the moral was to be prepared.
5. Foreshawdowing-To present an indication or a suggestion of beforehand.Gretel swallowed nervously and said a silent prayer that they would indeed be returning to Berlin in the foreseeable future and not in a month as Bruno had suggested.(p.28)
Illuminator: Chapter 3
ReplyDeleteI think one of the most significant passages is when Gretel says the name of the house is Out-With. I find this to be significant because I think Gretel is mispronouncing it and is meaning to say Auschwitz.
My second most significant moment is when Bruno shows Gretel what's outside of his window. I find this significant because now Gretel can truly understand why Bruno hates it so much.
1)Discuss the relationship between Bruno and Gretel. How old is Bruno and why does he seem younger?
ReplyDeleteBruno is Gretel's brother and is kind of scared of her. He is nine but is very short which makes him seem younger.
2)In a traditional fable, characters are usually one-sided. How might Bruno and Gretel be considered one-dimensional?
Bruno and Gretel are one dimensional because the story isn't told by them but is told by the narrator.
3)What shocking discovery do Gretel and Bruno observe as they look out the window? What is the reaction of each character?
Gretel and Bruno are shocked when they see everybody else outside of their house with the same striped pajamas he has on. Everyone is shocked by this.
4)What was the title of your fable read and the moral lesson about humanity learned from it?
My Fable is the boy who cried wolf. The moral of the story is to never lie about being in trouble because when you really need help people wont believe you.
5)Literary Device Focus: What is foreshadowing? Give an example of foreshadowing found on page 28.
Their is an example of foreshadowing on page 28 when Gretel prayed before she looked out the window nervously.
1. Bruno and Gretel are siblings: brother and sister. Bruno is nine years old and seems younger because of his height.
ReplyDelete2. Bruno is one-dimensional because he always asking questions, and Gretel is one-dimensional because she is always annoyed by Bruno.
3. They see people in these striped pajamas. They were shocked.
4. The fable is the Bat and the Weasels. The moral is it is wise to turn circumstances to good account.
5. Foreshadowing is to show or indicate beforehand. When Bruno smiled and walked toward the door, indicating that Gretel should follow him.
1) Bruno and Gretel are brother and sister. Bruno is nine years old but he's very small for his age. Gretel lets Bruno know that whenever she's around she's in vharge.
ReplyDelete2) Bruno and Gretel could be considered one-dimensional because they only have one side of their feelings. They only see the bad part of being at their new home. They don't have many feelings to make them complex.
3) What Bruno and Gretel found out of Bruno's window was a barbed wire fence as tall as their house with men, grandpas, and young boys behind it. All were wearing the same thing and soilderes were appearing to be yelling orders at them. Gretel tried to put logic to it by saying they were at the country-side. Bruno knew better by showing how if they were in the countryside their would be green grass, animals, and food instead of dirt and people who look like they have been crying.
4)We didn't read a fable.
5)Forshadowing is when a hint of what's coming in the future. The forshadowing found on page 28 was the observation Bruno made. He noticed that everybody was wearing the exact same outfit. Which was grey and white striped pajamas and a matching hat.
1. The relationship between Bruno and Gretel is not a very good one. He call her "The hopless case" because all she does is cause trouble. Bruno may seem younger because of how short he is, and Gretels girl friends tease him about that, calling him six instead of nine.
ReplyDelete2. Gretel is not all that bad, and the reason why her and Bruno get into it alot is because they don't understand eachother because of the different age and different sex.
3. The shocking discovery is finding huts about 50 miles away from the house "out-wit". They also see alot of people all ages in striped pajamas. Bruno seems like a freaky calm type person when explaining to Gretel what he see's them, and Gretel is curious to know who he is talking about getting a little scared and when she see's them she has a surprised look on her face.
4. The Eagle and the Jackdaw: moral lesson: Do not let your vanity make you overestimate your powers.
5. Forshadowing is like a hint on what is going to happen ahead of time. An example from page 28 is when the narrator describes the way Bruno is looking at the childern outside, it makes Gretel feel uneasy, she prays and feels as if she does not need to look outside at those childern. The hint was that these childern did not appear as normal childern but more like animals or dirty nasty looking kids...more like slaves.
1.Discuss the relationship between Bruno and Gretel. How old is Bruno and why does he seem younger? They are brother and sister.he is 9 and he seem younger because he thinks younger.
ReplyDelete2.In a traditional fable, characters are usually one-sided. How might Bruno and Gretel be considered one-dimensional? they are one dimensional because they dont really have mix emontion.

4.What was the title of your fable read and the moral lesson about humanity learned from it? i read animals farm and the moral is to not listing to a person who doing wrong
5.Literary Device Focus: What is foreshadowing? Give an example of foreshadowing found on page 28. Foreshadowing is the development of a plot and a example of foreshadowing when Gretel said but what other children?.
1. Bruno and Gretel are brother and sister unfortunately. Bruno is nine years old and he seems younger because he has been pushed around by Gretel and he is shorter than Gretel.
ReplyDelete2. They can be considered as one-sided because during these chapters they only feel one way towards one another......annoyed.
3. Bruno and Gretel saw a huge fence topped with barbed wire, they couldnt see the end of the fence, with people in them that was filthy.
4. Animal farm is a fable, its moral states that "to avoid one evil one should take care not to fall into another", That is particular saying dont abuse your power, or let other abuse their power.
5. Forshadowing is more of a way to show an upcoming or uprising of an event or climax. An example is when Gretel was particularly nervous due to the point that she had to pray, before looking out the window.
Illuminator:Chapter 1
ReplyDelete- One of the most important moments is when Bruno came home from school,and Maria was packing up all of his family's things because they were moving from Berlin.
- Another one of the most important moments is when Bruno's mother was telling him about the new house they were going to and Bruno's reaction to it.
Summarizer:Chapter 2
When Bruno saw their new house, he was shocked because it was the exact opposite of their old house. He was shocked because it was nothing like their old house. The new house had three floors: a top floor where all the bedrooms were located and one bathroom, a ground floor with a kitchen, a dining room and the office were located, and a basement where the servants slept. There were no other streets around the new house, no one walking or running around somewhere, and most definitely no shops or fruit and vegetable stalls. Bruno felt like he was in the middle of nowhere. He also felt that he was stuck in a cold, nasty house with three quiet servants and a waiter who was both unhappy and angry. Bruno really didnt want to stay at the new house, but was told that he had to because of his father's job.

2.In a traditional fable, characters are usually one-sided. How might Bruno and Gretel be considered one-dimensional?
ReplyDeleteBruno and Gretel can be considered one-dimensional because we don't really know much about their character. Like they can be considered as a flat character because we know little about them.
3. Foreshadowing- a hint or clue of what is going to happen. When Bruno and Gretel were looking out the window, Gretel suspected that Bruno wanted to go over there and see what those children were doing by the way he was watching them.

Delete1. The relationship between Bruno and Gretel is bitter. They always fight and argue. Bruno is 9 years old. Bruno seems younger beause of his hieght compared to other people.
ReplyDelete1. The relationship between Bruno and Gretel is she is Bruno's older sisterand also dosen't like the out-with.Bruno is nine years old but, Gretel's friends say he is six because of his lack of tallness. His friends were even taller than him.
ReplyDelete2. Bruno and Gretel is considered one-dimensional because they are flat, meaning they do not change through the story.
3. The shocking discovery that Bruno and Gretel are looking at are the people on the other side of the barb wired fence, wearing striped pajamas working. The reaction from the window made them suprised, shocked and curious.

The relationship between Bruno and Gretel is ok, the reason that I say ok is because Gretel made sure that Bruno knew that she was 3 years older than him and Bruno never admitted this but he was a little scared of his older sister. Bruno is 9 years old but it seems that he is younger because he is very small.

ReplyDelete1. Bruno and Gretel seem kind of distant because in chapter 1 when Maria was packing Bruno's things he thought that he was being sent away. Then he thought that it wouldn't be such a bad thing because, to Bruno, Gretel is a hopeless case and it seems unfair that they all had to go with her. Bruno seems younger becuase Gretel said that he was kind of small for his age, and that the other nine year olds are bigger than him.
2. At the beginning of the story, they move to Out-With, all Bruno is focused on is going back to Berlin. With Gretel, she is just to deal with it until it all blows over.
3. When Gretel and Bruno look out that window, they see all of these people who are dressed the same, and live in these huts and everything. Gretel thinks at first that Out-With is a countryside, but then she says that country sides have animals and plants. Then Bruno sees that there are no plants and animals so it couldn't be a countryside.
4. I read the lion and the mouse. The moral of that story was, even if you are big or small you can still help someone.
5. Forshadowing is when you think something is going to happen before it happens. An example of forshadowing is on page 28 when Gretel was wondering who the other children were, Bruno said that they're out there.
