The boy in the striped pajamas

Why do you think father was so secretive about why the family moved?
-I think the father was secretive about why the family moved because he did not want his wife or children to back out of the moved. This was proven when the wife found out that Nazis were being burnt at the concentration camp and it was at a see-able/smellable distance from their home.
What was Bruno taught about Jews?
-Bruno was taught the Jews were bad and the reason the war began. This was proven when the tutor taught Bruno about "horrible" things Jews have done. A Jew helping Bruno when he fell off the swing was significant to his mother because it made her think Jews were not actually bad people and placing them in concentration camps, using them as slaves, etc. was mistreating them
 Bruno’s father evolved and transformed from a loving father to what? Why?
-Bruno's father evolved and transformed from a vicious soldier because he was more invovled in Nazi containment rather than his family. Bruno also transformed from a innocent boy to a caring developing person. He transformed from a innocent boy to a caring developing person. He transformed when he began communicating and creating a friendship with the boy in the concentration camp
What kind of boy was he at first, and what did he transform to?

Describe your feelings about Bruno’s actions.
-Bruno's actions to help the boy in the concentration camp resulted in his life because Bruno died at the end of the movie. The scene was intense because Bruno changed into striped pajamas and crawled under the fence and went into the concentration camp to help his friend find his father but during that process him and his friend got caught up into a group that was being transported to be posion and they was told they were "taking a shower."
