Bruno's Mother - Bruno's Mother seems like a woman that tries to do whats best for her kids and doesn't want them knowing anything about what Bruno's Father does. - "said mother, for she was a great believer in not playing favorites"
Bruno's Father - We're not told much about Bruno's Father but from what we ARE told is that he seems a bit mysterious and is doing a job that shouldn't be told to kids.
Gretel - We're not told much about Gretel either but from Bruno's thoughts, she also seems like she gets into trouble. - "if gretel was being sent away because she was a hopeless case"
Who are presented as victims in this chapter and what are they victims of? Do you think that it is
fair to consider them victims?
I think Bruno is a victim in this chapter because he was surprised with moving house, isn't being told what his father does as a job and has to abandon his friends. I don't think its fair to consider him as a victim because he means well and should of been told about the move advance to find Maria packing his stuff.
Irony is an important element of the story. How is it used here in the first chapter? Give examples to support your answer.
How is the setting presented in this chapter?The setting in this chapter is quiet, suspenseful, nervous and worrying. we get Bruno's thoughts about how he doesn't want to move, but he also does want to, and his mother's movements and how they describe her movements.
