The Fury

One day, Bruno is looking out the window and asks his mother if he could “play with the children on the farm.” This is where the audience learns Bruno’s Harmartia, or tragic flaw, of his age. Children at Bruno’s age are innocent, kind, curious, and are often hidden from the evils of the world. Unknowingly, he moves close to a concentration camp, but due to his innocence, he believes the prison is a farm. He describes the “farmers” as looking “strange”

“Hello,” said Bruno “Hello,” said the Boy.)At this point of the book Bruno had crossed the line with his exploration, he had went much further his father and mother would ever approve, he comes face to face with an Auschwitz prisoner although he doesn’t know it yet as Bruno thinks it’s a good place to be in. This is the one point in the book that there’s a relief for Bruno,

Bruno used to live in Berlin in a five story mansion with his three best friends for life; Karl, Daniel and Martin. Bruno’s mateship with his friends is demonstrated at the beginning of the book when he Constantly complains that he must move away from his three best friends for life. “‘Say goodbye to Karl and Daniel and Martin?’... ‘But they’re my three best friends for life!’” pg 7. During the Duration of the book the protagonist latches onto a different, obscure but deeper friendship with another character, through this he realises that Karl,Daniel,and Martin aren’t his best friends after all. “When he thought back he could remember that Karl and Martin were two of his three best friends for life, but try as he might he couldn’t remember who the other one was.” pg 176. Throughout the novel bruno creates an innovative relationship with family member and members of the household, in particular he meets Pavel, the potato peeler. Bruno also improves his love hate relationship with Gretel his sister as well as creating a overwhelming connection with the Family maid Maria.

Bruno is walking around his land and sees Shmuel; talks to Shmuel and gets asked to help find

As they move into their new house, that has wire fence surrounding their property, Bruno has a feeling that something is up and feels unsafe. He looks out his room window and sees many kids and adults all wearing the same striped outfit on the other side of the fence. Without knowing his family moves into a residence near the concentration camp, Auschwitz.

Bruno and his family move to a different house near Auschwitz, a concentration camp in Poland. Bruno mishears it and calls it "out with". Bruno was very upset about moving and wanted to go home. When he went into his room he could see a what he thought was a farm out of the window. His mother told him that he couldn't explore out the back garden but one day he didn't listen and went round there.

The mood throughout the story is very often negatively influenced by the setting of a concentration camp. The house in which Bruno and his family live at Auschwitz is small and lonely. “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

Bruno learns lots of important things when he first move to Out-With, a very big one was Change. Change is to become or make different, in this case change is about Bruno and his family altering their life and moving to a smaller house and fixing their customs with the circumstances they were under. In the book change does some good and bad to the family, change helped Gretel and Bruno with their relationship, it also gave Bruno a new friend called Shmuel. It’s bad because Bruno learns the hard truth of concentration camps, his mother kind of grew depressed and would drink medicinal sherries. “It’s that we have to make the best out of a bad situation.’” (Boyne, 14) This is what mother told Bruno after arriving at Out-With. She explained to

We are shown one of many examples of Bruno's innocence, or childhood innocence in general, when he is completely unaware that Pavel and the Jews had lives before working on the "farm". This ignorance is perpetuated by his parents but most of all his father, who want to keep him ignorant of what is truly happening on the "farm". I think that Bruno can be used as a symbol to represent the entire German population in several ways. For the most both him and the German citizens were kept in the dark of what was being done to the Jews. Both Bruno and German citizens would be told that Jews aren't really people. Both Bruno and the German citizens for the most part just want to go about their daily lives. Bruno is shown to be very free-spirited and that he can think for himself, which ultimately leads him to learning the truth, even if he can't put all the pieces together. He comes to befriend both Pavel and a boy named, Shmuel. Through these first hand experience with Jews, he comes to realize that they are not what his father or his tutor make him believe they are.

Bruno’s presence, he is aware of the situation he is in and danger the camp

Throughout the novel, Bruno misinterprets what is going on in the world and this family. One of the

The “camp” that the Jewish prisoners were held in was right behind Bruno's house in which he could see very distinctively and was quite large or so described to be The “camp” appeared to be semi far away, there is a small forest separating the house and the “camp”, also Bruno was not able to see the “camp” that well from his window and when he went there it did not appear as large as it was described in the book Bruno is not very understanding in the book, not realizing what the “camp” actually was, and what his father's job truly was Bruno was still very naive in the movie after seeing the fake “movie” about how the camp was a fun loving place, and not a tortue place. All Bruno’s suspicions were taken away Bruno’s Father in the book is a rough,

Also, Bruno probably wouldn’t have been inside of a concentration camp if they hadn’t moved near one. This change really contributed to the story and it wouldn’t be what it is without the new setting. Bruno, the main character, has changed his perspective of how he views his new home. At the beginning of the story, he disliked it a lot and missed his friends and grandparents. Near the end of the story, he forget his friends names and made a new friend.

A major change for Bruno was when they moved from Berlin to Auschwitz. Bruno was outgoing, adventurous and had many friends. After they moved, he became lonely, sad and a little resentful to his parents. He and Gretel were home schooled and he wasn’t allow to go outside anymore. He had no idea of what was going on in the concentration camp or his surrounding and didn’t understand why he couldn’t play with the kids he saw in the camp. After he met Shmuel things started to feel a little more normal for him but unaware that his life will end very soon.

Bruno, initially, has ignorance about everything going on in his life. For example, his dissatisfaction with leaving Berlin is demonstrated in many parts of the story. He is shown to the reader as being innocent, immature, and unable to give things a chance. On many occasions, Bruno complains about moving to “Out-With” (Auschwitz). He continually complains before even giving himself a chance to experience it. He was whining and being stubborn. To illustrate, in the novel, the author says, “Nothing, thought Bruno, not even the insects, would ever choose to stay at Out-With.
