Chapter one Questions boy in the striped Pyjamas

    • Bruno's voice is demanding and controlling like his father but he tries to always be polite and respect everyone like his mother tells him. "‘What are you doing?’ he asked in as polite a tone as he could muster, for although he wasn’t happy to come home and find someone going through his possessions". The quote Indicates that Bruno tries to be polite to people.
    •  1st: Brunohe is a small, German boy whose family is very rich and his farther is a Nazi. He always wants to know whatever bothers him and he likes to keep the things that are close to him hidden and private.  2nd: Maria she is one of the maids who takes care of the house. She is a nice and kind women who isn't always given the respect she deserves by Bruno.  3rd: Bruno's  mother. She is a tall women with long red hair who has a kind and caring personality but doesn't like people to be rude to her.  Also Lars and Brunos father are mentioned but not really introduced.
    •  The victims in this chapter are Bruno and the mother who do not have any power in the family because the father is a high ranking Nazi officer and so they have to follow him when he get's transferred.
    •  Dramatic irony is used in this chapter as we know more than Bruno does about his father and where they will probably going. This gives us a bit more information on how much Bruno is in the dark about his fathers job and where are they going.
    • The setting is presented as the house is described through the banister as it goes throughout the whole house. Bruno likes to slide down the banister through all the floors which are described as if you were sliding down the banister.
