Why are the boys surprised with each other’s names?

Where is Shmuel from:?

• Germany

• Poland

• Denmark

What language does Shmuel speak in that surprises Bruno?

• Russian

We know that Bruno is ignorant of what Auschwitz is by thinking that

• he and Shmuel are twins and can play together

• Shmuel is having a great time sitting by the fence

• Shmuel enjoys not having showers like he has to do

• he and Shmuel can go back to Berlin and live together

How do you know the war has had influence on Bruno?

• Bruno thinks that his father will be the successor of Hitler soon

• Bruno claims that Liszt is Hitler's brother-in-law

• Bruno says that Germans are superior and Germany is the greatest country on earth

• Bruno is sure that there is only German history and nothing else

Why do you think Shmuel knows more about Europe than Bruno?

• because Bruno's mom hates Liszt and refuse to let bruno learn too much about Europe

• because Shmuel loves to study history, whereas Bruno prefers geography

• because Shmuel is much smarter than Bruno

• because German kids were taught all about German history, and nothing else

Why is Bruno shown to complain about the busy streets of Berlin?

• Bruno's feelings about his hometown are so important for the narrative to work

• the author wants to show how sad the German school education was during WW2

• the author wants to show how naive, ignorant and immature Bruno is when considering the horrors of war and Auschwitz

• without Berlin Bruno's backstory would be weak and inconsistent with the war
