There are several themes within the novel so far but there are only a few main themes. These themes include: the cruelty of the Germans to the Jews, the Holocaust experience,
What are the main techniques?
Juxtaposition, dramatic irony (also dark),
Think of 5 important questions for each of these two chapters about how important motifs and themes play a role in each chapter.
Chapter 11
- How does dramatic irony play an important role in this chapter (seen through the short phases towards the end of the chapter)
- What is the use of juxtaposition in this chapter between the mothers reaction and fathers reaction
- What is the use of juxtaposition between Gretels and Bruno's reaction to the 'Fury' and 'Her'
- What is the technique used between 'the Fury' and 'Her' manners and how they act
- What imagery is used in the describing of 'Her' (Eva)
Chapter 12
- How is Bruno's seen less innocent in this chapter
- What is an example of juxtaposition in the chapter and why is it used
- Why do you think Bruno sees past the facts in front of him (i.e. Shmuel catching the overcrowded train, how the guards treat Shmuel and his 'kind')
- Why do you think Shmuel was hesitant to asking the question 'do you have any food?'
- Do you think Bruno honestly feels that he is equal done wrong by as Shmuel
