She is also doing this to get the attention of Lieutenant Kotler because she is infatuated with him. In the movie , there is also a poster with a girl holding a flag with a swastika on it in her hand, The girl looked alot like Gretel herself. I was wondering if maybe it WAS Gretel or if not, who was it. Sunday, March 20, What happens to Gretel when she is taught about her "history"? When Bruno and Gretel receive home tutor from Herr Liszt, he teaches them about "their history".
This refers to the history of German. She was standing She was twisting her hands together nervously as if there was something she did not want to have to say or something she did not want to have to believe 4.
He does not want to leave because he does not want to say goodbye to his friends Karl, Daniel and Martin. Bruno will also miss the wooden sliding banister in his house because it is real fun to slide down 6. The house was enormous, and even though Bruno had lived in there for nine years he was still able to find nooks and crannies that he had not fully finished exploring yet 2.
It was located in the middle of nowhere. The boy thinks that his father should think twice about his job if it makes him move away from his friends and his house with the sliding banister 4.
He looked very serious with his cap secured tightly on his head. His hair was very blonde and almost unnatural shade of yellow. She is blonde and very bossy and has always shown she is in charge. She had some nasty habits, as was to be expected from sisters she spent far too long in the bathroom in the morning and did not seem to mind if Bruno was left outside desperate to go in. She had a large collection of dolls in her room and some unpleasant friends who would tease Bruno 2.
The girl looks down on her brother but Bruno is used to this fact 3. She thinks this is the countryside, where all the farmers are and the animals, and where all the food is grown to feed people in the big cities like Berlin.
This is what she has learnt at school in the Geography class. She also guesses this could be their holiday home 3. Some stood perfectly still in groups, their hands by their sides, trying to keep their heads up, as soldiers marched in front of them their mouths opening and closing quickly as if they were shouting something at them.
Some other men pushed wheelbarrows from one place to another sometimes disappearing behind the hut. Others stood near the huts staring at the ground. Some were in. Some others carried spades and were led by groups of soldiers somewhere Bruno and Gretel could not see. There were hundreds of people and very many huts and the camp spread out so much further than they could possibly see. She was not happy, when leaving their house she shook her head and said that they should not have let the Fury go to dinner.
These words were not understood by Bruno but he saw she was crying 2. He is busy with his work in the camp and does not meet his family for days since they arrived at their new house.
Although he is not the type of man who would give anyone a hug, he is kind to Bruno and talks to him rather patiently explaining him why they cannot go back to Berlin. When talking about the people Bruno can see from his window father says they are not people.
Bruno wants to convince his father that life is better in Belin and that they should go back 4. The real thing is they are living in a concentration camp, his father has been appointed by Adolf Hitler, the Fuhrer, as the one in charge. He does not like the place at all. Bruno is bored to death and completely unhappy 2. She just did her job and did not express herself. She is aware she is only a servant and her opinion does not count.
She is a thankful, respectful woman. He does not show much respect because his father has disappointed him, he feels his father has done wrong and should be called stupid. Explain this statement Bruno considers Maria a human being with feelings just like his. Gretel considers she is just the maid so she is there to serve her. Bruno tells Gretel that Maria is not there to do the thing they can do by themselves.
However, Gretel thinks he is mad and treats the maid rudely 5. Bruno wants to express his opinions freely. He does not like the life in the camp and thinks of everybody around as human beings. He is much what we expect from a Nazi commandant: strict, cold, businesslike and powerful. He was often seen walking up and down the street at all hours of the day or night having terrible arguments with himself.
Sometimes in the middle of these arguments, the dispute would get out of hand and he would try to punch the shadow he was throwing up against the wall. From time to time he fought so hard that he banged his fists against brickwork and they bled and then he would fall onto his knees and start crying loudly and slapping his hands against his head.
Sometimes he would use foul language. He would also invite a cat to tea 2. He uses some rope and a tyre to make a swing 3. The boy is not entirely sure of the reason why but he knows he does not like Lieutenant Kotler. There was an atmosphere around him that made Bruno feel cold.
He began to think more about the reason for the fence and decided to ask Gretel about it. She had replaced her dolls with maps of Europe. She moved pins around the maps each day after reading the newspaper. Bruno knocked on her door and said he wanted to ask her something about Out-With.
Gretel complained that Bruno kept pronouncing the name wrong but let him ask his question. Gretel suddenly broke off their conversation with a scream. Bruno had lice, too, and his parents had to shave his hair off. Mother complained that she knew something like this would happen at Out-With. In a previous conversation, the boys had discussed chocolate.
At first she suggests Auschwitz is some sort of farm, but when Bruno points out this can't be no animals or crops, after all , she concedes he's probably right. Instead of considering a darker explanation, though, she readily agrees with her brother's assessment that perhaps they're all rehearsing for some sort of performance as soldiers scream at children in the camp.
And then she leaves to go play with her dolls. Gretel's had enough sibling bonding for one day, thank you very much. Gretel's interests mature from dolls to geography, and she starts learning about the war. Frustratingly, though—for us and forBruno—she keeps much of what she learns to herself.
Classic older sister move, right? Instead of using her newfound knowledge to enlighten Bruno, Gretel uses it to elevate her own standing, to separate herself from her pesky kid brother.
For instance, she explains to Bruno that, "The fence isn't there to stop us from going over there.
