The Boy In The Striped Pajamas Analysis Questions

Bruno moved with his family to a new home out in the country. What Bruno's father didn't detail so much was why he moved out to the country side. It was closer to his work, but what he did was not specified to his family, the act of killing Jewish people in a concentration camp. He did not want to tell them because he did not want his wife or children to think wrong/get mad at him. Bruno was taught that Jewish people were evil. When Bruno fell off the swing and the old man helped him, this event was significant to the way Bruno's mother thought of Jews because it showed that they were not evil people. Bruno's father turned into a strict and militarized-like person because of what his job required him to do. Bruno became a more opposite-like person at the end of the story compared to his Dad. I think that most of Bruno's actions were wrong for him, but right in the eyes of our society. Being friends with a Jew in his time(Bruno being German), Bruno was a very loyal friend at the end of the story.
