2. Bruno was taught to think of the Jews in a certain way. What was Bruno taught about Jews?

3. When Bruno fell from the swing a Jewish man helped him. Why was this event significant to Bruno's mother's thinking of Jewish people?
- This event was significant because this was when Bruno's mother actually seen how Jewish people are not evil. The man cared for Bruno and helped him which opened light to the mother's eyes.
4. Bruno's father evolved and tranformed from a loving father to what? Why?
- Bruno's father changed from a caring dad to a man all about his job. His actions to be closer to the camps lead to the domino effect of Bruno being carious sneaking in the back.
5. Bruno evolved and transformed as well. What kind of boy was he at first, and what did he transform to?
- At the begining of the movie Bruno was a young inocent boy who was taught that Jews were evil. However once he met his new friend Shmul he seen a whole new side. I believe that he died doing a good deep which was helping Shmul find his father. Although the mission was unaccomplished I feel that after Bruno crossed that gate, he seen the truth.
