Bruno's Voice, introduction of characters, and victims

• Describe Bruno's voice. Give examples to support.

Bruno's voice is a voice that is soft and innocent he also speaks in a very polite educated way this is because when he does not do what his parents say he gets into a lot of trouble an example of this is 'Say goodbye to Karl and Daniel and Martin?' he continued, his voice coming dangerously close to shouting, which was not allowed indoors. 'But they're my three best friends for life!'

• What characters are introduced? Describe each and give examples to support.

Bruno he is a small boy that comes from a very wealthy family he is well educated and very polite 'Mother,' said Bruno, marching towards her, 'what's going on? Why is Maria going through my things?'Mother she is the mother and says all is equal but actually likes Bruno more than his sister'He would miss you both equally,' said Mother, for she was a great believer in not play-ing favourites, which Bruno respected, especially since he knew that he was her favourite really."

• Who are presented as victims in this chapter and what are the victims of? Do you think that it is fair to consider them victims?

Bruno and the mother are represented in this chapter as the victims in this chapter they are the victims of the allies bombs and shells I believe that it is fair to consider them as victims as Bruno is just a young boy and him and his mother have not done any harm to anyone. Also a lot of books and movie's are very one sided about the holocuast because not all Germans believed that killing Jews and doing the terrible thing that happened the right thing to be doing.

• Irony is an important element of the story. How is it used here in the first chapter? Give examples to support your answer.

Irony is used in the first chapter as the Bruno and mother are the victims but the father is a Nazi high person and causing so much pain and anguish. but we are meant to feel sorry for someone that is very well of financially. 

• How is the setting presented in this chapter?

The setting in this chapter is of a wealthy family with a high ranking German official as the father and living in a large expensive house in the wealthy part of Berlin during the war time.
