Answer:
Question 1: What is the meaning of Bruno's clothes?
Question 2: Why didn't Bruno's grandmother agree with his father's new position?
Explanation:
The two questions above are interpretive questions, as they require the student to reflect on the meanings of elements added to the story, which can often go unnoticed, but which contain very important information. In summary, the interpretative questions seek to discover how much the student understood about the work.
In the first question, it is necessary for the student to reflect on how much Bruno believes that his clothes are uncomfortable. This element is directly related to how Bruno feels about the family, the house and the life he is living, showing how he feels uncomfortable, displaced and anguished.
The second question requires the student to reflect on Bruno's grandmother's position on Nazism and on Bruno's father's involvement in this system.
"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" tells the story of how Bruno, the son of a Nazi officer, befriends a Jewish boy who is trapped in a concentration camp.
The answer is the third sentence ;)
These set of lines satirize the Victorians' tendency to place wealth above other factors in deciding whether a person was eligible for marriage:
- Lady Bracknell: That sounds not unsatisfactory. Three addresses always inspire confidence, even in tradesmen. .. ( Lady Bracknell is interested in learning about Cecily's background. She makes this comment after she has learnt that Cecily comes from well-known families).
- Jack: [Very irritably.] How extremely kind of you, Lady Bracknell! I have also in my possession, you will be pleased to hear, certificates of Miss Cardew's birth, baptism, whooping cough, registration, vaccination, confirmation, and the measles; both the German and the English variety. ( The fact that certificates are in German reflects that Cecily comes from a prestigious family).
- Mr. Worthing, I had better ask you if Miss Cardew has any little fortune? Jack: Oh! about a hundred and thirty thousand pounds in the Funds. ( Lady Bracknell asks a direct question. Once she has learnt about Cecily's family , she is interested in her economic situation).
- Lady Bracknell: [Sitting down again.] A moment, Mr. Worthing. A hundred and thirty thousand pounds! And in the Funds! Miss Cardew seems to me a most attractive young lady, now that I look at her.. ( The fact that Cecily has money makes Lady Bracknell see Cecily more attractive).
