Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

In "The boy in the striped pajamas" we are introduced to Bruno, a German boy who has to move from Berlin to live near the concentration camp at Auschwitz, where Bruno's father will take up a post. Although many people focus on the conflict faced by the Jews, in this book, one of the main conflicts addressed in the plot that is often overlooked is the internal conflict that Bruno experiences. That's because although he must accompany his father, Bruno is very unhappy with the new place where he lives. This unhappiness gradually changes as the friendship between Bruno and Shmeul is established. In this case, the conflict makes Bruno feel a certain affection and feel at ease in this place that he felt competently out of place.
