Chapter 4 What They Saw Through The Window

1) (pg 31) How does the author continue to use juxtaposition in regards to the two housing situations? (the Jews and Bruno's family)
Where they lived there was a beautiful garden with green trees and a nice bench in the sun. Next to this was a huge ugly wire fence that ran along the length of their house and turned in at the top. It was held up by like telegraph like poles and the huts are only one story which surprise both Bruno and Gretel. 
2)What is it about the children that makes it difficult to understand exactly what they see through the 
window and just how bad it is?
That they are all living in such an horrible place and they are all dressed in blue and white pyjama's. 
3) Summarise how Gretel describes what she sees.
Gretel sees these little huts that are only one story, she thinks they are little modern houses in the countryside. She then said to Bruno ''I think this is our holiday home.''
4) What does Gretel attempt to do when she sees the Concentration Camp? How does she attempt to understand what she sees?
She thinks it's the countryside with little modern houses. 
5) Is her attempt successful? Does she convince Bruno that she understands? What does she eventually give in to? What does she say/or not say? (pg 32)
No she doesn't convince Bruno as in the book Bruno states ''I don't think so, if it is a farm where are all the animals.''
6) What can't the children do when they see the Concentration Camp that the adults seem to be able to do? Which group can understand what they see? Why do you think that this is the case?

The children can't make sense and don't understand what is going on and are curious about it. The adults know what is happening and don't really think about the situation. This is the case because the children can see the other people wearing striped pyjama's and can see the barbed wire fence all of these things makes them curious and they want to find out answers. 
7) How does the author use understatement through the children's description of the Concentration Camp?
The author doesn't focus on the description of the children but how curious they are and what they are thinking. This is shown when they describe the camp and then very quickly get into the description of the children's opinion. Gretel thinks it is a holiday house which Bruno convinces to her that it isn't. In the end they have no idea what it really is.
