1) On pg 60 Bruno reveals a radical shift in his perspective and understanding of Maria. What is this radical shift?
Bruno finds out who Maria really is and that she has thoughts and feeling. Also when she was young Bruno's father took care of her like she was part of his family. Bruno starts to figure she is a normal and real person.
2) What does this show is developing in Bruno?
Bruno treats Maria with more respect and he shows understanding, Gretel does not do this and isn't as mature he her younger brother.
3) Compare how Bruno and Gretel treat Maria.(pg 65) What is Maria's advice to Bruno about 'keeping safe'? Why do you think that she gives this advice? Do you think that it is good or bad advice?
Bruno now treats Maria with respect and doesn't give her orders. Gretel gives her jobs and tells her to clean up after her. She tells Bruno to stop complaining, obey his father and she does this because she knows how his father will react if he doesn't follow these instructions. I think this is good advice as Bruno wouldn't want to make his father angry thus upsetting the whole family.
4) (65-6) What is Bruno's reaction to his new thoughts/feelings? Why do you think that he reacts this way?
He is angry because of how he used to treat Maria and now how Gretel still treats Maria. He reacts this way as Maria is nice to him always giving her advice and doesn't like to see her be bossed around and disrespected.
