Were there any weaknesses in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas?

Oh yes. I have read this book. The questiosn ask things like this "When Bruno was at the fence the day berfore he left 'Out-With' he remembered when his grandmother told him that when you put on a costume for a show that you become that person. How does this relate to what Bruno does-putting on the uniform and crossing the fence? There is several and i will include another for you: "A pun is most often seen as hunmorous. But in this novel, the narrorater uses dark, solemn puns like "Out-With" and "Fury" to convey certain meanings. Bruno is simply mispronouncing the real words. But the author is clearly asking the reader to consider a double meaning to these words. Dicuss the use of word play as a literay device. What si the narrorator trying to convey to the reader? How do these puns further communicate to the horror of the situation? Answer-(NOTE_THAT THE 2nd WQUESTION WAS TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM 'the boy in striped pyjamas') The horror of the mispronounceed words shows and diplays the horror. Aushwitz could really be like 'out-with' because people were dead as a result of being there. It aslo meant of death. It meant that the population of the Jewish people was trying to be destoryed or taken "out with" like rubbish almost. It communicates to the horror since that it was worse then that and that this book was mild compared to my favourite holocaust book NIGHT by ELIE WIESEL. These puns show that the authorites there clearly had a 'fury'. There were a total of 8 questions after the stroy was over. Also a bit of something interesting...that this book is soon to be a movie(Febuary,i think). The other Qs discuss matters like Gretel and Bruno, about Gretel, Bruno leaving Berlin, and Out-With making Bruno feel "cold and unsafe". Based on THE BOY IN STRIPED PYJAMAS by JOHN BOYNE.

Is Shmuel is as naive as Bruno?

The fact that they have at all no clue what is going on around them.
And how dangerous it is to even know each other in this time.
