Chapter 6

1. 
   On pg 60 Bruno reveals a radical shift in his perspective and understanding of Maria. What is this radical shift? What does this show is developing in Bruno?
   It shows that Bruno is becoming empathetic, and this radical shift is that he realizes that Maria is just like him, she is no different to him but she is the same.
   
2. Compare how Bruno and Gretel treat Maria.
   Bruno is very kind to Maria, and Gretel is being extremely rude and snappy ordering her around like she is a slave and not a person who has feelings.
   
3. (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?
    'Just keep quite about it, Bruno. Don't you know how much trouble you could cause' is the advice she gives Bruno. She is trying to keep Bruno advice but what is ironic is that she is the maid, and she is giving him advice instead of vice versa. She is practically telling Bruno that if he keeps quiet than he will be safe.
   
   
4. (65-6) What is Bruno's reaction to his new thoughts/feelings? Why do you think that he reacts this way?
   
   He is suprised at the feeling. He felt as if he was going to cry, he caught Marias eye and got the impression that she was going to cry too. He reacted in this way as he didn't feel like he needed to cry but his emotions were taking over.
