Chapter 4

1- The author uses juxtaposition when he compares the wonderful garden outside of their house to the concentration camp
2- The thing that makes it difficult for Gretel and Bruno to understand what is outside the house is that they are confused. Gretel and Bruno don't actually know where they are and they come up with the craziest ideas because of there wide imagination because they are kids
3- She thinks that they are on the country side and the people they see are farmers
4- When she saw the concentration camp she narrowed her eyes and forced her brain to understand. But the thing was that even her brain didn't know what she was looking at. then she tried to prove her point but it didn't really work
5- Her attempt is unsuccessful and she doesn't convince Bruno one bit. She eventually gives in saying that it is not the country side and she decides that she doesn't want to go because of the clothes that the Jews wear and the condition they live in
6- The difference between what the children think and the adults think is that the adults know and understand what's going on while the children have no clue on anything that is happening beneath their eyes. The one thing that the children know is that they should stay clear of what ever was out their. This is the case because of what the Jews are wearing and what they are doing. Also the big fence around the camp suggests a no-go zone and should be stayed clear of
7- The children see it as a place where people live and enjoy themselves when it is actually a huge concentration camp where people are mistreated
