  1. Ch. 8: Why Grandma Stormed Out Pg. 86 - 102

  2. Pg. 87 Bruno always knew when a family party was getting into full swing because Grandmother would hover by the piano until someone sat down at it and asked her to sing. ‘What’s that?’ she always cried, holding a hand to her chest as if the very idea took her breath away. ‘Is it a song you’re wanting? Why, I couldn’t possibly. I’m afraid, young man, my singing days are far behind me.’

  3. Pg. 87 ‘Sing! Sing!’ everyone at the party would cry, and after a suitable pause – sometimes as long as ten or twelve seconds – she would finally give in and turn to the young man at the piano and say in a quick and humorous voice: ‘La Vie en Rose, E-flat minor. And try to keep up with the changes.’

  4. What does this passage tell you about Grandma? Evidence: “hover by the piano” “…in quick and humorous voice: ‘La Vie en Rose, E-flat minor. And try to keep up with the changes.”

  5. Pg. 87 Parties…were always dominated by Grandmother’s singing, which for some reason always seemed to coincide with the moment when Mother moved from the main party area to the kitchen, followed by some of her own friends. Why do you think this is so?

  6. Ch. 9: Bruno Remembers That He Used to Enjoy Exploration Pg. 95 - 102

  7. Pg. 96 - 97 Herr Liszt was a mystery to Bruno. Although he was friendly enough most of the time, never raising his hand to him like his old teacher in Berlin had done, something in his eyes made Bruno feel there was an anger inside him just waiting to get out. Why do you think Herr Liszt was so angry?

  8. Pg. 100 And were they really so different? All the people in the camp wore the same clothes…; and all the people who wandered through his house…wore uniforms… What exactly was the difference? He wondered to himself. And who decided which people wore the striped pyjamas and which people wore the uniforms? Why did John Boyne include this?

  9. Pg. 102 It was only a small bronze plaque and Bruno read it quietly to himself. ‘Presented on the occasion of the opening of…’ He hesitated. ‘Out-With Camp,’ he continued, stumbling over the name as usual. ‘June nineteen forty.’ What reaction do you get from reading the description of the plaque? How does the author achieve this?

  10. Ch. 10: The Dot That Became a Speck That Became a Blob That Became a Figure That Became a Boy Pg. 104 - 115
