The Boy in the Striped PJ's - Chapter 2

• Using quotes, how is the new house described?

The new house is described as a very boring and in a desolate place. Bruno describes it as "The new house stood all on its own in an empty, desolate place and there were no other houses anywhere to be seen."

• How does it compare to the house in Berlin? How is this an example of juxtaposition?

This new house is a very boring house that stands on its own with no other families around. Bruno says "The house in Berlin was enormous, and even though he'd lived there for nine years he was still able to find nooks and crannies that he hadn't fully finished exploring yet.
We are forced to compare the two houses using juxtaposition. through comparison and contrast we are able to see the difference between the new and the old.

• How is Bruno's reaction and discussion of the new house taken by the other characters? What is ironic about the way people treat Bruno's comments regarding the new house?

Brunos cold reaction to the house is taken as that he is just being. it is ironic because everyone feel the same about the situation but bruno is the only one that says it 

• Do you feel empathetic towards Bruno's new home? Why/why not?

Yes and No

Yes because he is just a young boy and is very innocent and he does not know what is going on and doest know about the Jews and whats happening to them. and its not his fault that he is stuck at that house and doesn't know about the jews
