Chapter 11: The Fury

(118) What does the mother's obsession with her 'list' represent? What does the list distract her from? What do you think about meeting Adolf Hitler?
It represents the importants of the dinner. The list distracts her from the kids. I think that the meeting with Hitler is of a very high importants.

(120) What is ironic when the father says 'The last thing we need is for either of you to start behaving like children.'?
It is ironic as they are children and they should behave like children and not like adults.
(121) How is juxtaposition used in the introduction of 'The Fury'?
The height differnece between Hitler and his wife. Eva is more a stereotypical German when compared to Hitler.
(122) How is the 'Fury's' behavior juxtaposed with everyone else'?
Every else is either cheerful or nervous but Hitler seems very cranky and sounds like he doesn't really want to be there.
(123) Is this a stereotypical representation of Hitler? Why/why not?
It is a stereotypical representation of Hitler he is very commanding and rude to people who are lesser than him. He has an air of confidence and authority.
(124) We are given a very abbreviated discussion between the mother and father. What are they talking about? What are their views on the topic? What effect does showing the parents conversation in this manner rather than the whole conversation?
They are talking about having to leave Berlin. They are obviously arguring as they have different views. The effect is that it leaves you guessing to what exactly hapened in the dinner with Hitler. It also is from Bruno's perspective so you get a feel to his innocence how he doesn't understand what going on.
