Describe Bruno’s journey back to his foster family.
Answers
Explanation:
Bruno decides to speak to Father, who arrived at Out-With a few days earlier. Bruno remembers leaving their house in Berlin that morning - it hadn't looked like their home anymore, with all the furniture and decorations packed up. Before they left, Mother had said, "We should never have let the Fury come to dinner... Some people and their determination to get ahead" (40). Maria had overheard her and Mother had tried to backtrack, becoming embarrassed. Maria had been embarrassed, too, and had quickly gotten in the car.
After leaving their house in Berlin, Bruno and his family had arrived at the train station. On the other side of the train tracks from their train, there had been another train being boarded by crowds of people looking uncomfortable. It occured to Bruno that since the trains are going in the same direction, some of them might come on board his train, but he doesn't say anything.
Now, at Out-With, Bruno watches his Father standing in a circle of men outside his new home office. Bruno overhears them talking poorly of the former commandant. Father silences them and reminds them that they will have a new beginning tomorrow, with him as their leader. As they leave, they salute him and shout out "the two words that Bruno had been taught to say whenever anyone said it to him" (44). Bruno approaches Father's office cautiously, since he has been told it is Out Of Bounds At All Times And No Exceptions. He knocks and Father tells him to come in.
