When Bruno first sees his new home at "Out-With," he is astonished and depressed by the fact that it is the complete opposite of his comfortable, warm home in Berlin. The new house at Out-With is in a desolate, empty place with no neighboring homes or lovely town streets. Bruno feels that he is in the loneliest place on earth in the middle of nowhere. He also feels like there is no laughter or warmth in his new home.
In contrast to his enormous, spacious home in Berlin, the new house at Out-With is relatively boring, cold, and mundane. There are no nooks or small rooms to explore, and there is no large banister to slide down like there was at his home in Berlin. However, there is a mysterious camp encircled by a high fence, which Bruno can see from his back window. Bruno is too young and naive to realize that his home is just outside of a horrific Nazi concentration camp, which explains its desolate location and depressing atmosphere.
Overall, Bruno hates his new home and desires to move back to Berlin immediately. He finds his new home to be boring, cold, and uncomfortable. As the story progresses, Bruno becomes close friends with a Jewish prisoner named Shmuel and seems to adjust to life at Out-With.
