Chapter 10: The Dot That Became a...

(105) What does the progression of 'dot' to 'boy' tell us about the role of exploring and meeting the people in the camp? What does this represent about how other Germans view the Jews?
While exploring you should investigate something's and ignore other things . When you meet people you should ask some questions but leave others out. Also the progression of 'dot' to 'boy' is like when you meet someone, you don't really know anything about them but as you get to know them you can see the bigger picture. The Germans only see the 'dot' for the Jewish people while they should be trying to find the 'boy'.
(109) What effect does the boys both having the same birthday have?
It makes them feel more connected, as they have something else in common. It also makes it a juxtaposition of they boys separate lives.
(113-4) What do Bruno and Shmuel 'argue' about? What does Bruno decide to stop the argument?
They argue over the better place to live. Shmuel say's Poland and Bruno says Berlin. Bruno stops the arguement because he doesn't want to fight his new friend. He says "let's agree to disagree".
(115) What does Bruno's last question reveal to Shmuel? What do you think Shmuel thinks of Bruno because of asking this question? 
Bruno asks why there are so many people on that side of the fence which shows to Shmuel that Bruno is either innocent or ignorant. I also think Shmuel may feel happy for Bruno that he doesn't know of the horror but also shocked because of this.

Chapter 9: Bruno Remembers That He Used to Enjoy Exploration

(pg95-96) How is Lt Kotler portrayed? Why is he portrayed this way? (remember that 'how' is asking about literary techniques)
Lt Kotler is portrayed as a proud person. The quote "Lieutenant Kotler still strode around the house in his black boots as if there was no one in the whole world of any more importance than him" shows that he carries himself proudly and thinks very highly of himself.
What is Herr Liszt going to 'change' for Bruno? (98)
He is going to try and stop him from thinking about story books, but instead think of thinks that he himself thinks important like the history of the Fatherland.
(100) What connection does Bruno make between the people in the camp and the people that come and visit his house all the time?
They both wear uniforms and they are not that different. He can't even see the difference, he wonders why the people in the camp need their uniforms and the officers need their's and also who decides who wears what. 
What some of the things that Bruno begins to take notice of regarding the relationship between the soldiers and the people in 'pyjamas'?
The people in 'pyjamas' come to attention whenever the soldiers arrive. He also notices the Jews getting shot and killed even though he doesn't realise what it means. There is a big power imbalance.

Chapter 7: How Mother Took Credit for Something She Hadn't Done

• How is the mother's defence of Herr Roller entirely ironic?

Its ironic that Bruno's mother defends Herr Roller by saying that he was a lovely human being before he was inflicted with his current condition. It's ironic because she can defend a war veteran who suffered a lot in the war but she can't show this passion to the Jew's who are suffering even more then Herr Roller.

• What role does Kotler represent historically in the novel? (think beyond being a soldier)

Kotler represents the perfect German race. He has blue eyes and blonde hair like Hitler believes makes one perfect. He shows their lack of respect for Jews and that they blindly followed Hitler.

• What character is Kotler juxtaposed with in this chapter? What effect does it have on understanding each of these characters?

Kolter is juxtaposed with Pavel, and this highlights how the Jews were treated by the Germans - with no respect no matter their age. 

• How would you compare the interaction Bruno has with Pavel to all the other interactions Bruno has had with adults?

Pavel listens to Bruno while other adults don't. They can talk to each other while others would just stop him in the first place.

• Why is juxtaposition a key technique employed in Holocaust texts? How has it been used in The Boy in the Striped PJ's?

Because it's useful. It shows the difference between peoples lifestyles, their state of mind. Without it you would only know one side of the story. They compare Kolter to Pavel, Mother to Father, or even Bruno to Gretel. It is the most commonly used technique in the boy in striped pyjamas

Chapter 6 - The Overpaid Maid

• On pg 60 Bruno reveals a radical shift in his perspective and understanding of Maria. What is this radical shift? What does this show is developing in Bruno?

He realises that Maria had a life before she became his fathers maid, and that it wasn't that good. It show's how Bruno can now start to realise that people aren't the way they are for life and not everyone was as well off as him.

• Compare how Bruno and Gretel treat Maria.

Bruno and Gretel usually treat Maria the same way even though Bruno is a little bit more respectful. Now though, after hearing about Maria's past Bruno gets angry at Gretel even though she speaks the same way to Maria that she always had because he had gained true respect for her. Gretel treats her like a servant, Bruno treats her like a person

• (pg 65) What is Maria's advice to Bruno about 'keeping safe'? Why do you think that she gives this advice? Do you think that it is good or bad advice?

She tells Bruno not to say how he feels about the house out loud to keep them safe. She says this because if the "Fury" hears about it he might get angry with the family and Bruno could also be told what's really going on and lose his innocence. It is good advice.

• (65-6) What is Bruno's reaction to his new thoughts/feelings? Why do you think that he reacts this way?

Bruno's reaction to his new feelings is to cry, even though he doesn't know why. I believe that he reacts this way because he can't do what he wants.

Holocaust Poetry #2

Homeland
Lois E. Olena
It was Christmas eve
and there was no room in the inn,
the Oswiecim inn,
so the Arrow Cross
took the children,
barefooted
and in their nighties,
out to the Danube
and filled their little bellies
not with bread
but bullets
flipping them
like tiddlywinks
into the congealing, icy river below.

It was the Red Danube
that night,
choking on the blood
of orphan Jews
whose little Blue faces
floated downstream
touring even all of Europe
until they washed up
on the shores of Eretz Yisrael (Jewish homeland)
and came back to life,
their little blue and white
bodies
raised high,
flapping in the wind.
How is imagery used in this poem?
It's a nice Christmas day, there are children going to an inn and when they get there they are taken away, shot and thrown into the river. Then they are brought to life once they reach their homeland. The author turns a nice peaceful image into one of horror. It's showed the extremes that the Germans would go to to kill innocent Jews.
Discuss the effect of the simile in this poem.
The simile is "like tiddlywinks". It compares the Germans killing to a child's game. It also makes the Germans seem strong and the Jew look weak
How is alliteration used in the poem? What is the effect?
"Not bullets but bread". This uses juxtaposition by putting bread next to bullets
How does the author juxtapose the innocence of the children to the cruelty they experienced?
Because they are innocent it makes the fact that they where cruelly treated even worse.
What is meant by 'touring all of Europe'?
It means that they went down the river throughout all of Europe after they had been thrown in. It also gives the effect that they are drawn to the motherland. 

Chapter 5: Out of Bounds at All Times No Exceptions

     1.   What does it say that we only actually meet the father in the book in Chapter 5 even though he is the one causing much of the action in the book?


It says that even though he causes much of the action he is not all that important to the story.


     2.   The mother says: ‘We should have never let the Fury come to dinner. Some people and their determination to get ahead.’ What theme does this introduce regarding the role of ambition and causing harm? 


This shows that she believes that if they hadn't invited the Fury for dinner they wouldn't have had to move to Auschwitz. Because the father was so ambition it made his family move from home and they dislike him. He's selfish. The German's through their ambition are blind to the horror they have created.


3. How does Bruno's father speak to him? Give an example to support your answer.


Treats him like a child, doesn't show much emotion as he also speaks to his men.

4. How would you compare the way Bruno speaks about the world to his father's? Do they both comment about what is going on around them the same?


Bruno always says the truth the way he see's it. His father doesn't as he has managed to convince himself that killing thousands of people is just. They don't have similar comments.


5. How does the father rationalise every concern that Bruno has?


Bruno's father pays no heed to his sons worries. He believes that what has happened is for the greater good of Germany and nothing else matters.


6. What is ironic about what the father says when he comes around the desk and talks to Bruno about his childhood?


His father said he had to do what Bruno was doing now, whatever his father wanted, and then he can't even remember what he had had to do. Also he believes he is successful because of it even though he is killing people for a living.

7. Do you think that the father really cares about Bruno? Why/why not?


Of course his father cares for Bruno. His job may get in the way at times but his love is still there.

8. Do you think that Bruno understands what he is saying when he says 'Heil Hitler!'?


Bruno doesn't understand. He just believes that it is a different way to say goodbye to someone.

9. How is juxtaposition used in Bruno's description of their boarding the train to Auschwitz?


They are in a carriage with few people in it with nice seats and the Jews are all crowded in and left standing. These two extremely different trains are side by side.


10. What is Bruno's reason for not saying anything to the Jews on the crowded train? How is this a representation of the greater German population?
 
Bruno didn't say anything to the Jews on the train because he thought his mother or sister would be angry with him. This represents the German population because many thought what the Nazi's where doing to the Jews was wrong but they where too scared of them to do anything about it.

Holocaust Imagery - Hitler at a Nazi Rally

This is an image of a political rally in 1934, a staple of the Nazi regime. In your own blog post answer the questions below and include the image.

     1.  How are vectors used in this image? What effect does it have?

The vectors are used to highlight Hitler, you can also see his army. It gives an awe inspiring affect. Even though you know that they killed thousands of innocent people you can't help being shocked at the magnitude of people following such an unjust cause

     2.  Describe the composition of the image and what is tells us about the Nazis and Hitler.

It shows pretty much all of the Nazi's with a narrow stretch down the middle for people of importance. It shows that the Nazi's themselves weren't as important but Hitler and his chosen leaders where.

     3.  How is symmetry used? What effect does it have?

Symmetry is used as on each side of the isle there are men neatly lined up with the ones closest to the centre are holding flags with the Nazi's symbol on them. Even in the background you can see some men in the isle being symmetrical. Everything is symmetrical except Hitler which makes you instantly look towards him.

     4.  What effect does this picture being in black and white have?

It takes out the emotion. With colour there is anger, joy and sorrow. Here there is none because it is harder to portray emotion without colours.

     5.  Discuss the use of line in this image. What effect does it have?

The one consistent line in this image is the carpet. It makes it appear that anyone walking upon it must be important. It's also very geometrical.

Boy in the Striped PJ's Chapter 4

• (pg 31) How does the author continue to use juxtaposition in regards to the two housing situations? (the Jews and Bruno's family)

Bruno' s family has a good house with a nice garden with flowers neatly arranged, and a bench and on the other side a nice forest, where on the other hand the Jews are surrounded by a high, wire fence with curls of barbed wire on the top. The fence itself was taller than Bruno's house and there was no grass. And these two complete opposites are side by side.

• What is it about the children that makes it difficult to understand exactly what they see through the window and just how bad it is?

Everywhere else looks reasonably nice such as the garden and the forest while this scene is horrific. It is obviously meant to keep people in or out and there wasn't even any grass there. It's all like a barren land covered in nothing but dirt and a few small huts. I don't think any child would be able to take that in. Especially after the life they have lived.

• Summarise how Gretel describes what she sees.

Gretel describes it as nasty looking and modern. She compares it to the countryside or a farm.

• What does Gretel attempt to do when she sees the Concentration Camp? How does she attempt to understand what she sees?

She attempts to understand by starring at it and trying to force herself to understand.

• Is her attempt successful? Does she convince Bruno that she understands? What does she eventually give in to? What does she say/or not say? (pg 32)

Her attempt is unsuccessful, and she is unable to convince Bruno that she understands. Gretel eventually gives into the fact that it's not actually their holiday house

• What can't the children do when they see the Concentration Camp that the adults seem to be able to do? Which group can understand what they see? Why do you think that this is the case?

The children can't seem to understand what they have seen while all of the adults understand perfectly well. The reason for this is that all of the adults have bee informed about the concentration camps while the children have been told nothing. The adults try to say it's good for Germany to make themselves feel better but the children can't comprehend what is happening.

• How does the author use understatement through the children's description of the Concentration Camp?

Because it is from a child's perspective they understate it because they can't know what it actually is.

Chapter 3: The Hopeless Case

     1.  Describe how Bruno and Gretel's relationship is introduced in the chapter.


Bruno and Gretel don't really like each other much. Bruno thinks playing with dolls is girlie and Gretel loves it. But they can agree on their dislike of the new house. There is a quote "Gretel was three years older than Bruno and she had made it clear to him from as far back as he could remember that when it came to the ways of the world, particularly any events within that world that concerned the two of them, she was in charge" that showed that Gretel was the alpha of the two children and didn't think much for Bruno


     2.  List quotes that show how the new house is described.


"I hate it here", "it's not very nice is it" and "it was very hollow" where some quotes describing the house


     3.  It was very hollow and he decided that he better not go jumping around this house too often or it might collapse around their ears. What is the significance of this quote?


It shows that the house was old and fragile. It's hasn't been built well and the floorboards creak which is what makes him believe that the house could fall apart at any second.


     4.  What is Bruno's reaction to the new house?


Bruno has a bad reaction to his new home. He absolutely hates it. Some reasons are it's smaller, more isolated and he is no longer with his friends.


     5.  How does it compare to their old house?


The house is still extremely good compared to many that of many people. This house is 2 stories smaller than his old house. It doesn't have as much class as the old house did but I reckon if he wasn't so spoilt he would actually love the house.


     6.  How does Gretel relate to her father?


She admires her father. She believes he isn't doing anything wrong, but in fact through his job is doing good.


     7.  Does Bruno understand where they are? What makes you believe this?


Bruno doesn't really understand where they are. He does realises it's bad but he does not realise that the reason behind this is thousands of people dying next door. He doesn't maintain the true horror of where they are.


     8.  Does Gretel understand where they are? Explain.


Gretel understands more than Bruno as she understands that the name 'out-with' symbolises that the are kicking people out of the country but she doesn't realise that it's wrong.


     9.  How is Bruno's description of 'Out-with' represent a motif? What is darkly ironic about this?


It's actually Auschwitz. Them misinterpreting is closer to what the Germans are doing to the Jews in the concentration camp next to their house.


     10. Read pgs 27-29. How are Bruno's and Gretel's reaction to 'the children' Bruno sees through the window different? What does this tell us about these two characters and their perception/understanding of where they are?


They are both shocked. Bruno is joyous and curious that there are children around and Gretel is fearful because the camp is close. You know Gretel is fearful because she prays.

Responding to a Poem

Holocaust
by Barbara Sonek

We played, we laughed
we were loved.
We were ripped from the arms of our
parents and thrown into the fire.
We were nothing more than children.
We had a future. We were going to be lawyers, rabbis, wives, teachers, mothers. We had dreams, then we had no hope. We were taken away in the dead of night like cattle in cars, no air to breathe smothering, crying, starving, dying. Separated from the world to be no more. From the ashes, hear our plea. This atrocity to mankind can not happen again. Remember us, 
for we were the children whose dreams and lives were stolen away.




1. Construct a response to this poem using the same style and structure.


2. Be mindful of your perspective. Your poem should be from your perspective.


3. Utilise the same techniques employed by the author.


We saw, we cried
we where horrified.
You where torn from our loving arms
and alive they burned you upon a pyre.
You where nothing more than children.
You had a future. You could have become lawyers, rabbis, wives or mothers. You had dreams, they took away your hope. They stole you away in the dead of night like cattle in cars, all bunched together smothering, crying, starving, dying. disconnected from our world to be no more. From ashes, we heard your plea. This abomination to mankind must not occur again. Remember them,
for they where our children whose dreams and lives where stolen away.

This atrocity to mankind can not happen again. Remember us, for we were the children whose dreams and lives were stolen away.


    1. What is your initial reaction to this poem?

It's horrifying. Children where taken away from their families and brutally murdered. Anyone who can't see the evil in that might as well be shot.

    2. How does the author use 'we' in this poem?

The author uses 'we' as if she herself was one of the children, giving her a connection to the slaughter going on under peoples noses. Includes all the Jews (collective Pronoun). Repetition (Emphasises the 'we').

    3. What are the verbs used in the first sentence?

Played, laughed, loved.

    4. What are the verbs used in the second sentence? How do they contrast with those used in the first sentence?

Ripped, thrown. To play, laugh and love is to be a child. If you tear them away from there families and burn them it is one of the worst crimes you can commit. To rip and through is to portray those actions. Sentence 1 is positive, sentence 2 is negative. Juxtaposition.

    5. What effect does the listing of 'lawyers, rabbis, wives, teachers, mothers'? What is it meant to signify?

It makes you visualise what they could have been, giving more connection to the children. It is meant to signify the futures that could have been. Diversity of the children. All occupations help others. Forced not to do what they want.

    6. What simile is used in the poem and what effect does it have?

Like cattle. It gives the affect that the Germans thought of them as no more than animals and also the vast quantities of the children killed. Alliteration.

    7. How has the poet represented herself in the last sentence?

A child whose dream and life where stolen away. 1st person view of the situation. 'Remember us' is assertive.
    8. If you could communicate to this person, a victim of the Holocaust, what would you want to say? What do you feel that you must do in your life as a response to this poem?
I would want to apologise for all the wrongs that the Nazi's did, even though it wouldn't mean much I would try to repay them by helping other children around the world. Don't give up dreams. Not be racist as the Jews where victims of racism.

Auschwitz 65 Years Later

This is an image of Auschwitz taken 65 years after the closing of the camp. Take a moment to look at this photo and consider that approximately 1 million people were killed at this camp (that would be 1 out of every four people living in Sydney).

Key Visual Techniques

There are some powerful visual techniques being used in this photo. Take 5 minutes to point out at least 5 aspects of the photo which stand out to you and how they relate to the great anguish that was experienced at this site (create a post on your blog with the photo - don't try to copy and paste photo it won't work).

• Consider the use of vectors, line, contrast, composition, colour, and perspective (there are more techniques)
• How can the visual elements in the photo evoke empathy and reverence from a viewer?
• How is Auschwitz represented in this photo?
• Find another photo of Auschwitz that you feel has an important representation of this place that caused so much pain and destruction. Analyse the use of visual techniques which make it particularly engaging. How does it represent this location?

• The picture is dull, there are no vibrant colours, not even for the sun has any colour as it is hidden behind the clouds.
• The picture was taken at eye-level. This allows you to see the fence much further and even then it still seems to drag on endlessly because of the enormity of the camps and this picture helps to show that they didn't just do this on a whim. To build something of this size would have taken around a year so they where obviously planning to murder thousands of people.
• The bleak, colourlessness of the snow on the ground symbolizes the cold hearts of the German. They wouldn't care how much the Jews suffered. To them the Jews where nothing but animals.
• Everything is geometric. Even in a place of murder and death, which are usually horrible and messy, they still find that everything must be even.
• The whole place has no life, there are no plants, animals or people. Even the sun is not shining as brightly.
• Auschwitz is represented as a place where good men are forced to do evil things, where people suffered and died and where people place their fear.

This picture represents Auschwitz because it shows Jewish children in a concentration camp. It shows that the Germans didn't care how old you where. If you where Jewish you where in there.

The Boy in the Striped PJ's - Chapter 2

• Using quotes, how is the new house described?

Bruno see's the house as almost the exact opposite of his old house. His old house was near friends and his new house was no where near anyone. His old house was extremely big and his new house 'only' had three floors. 'Everything about it seemed to be the exact opposite of their old home and he couldn't believe that they were really going to live there.' This is a quote that describes this.

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

Compared to the house in Berlin this new house is extremely isolated. In Berlin there where many houses but here there weren't houses to be seen for miles. The reason that this is an example of juxtaposition because he is comparing the two houses judging to size and population.

• 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?

He is complaining about the house and the others say it's bad even when they feel the same way. This is hypocritical. Also while he is complaining about the house thousands of people are being killed just a few hundred metres away

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

I do not feel empathetic towards Bruno's new home. No matter what he thinks it's still a great place to live. Also there are people being killed all around but he doesn't notice because all he cares about is himself.

Boy in Striped PJ's - Chapter 1

Bruno's Voice, introduction of characters, and victims

• Describe Bruno's voice. Give examples to support.

Bruno's voice is that of a small boy . He is innocent as he has no idea about his father's job. He is given the impression that he is to be going away for only a few weeks. An example of his innocence is when he says 'Who's going to take care of it while we're gone?'

• What characters are introduced? Describe each and give examples to support.

Bruno: young innocent, no care in the world besides moving house.

His mother: kind and loving.

His father: powerful and mysterious, rude, cruel.

His sister (Gretel): cruel to Bruno and has little love showing for him.

His three friends(Martin, Daniel and Karl): not much is told about them, they are assumed to be good friends of Bruno.

His house maid (Maria): unimportant, blend into the background, not treated with respect.

The butler: doesn't speak unless spoken to, not treated with respect.

• Who are presented as victims in this chapter and what are the victims of? Do you think that it is fair to consider them victims?

Bruno and his sister. No it is not fair to consider them as victims because all that's happened to them is that they have to move house while other's are dying.

• Irony is an important element of the story. How is it used here in the first chapter? Give examples to support your answer.

Irony in the first chapter is created by Bruno thinking that the family is just going away for a couple of weeks, and that he has no idea about the job which his father completes. 

• How is the setting presented in this chapter?

It's a nice house, which is really big. There are places in the house that he is forbidden to go into. He loves his grand-parents. His favourite thing in his house is a banister.

Finding Visual Techniques - Life is Beautiful

key words/focus:
camera angle (low, high, eye-level), vectors, lighting, composition


(4:20) How are camera angles used when Joshua says 'Thank you' (not in German)? Which angles are used to view each of the characters? What does each of these angle signify?

High angle for Joshua and low angle for the German. The low angle makes the person seem taller and more powerful while a high angle makes the person seem small and insignificant.


(4:45) What shot distance and angle is used to show Guido's concern for Joshua when the German waiter leaves the room? Describe the composition)

Eye-level angle, medium shot. This allows for people to see how he feels through his facial expressions and also his body language. He is tense as he fears for his son's life.


(4:46) How is shot of Guido contrasted to the shot of the German waiter walking away to tell someone what has just happened? Describe the composition and compare it to the previous shot of a concerned Guido.

The German is the focal point, there are horizontal and vertical lines that make the place seem geometrical. Guido's shot is asymmetrical. It shows the difference between the Nazi's (tough, order) and those that fear them (weak, disorderly).


(5:02-05) How is the shot of the German's contrasted to that of Guido teaching the children to say 'Thank You'?


Guido teaching the children is at a high angle and the Germans are at a low level. The Germans are stiff and rigid while Guido is portraying emotion.

HW: How are visual techniques utilised to evoke empathy from the audience and clearly delineate (indicate) who are the heros, villains, and victims in this scene?


Joshua looks cute and he feel sorry for him as his innocence and ignorance is made obvious.

Donald Duck in 'Der Fueherer's Face'

1. How are the Germans (and Japanese) portrayed in the opening sequence? How is irony created?         They where fat or deformed in some way even though they believed that they are better than everyone else. The entire song they where singing made it seem like they where superior but really they weren't.
2. How is propaganda and the effect of propaganda portrayed with the introduction of Donald Duck?               The Germans are the master race and the Nazi sign is everywhere and even the clock does the master salute.
3. How is irony continued into the breakfast scene?                                                                                 The people even though part of the 'master race' they are treated like the Jews at the concentration camp
4. How is Naxi Germany portrayed in the opening shot at 3:30?                                                                  Geometric, and red to symbolize evil.
5. What is ironic about the song lyrics regarding work and what is happening in the scene?                          They say they'll never be slaves and Donald duck is being treated like a slave.
6. What does the conveyor belt portray regarding the lifestyle of Germans?                                                Mechanical, full of work and all that they are really there for is to help the Nazi's win the war.
7. Why do you think that there aren't actually any people that force Donald to work? We only see the ends of bayonets and a speaker.                                                                                                                       If you don't see there faces they don't draw attention to them and they seem above Donald. It also makes it seem like it's the entire race instead of a few people.
8. What is ironic about the vacation?                                                                                                         It wasn't even a vacation. Throughout it he was forced to work and exercise to exaustion.
9. In the dream sequence, how are the Germans portrayed? Why?                                                              The Germans are displayed as bullets or really weapons, because the Germans are actually just weapons to Hitler, waiting to be used.
10. What do the pyjamas when we see Donald in his bed tell us?                                                                  It shows that he is an American citizen because they are stereotypical American pyjamas.
11. What is the Statue of Liberty used to convey?                                                                                       The Statue of liberty also conveys that he is American but being the statue of liberty it shows that he should be free.
12. How is Hilter portrayed at the end of the film? What is it about his face that is important?                          Hitler is only seen by his face, It is important because it shows that even his face would be worshipped, such as at the beginning when Donald says "hail hitler' every time a picture of his face showed up on the conveyor belt.
13. Why is this a representation of propaganda? Why is it actually ironic considering the way the Nazi's are portrayed?                                                                                                                                         He is the face of the Nazi's, when we think of Nazi's we see him and the Nazi's themselves are really a force hiding behind him.
14. Who are the villains, victims, and heroes?                                                                                                Villains are Nazi's/Hitler, the victim is Donald duck and you could almost say that the hero was the realisation that the whole experience was just a dream, even though it is not a physical entity.
15. How are the portrayed?                                                                                                                         The Nazi's are portrayed as fat disfigured people and Donald is depicted as a hard working citizen.
16. What can you conclude about how these characters are portrayed knowing that this was produced in 1943 USA? (write a short essay including a discussion of the director's use of film techniques.)                          It is used to say 'Hey, look at how much better we are then these Nazi's, their own people hate them. Help us win the war!'
