Chapter 5

1. I think the mother meant by this that her kid is furry.

Furries are individuals who are especially interested in anthropomorphic or cartoon animals
(e.g., Bugs Bunny). They often strongly identify with anthropomorphic animals and create
fursonas, identities of themselves as those anthropomorphic animals.

3. Brunos fathers response to his question is his embrace of Nazism. Idk the rest.

unsatisfactory.

Chapter 6

1. After Maria told him the story of how Father had helped her in times of crisis, Bruno realized
that Maria had an existence outside her work for his family. In other words, he suddenly
understood that she was a person. Unlike Father, Bruno could see that individuals who were
different from him were still people.
2. After Bruno called his father stupid, Maria was horrified, insisting that his father was a good
man. Maria said, "He has a lot kindness in his soul, truly he does, which makes me
wonder..." If she were to finish the sentence, what might she say?
3. When her mother died, he paid for the funeral. It was for these reasons, Maria told Bruno,
that she would not say a bad word about Father. She told Bruno he should keep his feelings
to himself and his head down until everything was over. When her mother died, he paid for
