WORKSHEET FOR CHAPTERS 9

Chapter 9

Introduction to Herr Liszt Bruno reflects on the significance of clothes

Instructions:
In this chapter, we are going to explore the significance of clothes and how clothes are used to differentiate different groups of people and their status in society

What exactly was the difference? -Bruno

All the people in the camp wore the same clothes, those pyjamas and their striped cloth caps too;

All the people who wandered through his house (with the exception of Mother, Gretel and him) wore uniforms of carrying quality and decoration and caps and helmets with bright red-and-black armbands and carried guns and always looked terribly stern as if it was all very important really and no one should think otherwise.
