Question

Explain what Bruno's mother means when she says, "We don't have the luxury of thinking." Identify scenes from the novel that Bruno's mother isn't happy about their life at Out-With. Debate whether she is unhappy being away from Berlin, or whether she is angry about her husband's position.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I think what Bruno's mother means when she says, "we don't have the luxury of thinking.' is that she knows that her country and family are being forced or controlled by the Nazis and Hitler, hence, all the decisions are being made for them and there is not much independence to be opinionated. I also have an understanding that she is not unhappy about leaving Berlin but rather she is unhappy about her Husband's job position and she thinks that he should have not taken the position.
