AGENDA:

1. In Class - 45 minute writing assignment - thesis! Intro - no I's, no you's

ORGANIZE YOUR THOUGHTS / MAKE A PLAN

Choose one:

Gretel, Bruno's sister, is seen several times with her dolls and then one day Bruno finds the discarded dolls ominously piled into a dark corner of the cellar. What does this image tell the film's viewers about the changes the girl is experiencing? How does our perception change how we see things?

Write an essay showing Bruno's progress from complete innocence to an awakening of understanding about what is going on around him. What events and experiences lead Bruno to gradually give up some of his innocence and see things differently?
