The author, John Boyne, spells some words incorrectly in this book - Auschwitz is called Out-With and the Fuhrer is called the Fury. Why does the author do this? What does it tell us about our main character?

• This is a trick question; Out-With and the Fury are spelled correctly.
• Bruno has never been very good at spelling and doesn’t know how to spell these words.
• This shows the reader that Gretel is playing a trick on Bruno by telling him the wrong names for things.
• Because Bruno is very young, he doesn’t fully understand everything that’s going on in the world around him.
