The new house is described as being juxtaposed to the new house by listing all the qualities of the old house " The house in Berlin had stood on a quiet street and alongside it were a handful of other big houses like his own, and it was always nice to look at them" this listing of the old house does not describe the new house but lists the old house this creates a visual image into the audiences mind.
How does it compare to the house in Berlin? How is this an example of juxtaposition?

How is Bruno's reaction and discussion of the new house taken by the other characters? What is ironic about the way people treat Bruno's comments regarding the new house?
