JOJO RABBIT ANSWERS

1. because it's a different way of showing how people were thinking as adults can choose their thoughts as this happened later in their life whereas Jojo was brought up into a nazi society, therefore, it's all he's grown up knowing

2. if the text was written to be based around an adult I think it would have a completely different storyline as some of the adults had very strong beliefs and had a smallish idea of what they were thinking.

3. He used a child's perspective as this helped show the audience how the nazi era had an impact on children while being able to use an aspect of humour through childlike behaviour.

4. The children in the Film are represented in a way that shows they are curious and questioning what's going on whereas the Adults are represented in a way that shows they are very opinionated and believe in what they think

5. I think that during the film Jojo used his imaginary friend Hitler to help him get through different stages during the film this was shown in one of the starting scenes where Jojo was getting bullied so he ran off and "Hitler" said some things to him which inspired him and he ran off all happy
