(105) What does the progression of 'dot' to 'boy' tell us about the role of exploring and meeting the people in the camp? What does this represent about how other Germans view the Jews? The description used by a German perspective being Bruno further communicate to us that the German's view the Jews not as people. The juxtaposition which is the holocaust story of the contrast of the Nazi's and the Jews is further explored in this description when Bruno is first describing what he discovers to be Shmuel as a dot and a blur.
(109) What effect does the boys both having the same birthday have? This detail gives us a sense that even though the Jews and Nazi's are portrayed as so different in the way they live apart and are treated differently this is a microcosm of how the Nazi's and Jews aren't really so different.
(113-4) What do Bruno and Shmuel 'argue' about? What does Bruno decided to stop the argument? Bruno and Shmuel start to argue about which place is better Berlin or Poland. Bruno decides to stop the argument becuase he doesn't want to argue with his new friend.
(115) What does Bruno's last question reveal to Shmuel? What do you think Shmuel thinks of Bruno because of asking this question? Bruno's last question to Shmuel was asking why are so many people on that side of the fence, and what are they doing there. This question revels to Shmuel that Bruno is part of the group of the soldiers and has really no idea why they are separated.
