(163) Why doesn't Bruno like Kotler? What does he observe and not understand about Kotler when his father is away?
He doesn't like Kotler becuase he is so aggressive and intimidating. Bruno doesn't understand why when his Father has to go for an overnight trip back o Berlin why Kotler Immediately thinks that he is in charge of the house when his father is gone.
(163) What is meant when Kotler uses the cliche 'Don't worry, this one knows which side his bread is buttered on.'?
We don't exactly know who he is talking about but he means that the person know what his or her interest in life and know what her or she doesn't like.
(165) How would you describe the interaction between Kotler and Bruno?
I would describe the interaction as a very bad relationship between the two characters. Kotler is very rude and mean to Bruno and we get evidence of Kotler trying to torment Bruno when he takes his book away from him. We can understand Kotler does this to Bruno purely becuase he can.
(166) What surprise does Bruno get?
Bruno realizes that Shmuel is at the house.
(167) How is juxtaposition used when Bruno compares his hand to Shmuel's?
The juxtaposition between the hand of Bruno and the hand of Shmuel represent the lives that they live. Bruno being very healthy and living a nice life with a house and family and food, where as Shmuel living of a life of hardship, starvation and being constantly hurt by soldiers has made him looked very deprived and sick.
(168-9) Does Bruno understand the pressure that Shmuel is under?
No becuase when Bruno gives Shmuel the three slices of chicken and he eats it incredibly quickly when Bruno says 'You didn't have to eat it that quickly'. We definitely understand that Bruno doesn't understand if he gets caught eating food in the house he will be punished severely by Kotler.
(171-2) What dramatic situation unfolds and what is Bruno's reaction?
Kotler comes in and finds the two boys talking and discovers that Shmuel has eaten some food. Kotler gets really mad and shouts at Bruno asking him if he knows and Shmuel becuase Shmuel says that they are friends. Unfortunately Bruno has to deny this so he is able to leave this tense situation.
(173-4) What does Bruno think of himself because of the way he reacts? How is the major theme 'fear' portrayed in this scene? What does it do to Bruno and Shmuel?
Bruno thinks of himself as a coward and a bad friend. Fear is portrayed in this scene by one character Kotler. I think Kotler in this book symbolizes fear and this makes Bruno answer and act differently than he normally does all becuase of fear.
(175) What does Bruno say that prompts Shmuel to offer his hand in friendship? How is this symbolic?
He doesn't like Kotler becuase he is so aggressive and intimidating. Bruno doesn't understand why when his Father has to go for an overnight trip back o Berlin why Kotler Immediately thinks that he is in charge of the house when his father is gone.

Bruno says to Shmuel that he shouldn't of acted so cowardly and he shouldn't never denied that they were friends and he let Shmuel down and he will never do it again and he said sorry. When they shook hands this represents the strong friendship that they have and how these two juxtaposed characters could be friends disregarding everything that is happening around them.
