Chapter 10: The Dot That Became a...


(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? He starts to humanize the Jews. He realises that They are not just dots, objects in the distance but real people with feelings.
(109) What effect does the boys both having the same birthday have? They get a kind of connection.
(113-4) What do Bruno and Shmuel 'argue' about? What does Bruno decide to stop the argument? They argue that the place where they are from is nicer than the others. Bruno says we will have to agree to disagree. This is ironic as if Germany had agreed to disagree WW2 wouldn't of happened and the holocaust wouldn't have happened.
(115) What does Bruno's last question reveal to Shmuel? What do you think Shmuel thinks of Bruno because of asking this question? The innocence of Bruno. He realises that Bruno has no clue to what his country is doing. He thinks Bruno is kind of like him in the way they are both victims and they didn't do anything wrong.
