Boy in the striped PJ's Chapter 9

(pg95-96) How is Lt Kotler portrayed? Why is he portrayed this way? (remember that 'how' is asking about literary techniques) He is portrayed that he is the most important person in the world because he wears his black polished boots. But when he isn't doing work for father he is outside talking to Gretel. So Bruno is thinking that there are two sides to Kotler in a way. He is portrayed in alliteration with the black boots. 
What is Herr Liszt going to 'change' for Bruno? (98) He is going to change what Bruno is reading, and pretty much by doing s, change the way Bruno looks at life. He is sort of going to take away his imagination and by giving him books on history, it may possibly change or take away some of his innocence.
(100) What connection does Bruno make between the people in the camp and the people that come and visit his house all the time? That they are not the same, they wear different things and they do different things, they have different expressions and he was wondering who was important and who wasn't, and who exactly put these people in charge. The connection he made is that one side is better than the other.
What some of the things that Bruno begins to take notice of regarding the relationship between the soldiers and the people in 'pyjamas'? That the ones in uniforms are a lot more sharper than the ones in pyjamas and that the ones in pyjamas do what the ones in uniforms say.
