Boy in the striped PJ's Chapter 15

(163) Why doesn't Bruno like Kotler? What does he observe and not understand about Kotler when his father is away?
He doesn't lie it how he speaks with his mother and how she laughs at his jokes more than she laughs at fathers, he doesn't like it how everyone likes him, how he calls him little man and what he observes and doesn't understand is that when father is away, Kotler is at the house when he goes to sleep and wakes up.
(163) What is meant when Kotler uses the cliche 'Don't worry, this one knows which side his bread is buttered on.'? He means like he may be stupid, but he knows what he is doing and wont mess up

(165) How would you describe the interaction between Kotler and Bruno?
Harsh, short and angry. Its harsh because both of them dislike each other
(166) What surprise does Bruno get?
Shmuel is in his house
(167) How is juxtaposition used when Bruno compares his hand to Shmuel's?
Its used to show that even though they have the same birthday and they are the same age, they are still different in so many ways, such as how the Germans and Jews are both human and pretty much do the same things as ea  hother, they are both different in many ways
(168-9) Does Bruno understand the pressure that Shmuel is under?
No, he just thinks that Shmuel is scared of Kotler for the same reason Bruno is scared of Kotler, as well as Bruno doesn't really understand what's going on with the war as well, if he did it would be a lot clearer
(171-2) What dramatic situation unfolds and what is Bruno's reaction?

(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?
He feels like he should have said something else that would have gotten both of them out of trouble, and when he doesn't see Shmuel at the fence he thinks that Shmuel will never forgive him, and when he sees the bruises he new that they were because of him
(175) What does Bruno say that prompts Shmuel to offer his hand in friendship? How is this symbolic?
He says that they were friends and that things like that shouldn't happen to friends. Its symbolic because it was saying that the Germans became friends with the Jews. It symbolizes peace.
