Questions:
1. Bruno feels that Shmuel is like his twin, the boys are different in many ways. Use a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the two characters.
2. Bruno says many things that demonstrate he does not understand at all how bad the conditions
are at the concentration camp. Why do you think that Shmuel does not try harder to correct Bruno?

4. Why do the boys want to embrace when Bruno first appears on Shmuel’s side of the fence?
