  1. 1 If I were Bruno when Lieutenant Kotler attacked Shmuel I would have told him I gave it to him, and that he was hungry so I did him a favor. I think Bruno didn't do or say anything about Kotler attacking Shmuel because he was scared and was caught off guard at the moment, since Kotler just came out of nowhere and saw the food on Shmuels mouth.
    2. I think the most exciting part of chapter 16 was when Bruno found out that Lieutenant Kotler was transferred away because he never liked him and was happy he was gone.

  7. 1) If I were Bruno when Lieutenant Kotler attacked Shmuel I would have defended Shmuel. I would risk getting hur or fussed at to protect Shmuel. I thnk Bruno didn't say or do anything because he was scared at the moment. Seeing Lieutenant Kotler mad made him freeze.
    2) The most exciting thing that happened in chapter 16 was when Bruno and Gretel found out they had lice.

  11. 1. Know that i was much much shorter than Lt. Kotler Iwould have not have picked a fight with Lt. Kotler, I would have said that my mother gave him permission to eat, since he was doing such a wonderful job at polishing the glasses, knowing that Bruno is Moms favorite of the children she would have agreed. I believed Bruno did anything because Bruno was was very frightened of the Lieutenant, the more the Lieutenant shows up the more he does something that puts fear in Bruno.
    2. The most exciting thing in chapter 16, was the fact that Lieutenant Kotler was transfered to the front line. And the fact that Gretel is getting more close to Bruno and is acknowledging him a little more.

    1. If I were Bruno and Lt. Kolter attaked Shmuel I would have stood up for him because Shmuel is getting treated badly by Lt. Kolter, and Lt. Kolter dosen't run my house. I think Bruno didn't say or do anything because he was in shock and he wasn't able to do anything.
    2. I think the most exiting event in chapter 16 was when Bruno had to shave his hair because him and Gretel had lice.

  13. 1. I would have told him the truth and told him that I gave him the food because he was hungry. He didn't want the Lieutenant to know that they were friends because he would be in huge trouble.
    2. The most exciting part was when Lieutenant Kotler left.

  14. 1. If I was Bruno I would have told Lieutenant Kotler that I had given Shmuel the food because he looked hungry and I didn't know that he wasn't suppose to have anything to eat.

    2. I believe that the most exciting events were in chapter 16 because that chapter was the climax of the story.

  15. 1. I would have asked Lieutenant Kotler why he attacked Shmuel, all he was doing was eating some food. I think Bruno didn't say anything because he did not want Lieutenant Kotler to attack him for being involved in the situation.
    2. I think that one of the most important events was that Bruno finds Shmuel as a friend and someone to talk to and another important and funny thing is that Bruno's father thought that it would be best to shave both Bruno's and Gretel's head because they had lice.

  17. 1. I would of tryed to kick the dude in his nuts, because he beaten my friend in my face for somthing I did, and because Bruno a punk.
    2. Because it really shows the friendship between the two boys and how Bruno gets caught in his ignorance.

  18. 1)I would have come to Shmuel's protection because Bruno's father is in charge of Lieutenant Kotler so he could not hurt Bruno. Bruno probably said nothing to save his own hind.

    2)It was exiting when Gretel told Bruno about the Holocaust because now Bruno knows what is really happening.

  19. 1. If I were Bruno, I would've stood up for my Schmuel. That's what friends do for each other. I would feel guilty if I didn't do/say anything knowing that I was the one who gave him the food. Schmuel didn't want to take it but Bruno made him. I think Bruno didn't say anything because he was scared. If Bruno said something, Lieutenant Kotler would've told Bruno's father that Bruno and Schmuel had some type of friendship going on and Bruno would've been in big trouble. So Bruno was just thinking of himself when he didn't say anything. He didn't want to suffer the consequences so he just put the blame on Schmuel.

    2. I think the most exciting event in Chapter 16 was when Bruno got all of his hair shaved off. I feel this is most exciting and most important because now Bruno looks more like Schmuel just more healthier. In this chapter, I think Bruno starts to realize that him and Schmuel are more alike than they are different personality wise and appearance wise.

  20. 1)What would you have done if you were Bruno when Lieutenant Kotler attacked Shmuel for eating some food? Why do you think Bruno did or said nothing?
    If i was Bruno i would have said It was my fault and owned up to my mistake because It was Bruno that told Shmuel he could have some chicken & cake.

    2)What do you think the story's most exciting events were in Chapter 16?
    The part I thought was the most exciting, wasn't really exciting. Bruno's Grandmother died so they had to go back to Berlin to attend her funeral. He was kind of happy that he got to go back home after a year in Out-With. He missed his Grandmother but also he missed his home and friends.

  23. 1. What would you have done if you were Bruno when Lieutenant Kotler attacked Shmuel for eating some food? Why do you think Bruno did or said nothing?
    I don't think I would have done anything if I was Bruno, because I wouldn't want to get punished for sneaking the food. I think Bruno didn't say anything because Bruno was scared and he didn't know what the soldier might have done to him.

    I think the most exciting event in chapter 16 was when Bruno really sees Shumel as a friend and shaves his hair off of his head.

  24. 1.I would tell him to leave Shmuel alone because Bruno's father is in charge of Kotler so he can't hurt him.

    1. I would have told Lieutenant Kotler that I was the one that gave Shumel the food. He didn't steal it and I told him that it doesn't matter. It was my fault not his. I think that Bruno did nothing because, he didn't want to get in trouble even though he thought, it wasn't his fault it was mine.
    2. What really surprised me the most was at the funeral, Bruno's dad was really sad because, the last time they spoke they had tha really big fight and that he never made up for that.

  30. 1. What would you have done if you were Bruno when Lieutenant Kotler attacked Shmuel for eating some food? Why do you think Bruno did or said nothing?
    I would have defended and claimed Shmuel if I were Bruno because thats what a true friend would do. I think Bruno didn't say/do anything because he got scared and he panicked since he is already afraid of Leutenent Kotler.

    2. What do you think the story's most exciting events were in Chapter 16?
    I think the most exciting part of chapter 16 was when Bruno's grandmother died and he had to go back to Berlin to attend the funeral because it showed how much he had moved on from his life there.

    2. I think the best part was when Kolter got sent away because he was a mean Nazi.
