  1. 1. My reaction when Bruno found Samuel was shocked because Bruno has no idea that the little boy is in a concentration camp and how bad he is being treated.
    2. The thing that surprised me the most in chapter ten was when Bruno noticed Samuel behind the fence. That surprised me the most because the boy looked so hopeless and sad but he couldn't do nothing about it.

  2. 1)I was shocked and surprised when Bruno found Shmuel becaue Bruno father was a Nazi and Shmuel father was a Jew so they did not know that they were each others Enemy and could not befriend each other.

    2)The thing that surprised me the most in chapter ten is when Bruno notices That Shmuel is wearing pajama looking cloths.That surpried me because Shemuel told Bruno that the soliders took there cloths and shave there heads,So that had Bruno thinking about his father who is also a soldier.

  3. 1.I was shocked when Bruno found Shmuel by the fence while he was exploring.


    2.The thing that surprised me the most in chapter ten was when Bruno found Shmuel by the fence while he was exploring. Shmuel was wearing striped pajamas. That surprised me the most because I did not think Bruno was going to discover Shmuel who happened to be the same age as him and they shared the same birthday/ year.

  4. 1. I was kinda curious when Bruno found Shmuel. I was curious about what Bruno was thinking. Not only because Bruno's dad is a Nazi soldier but because he was probably wondering why this boy that he could be friends with was behind a fence and he could not connect with him.

    2. I was surprised the most about chapter 10 when Bruno walks slong the fence and finds Shmuel. Then he sees that he has the same pajamas as the people that are held behind the fence. And, the same that his servants had on.

  5. 1. My reaction to Bruno finding Shmuel was curious because I didn't know what he was thinking about when he found Shmuel, like why he was behind a fence.
    2. The thing that surprised me most in chapter 10 was that Bruno randomly found Shmuel so far away from his house and they actually talked to each other.

    1. I was kind of surprised but not really because the title gave it away.

    2. What surprised me the most was how Shmuel was described. It was shocking to here that he looked grey and sick and very skinny.

    "Why are there so many people on that side of the fence?" he asked.
    This was important to me because it shows that Bruno really had no idea what was going on at all. That he was confused and clueless.

    1.When Bruno meets or finds Shmuel my reaction is scared because if I were in Bruno's shoes I wouldn't know what Shmuel would do to me if I was just sitting there having a conversation.
    2. What surprised me the most in chapter 10 was when Bruno met Shmuel because the way they described it in the book was that he looked different from Bruno. But we also shouldn't "judge a book by it's cover".

  16. 1. I was very surprised.
    2. the thing that surprised me the most was when Bruno found Shmuel behind the fence wearing the same striped pajamas as all the other people.

  17. 1. Explain your reaction when Bruno finds Shmuel at the fence?
    I was surprised when Bruno finds Shmuel on the other side of the fence because they have so much in common, but they aren't even supposed to be friends because Bruno is a German and Shmuel is a Jew. I was also shocked Bruno has no idea how terribly Shmuel and his other "friends" on the other side of the fence are being treated.

    2. What surprised you the most in Chapter 10? Why?
    I was mostly surprised by how nice Bruno was to Shmuel since his father was teaching him to say "Heil Hitler" since he was two years old and since he was a German and Smheul was a Jew.

  18. 1.Explain your reaction when Bruno finds Shmuel at the fence? I was nervous when Bruno found Shmuel at the fence because I thought Bruno was going to get caught by the security guard. I don't think he was supposed to be talking to anyone in the concentration camp.

    What surprised you the most in Chapter 10? Why?
    I was surpise that Bruno and Shmuel was born on the same day (April 13, 1934). I was total surpise to learn that there were children the same age as Bruno (9 year old) in this concentration camp.

  19. 1) My reaction to when Bruno found Shmuel was exciting. Him finding a friend means no more reading about how bored he was or him complaining how there were no other kids. He would have someone to talk to. I was also nervous because by talking to Shmuel Bruno would found out what's really going on behind the fence.
    2) The most suprising thing in Chapter 10 was that Bruno and Shmuel were the exact same age and had the same birthday but were the complete opposite.

  20. 1. I found it interesting when Bruno found Shmuel because he found a new friend and something else to do when he is bored.
    2. The dot became a speck, that became a blob, that became a figure, and that became a boy is what interesting me the most in chapter because it was weird

  21. 1. Explain your reaction when Bruno finds Shmuel at the fence? My reaction was intriged since Bruno didn't have any friends he would most definataly befriend this boy and because of his adventorus spirit I knew he would become more and more courious about the other side of the fence.

    2. What surprised you the most in Chapter 10? Why? I was most definaltly suprised because Bruno went to the camp and found a little boy his own age.

  22. 1.I was very shocked to see that there was an young boy sitting at the fence doing nothing in particular.
    2.The thing that suprised me in chapter 10 was that Bruno has actually found someone his own age to socialize with.

  23. 1. My reactions towards Bruno Finding Shmuel at the fence was very surprising because he was very small just as Bruno, and the fact that shmuel was able to find time to be at the fence other than working.
    2. what was surprising to me was the fact that Shmuel was very much smaller than Bruno and the fact that bruno waled along the fence for mor than an hour to find a boy, then when he told shmuel that he never heard heard a boy with his name before.

  24. 1) My reaction when Bruno saw Shmuel at the fence was that Bruno was about to find out in a matter of time what Auschwitz really was.
    2)What surprised me the most in chapter 10 was when Bruno found out the Shmuel had the same birthday as he did but Shmuel was smaller than Bruno.

    1. When Bruno finds Shumel on the other side of the fence, I thought was that the concentration camp? Because he was wearing the striped pajamas. So now Bruno can finally figure out what the Auschwitz is.
    2. Whst really surprised me the most in chapter 10 was that Bruno and Shumel were both born on April 15th 1934 and I thought that was pretty cool. I also started wondering was there a connection between Bruno and Shumel.

  28. 1. well the cover of my book gave it away (foreshadowing) but I was finally releived that Bruno could have some of his questions answerd.
    2. To be honest the title suprised me the most because I didnt expect Bruno to meet the boy so soon in the book.

  29. 1. I think Bruno was kind of happy when he found Shemul at the fence, because he thought he would have a friend. But then again, I think Bruno was kind of surprised to find a young boy by a fence.

    2. The thing that shocked me the most was the way the book described Shumel. I could not see someone looking grey from hungry (this is what I am guessing why he was grey), especially a child.

  30. 1. I was very happy for Bruno when he met Schmuel at the fence because he finally met someone who was his age mate and who he could talk to. Bruno hated his life ever since he moved to Out-With since he was constantly bored so it was good that he finally had someone interesting to talk to and share stories with.

    2. What shocked me the most was how well Schmuel and Bruno got along as soon as they started talking. I was expecting that they would be a little shy towards each other since they have never met before but it didn't take long before they started getting along.

  31. 1.My reaction when Schumel and Bruno meet is shocked because i want to know their reaction to this.

  33. 1)Explain your reaction when Bruno finds Shmuel at the fence?
    My reaction was "i thought no other children were their? how did the boy get in that fence and what was over on the other side? Bruno might make friends with this boy very quickly."
    2)What surprised you the most in Chapter 10? Why?
    I was'nt really suprised, but the most suprised moment was how Bruno found Shmuel and how they became friends so quick.

  35. 1. When i first read about Schumal i was supprized and i thought he was dying because i thought had cancer.

    2. I was most suprized about Schumal being in the concentration camp because i thought the camp was a prison but it was a concentration camp.
