• choose three important, revealing, or interesting sentences/passages from the text:-
- they might tell something about a character
- describe something well
- capture an important moment
- be confusing, funny, scary, ironic, interesting, puzzling, powerful etc.
- contain figurative language, etc.
• explain why you chose the quote, what you think it shows, or why it is important in your opinion
Quote #1: _Every day Bruno asked Shumuel whether he would be allowed to crawl under the wire so that they could play on the other side of the fence but every day Shumuel refused as it was not a good idea(p.80 )
Why I chose it/what it shows: This shows that Shumuel probably does not want to let Bruno see the horrors of the camp, or maybe he’s concerned about Bruno safety just in case he gets into trouble or perhaps he is embarrassed to show the life he’s living to Bruno, either way this quote ha s several meanings, which I find interesting
Quote #2: _He always in the living room with Mother and she laughed at his jokes more than she laughed at Father’s jokes (p. 85 )
Why I chose it/what it shows: _This could probably signify an interest with Lieutenant Kolter perhaps Mother is having an affair with him?Maybe she finds Liutenant Kolter more “interesting” compared to Father.There is a probability that the relationship can be seen in future chapters

Quote #3: When he heard lieutenant Kolter arriving at the house and speaking to someone although he didn’t hear anyone answer back, A few minutes later as he was coming downstairs, he heard Mother giving instructions of what needed to be done and Lieutenant Kolter saying , don’t worry this one knows which side his bread is buttered on” laughing in a nasty way (p. 86 )
Why I chose it/what it shows: When I first read it I assumed Pavel had returned, or it could have been some other Jewish prisoner that was doing the household chores and since they either weren’t allowed or did not dare to talk back, hence the quote: He didn’t hear anyone answer back” When Lieutenant Kolter said : “He knows which side his bread is buttered on” this part could mean he know where his loyalties lie or maybe it shows that he understands what he’s doing and will not mess up the job.
