It is interesting to me that the author can phrase his thoughts and the way his main character asks and speaks to resemble the way a naive nine year old might. He has done this very skillfully.
We figure out in this section that Bruno's father is an officer for the Fury, or the Fuhrer, I presume. I never realized that there were some people that objected to what was happening to the Jews. Bruno's grandmother was very upset with what her son was doing. I mean, I kind of guessed that there were some people who were not happy with what was happening, but for the most part, I thought most of Germany supported Hitler. I never thought that the Grandmother would be so vocal about what she thought about her son's job.
This section also shows the extent of the hatred for the Jews that Nazi Germany had. When Bruno makes a tire swing and injures himself, Pavel, one of the waiters (who used to be a doctor), patches him up. When Bruno's mother finds out, she takes the credit for what Pavel did so he wouldn't be punished. So even though Pavel did a good thing by taking care of Bruno, he might have gotten punished for it. That doesn't make sense to me.

yea i totally agree on when you talked about Pavel helping Bruno, but his mother taking all of the work. I dont understand this either, and why Pavel could be punished for doing a good deed. GOOD BLOG!
actually, most of germany did not support hitlers actions. Most were unaware and those germans who were not nazis and were aware, were opposed to hitler. They along with gypsies, gays, catholics, mentally challenged, handicapped, of course jews, and many others, were all put into concentration camps. now you know more stuff, enjoy.
