(105) What does the progression of 'dot' to 'boy' tell us about the role of exploring and meeting the people in the camp? What does this represent about how other Germans view the Jews?
The progression of the dot to boy tells us that Bruno's sense of exploration is important and allows him to meet new people and find answers he's been searching for. This represents the other Germans views of Jews as just an object to explore.
(109) What effect does the boys both having the same birthday have?
The boys having the same birthday represents the similarity of people put into the camp and people outside of the camp. It shows us that Shmuel and Bruno are actually quite alike.
(113-4) What do Bruno and Shmuel 'argue' about? What does Bruno decide to stop the argument?
Bruno and Shmuel argue about German being the greatest country. Bruno decides to stop the argument because he doesn't want to sound rude in front of his new friend and he wants to make the most out of talking to someone on the other side of the fence.
(115) What does Bruno's last question reveal to Shmuel? What do you think Shmuel thinks of Bruno because of asking this question?
Bruno's last question reveals to Shmuel that Bruno doesn't know whats happening and who he is. I think Shmuel thinks of Bruno as an ignorant German and also innocent.
