The Boy in the Striped Pajamas ch. 13-16

I would have hate to be caught sneaking food out of the kitchen.  It is a little weird how Bruno asks Maria instead of his parents about Pavel and his past job.  I think the Shmuel would be a great zookeeper.  I pity Bruno because he doesn't know what his father does to the Jews.  Shmuel was right in saying that are no good soldiers.  I hate Lt. Kotler too.  I almost laughed when father made Kotler feel awkward at the dinner table.  I feel so bad for Pavel because he didn't spill the wine on purpose, although I might have,  and he got yelled at by Kotler.  I don't understand how Gretel can still like him when she grew pale when she saw this.  I would have grown tired of the rain too.  Bruno's lie was a creative one.  I would have been in trouble because I can't think of things like that off the top of my head.  I would be intrigued if my sister told me that she had an imaginary friend.  I would have felt so ashamed if I hadn't comforted Shmuel when he was talking about his troubles.  It was so mean the way Kotler was teasing Bruno about the book.  The fact that you can see the blood veins in Shmuel's hand made me sad.  It is so sad the Shmuel thinks that a slice of meat is like a feast.  I probably would have done the same thing, and deny my friendship if I knew I shouldn't be friends with them.  It is neat to see how the boy's friendship strengthens in these chapters.  It is so sad that his grandmother had to die.  I think that it is good that Shmuel now knows who the people are on the other side of the fence.  I would hate to have all my hair shaved off.
