After talking to Maria, Bruno realizes she is

• a hopeless case
• only there to run Gretel a bath
• a person with a life of her own
• mistaken about Father for being a good man

Pavel cleans Bruno's wound because

• he is a doctor
• Kotler orders him to
• taking care of Bruno is his job
• Mother had promised to take credit for it

Grandmother is ashamed of Father because he

• looks foolish in his uniform
• does terrible things at his job
• is concerned only with appearances
• became a soldier instead of an actor

When the Fury comes over for dinner, he

• is rude to everyone
• opens the door for Eva
• is impressed with Gretels knowledge
• says he is unhappy with Father's work

Bruno decides not to disagree with anyone at Out With after

• Maria tells him to be quiet
• Pavel spills wine on Kotler
• Mother tells him to make the best of a bad situation
• Father says the people in the pajamas aren't really people

Shmuel accept Brunos apology for

• eating the food he brings
• saying Father is a good soldier
• denying their friendship to Kotler
• misunderstanding what happens on Shmuel's side of the fence

Bruno makes Gretel laugh by asking about

• the animals on the farm
• where she put her missing dolls
• how to correctly pronounce Out With
• why she moves pins around on maps of Europe

At the end of the novel, Bruno

• understands why the Jews are suffering
• remembers the names of his three best friends
• follows a large crowd of people into a long room
• finds the fence's other side is just as he imagined it
