chapters 9-12

These chapters were some what surprising to me. It was hard for Bruno to understand what is going on in the world around him. His father works for Hitler, but yet Bruno doesnt even know who that is. It kind of made me mad when Bruno thought that he felt the same way as Schmuel. Bruno just couldn't understand what Schmuel went through with being in the same room as eleven other people. I felt bad for him when he was beat up by the other family's son, Laika, who would beat up Schmuel for no apparent reason. Schmuel has been through so much at such a young age, but yet Bruno can't completely comprehend. It shocked me when Bruno found out that Schmuel was born on the same day as Bruno. This actually made Bruno very happy, because it was a thing that had in common. He said they were like twins. I am very glad that Bruno talks to Schmuel, but i get a feeling that someone is going to find out about Bruno leaving to meet Schmuel everyday. But Bruno doesn't even think about that at the moment, he is just happy that he finally found someone that the thinks is some what like him.
