Chapter 10: The Dot That Became a...

(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?
While exploring you should investigate something's and ignore other things . When you meet people you should ask some questions but leave others out. Also the progression of 'dot' to 'boy' is like when you meet someone, you don't really know anything about them but as you get to know them you can see the bigger picture. The Germans only see the 'dot' for the Jewish people while they should be trying to find the 'boy'.
(109) What effect does the boys both having the same birthday have?
It makes them feel more connected, as they have something else in common. It also makes it a juxtaposition of they boys separate lives.
(113-4) What do Bruno and Shmuel 'argue' about? What does Bruno decide to stop the argument?

They argue over the better place to live. Shmuel say's Poland and Bruno says Berlin. Bruno stops the arguement because he doesn't want to fight his new friend. He says "let's agree to disagree".
(115) What does Bruno's last question reveal to Shmuel? What do you think Shmuel thinks of Bruno because of asking this question? 

Bruno asks why there are so many people on that side of the fence which shows to Shmuel that Bruno is either innocent or ignorant. I also think Shmuel may feel happy for Bruno that he doesn't know of the horror but also shocked because of this.
