I think that the Fury is nice when i first read about him at the degning and he likes to tell jokes like when gretel intredusd her self and Bruno and then the Fury said "now witch one is witch" and he is not rude around people.

The differences between Shumuel and Bruno is that Bruno is a young German son of a Commander he is happier,fatter,wealthier than Shumuel who is the exact opposite.Some similarities is they have the same age,birthday.I think its because of their similarities

The similar things about Bruno And Shumuel is that they both are borne on the same day and they are both 9 year old. The differences about both of them is that Shumuel is way thinner than Bruno Nd also that Shumuel has smaller fingers.The most important factors that help them to be friend's is that Bruno always brings something to eat for shumuel and that's why Shumuel likes Bruno as a friend.

I think the Fury is very important because father allways wants to make a good impresion. Such as when father said "You open your mouth and speek like an adult". I also dodn`t like the Fury because he is unpolite. He is unpolite because he says "Yes, but why would you want to." when she spoke french . Saying that might be like saying that she is wasting her time speeking that language.
comment:Yes that is true that Bruno give food to Shmuel. Great job Emaan.
comment:Nice job Shekinah those answers are 100 percent correct.

There are a lot of diffrences between Bruno and Shmuel. Number 1 shmuel is from poland and Bruno is from Germany. Second Shmuel is jewish and Bruno isn't. Lastly they are treated very differently. The similarity is that both of them are the same age and live in the same place. The most important factors that help them become friends are
Their similarities and the fact that Bruno loves to explore.
Antillia Matenda
ReplyDeleteThe two boys, Bruno and Shmuel are similar because they are thesame age and they have the same birthday. Another similarity between the two boys is that they are both very nice to each other and they lok a bit alike. On the other hand they are different because Bruno is from Germany and Shmuel is from Poland, also Shmuel is skinny and Bruno isn't. I think that the most important thing that makes their friendship is that they are different so they get to know each other better, also that they love each other so much and will never let each other down no matter what.

I agree with you that the Fury was a very important man, after all he was the leader of Germany.I also don't like it when the "Fury" say 'Yes, but why would you want to', it tells us that he is too full of himself and his country to care about French.
sankara to antillia
ReplyDeletegreat job antillia. the to boys are very differentfrom each other but have some of the same features. i think ur right opposites attract
Shezlin Hemnani
ReplyDeleteQuestion 1:
The similarities between the two boys are their birthdays, they look similar, and they live in the same place ever since Bruno moved to Out-With. The differences are that Bruno is from Germany and Shmuel is from Poland, Shmuel is skinny and Bruno isn't, Shmuel has gone through a lot of harsh and unpleasant times and Bruno hasn't. I think it is good that they have differences and so they get to know stuff from each other and they get interested, they talk more and their bond of friendship gets stronger and stronger.... I think what helps them become friends is their similarities AND differences because you don't need everything to be similar or everything to be different when you have a friend, you need a n equal amount of both so you get to know stuff from each other and you also get to know each other in a better way!!
Shezlin Hemnani to Antillia Matenda
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Antillia because I have posted the same thing as you except I added some more of my thoughts but I think some of our thoughts are the same and I think you are right, opposites do attract..... Great Job!!
Sankara Question 4
ReplyDeleteThe fury thinks Germany is the best and other countries are not and every German should stay in Germany. Since the fury thinks this he thinks French would be useless. The fury was rude and impatient. When the blonde lady was talking to Bruno and Gretel he kept yelling and whistling at her to come to the dinner table. he was rude because he went to the dinner table and sat at the head of the table he didn’t ask to go he wasn’t ask to he just went.
Shezlin Hemnani to Sankara
ReplyDeleteI ahree with you . Sankara because I think the Fury was very rude and impatient. The blonde woman was talking to Gretel and he kept calling her. I think he is acting like he is finally getting to eat after 10 years because of the way he is acting! LOL!

I think you are right Brendan. The Fury does seem very important. I also agree with you about him being rude. I think he said learning french is a waste of time because he wants every kid to learn and follow him.

I find your post very interesting. I like the part about the Fury being very polite. I never thought about that but now that I do I realize that at first he did seem very nice and polite but later on I start to dislike him very much.

ReplyDeletei agree with you at first he seems nice but since i knew he had ordered soldiers to kill lots of people i knew he was going to be mean later on

ReplyDeleteShekinah G. to Sankara O.
Sankara I do agree with you that the Fury is very mean and rude, he should be respectful to the blonde lady.I think he doesn't like French because as I had told Brendan he is "too full of himself!" and her is the leader of Germany.
William Badagard
ReplyDeleteQuestion 3
My first impression of Hitler is that he is very bossy, rude and inpolite because he just called Bruno's dad and invited himself for dinner and he didn't care if they had any plans. And he was pretty rude to Bruno and Gretel when he said "which is which"?
And when Hitlers says to Gretel about speaking french "yes, but why would you want to?"
It gives me a feeling of him thinking of himself as superior and world emperor. He acts very selfish and he seems a bit crazy too.
William
ReplyDeletecomment on Sankara!
I totally agree with you about Hitler being very rude and impatient. He didn't care about being polite or grateful, he just went in, sat down at the head of the table and started shouting at his wife. I do not like him at all!
Brendan Niebel
ReplyDeleteQuesion 2
Meeting Shmuel is disobeing the elders and grown ups by doing specificly doing what they told him what to do. Coming in contact or liking/making friends with the Jews.
Comment:I also agre that Hitler was rude and impatient
Comment:I agree with Sankara that Hitler thinks that Germany is he best.

ReplyDeleteQuestion2
Bruno and Shumuel have their similarities and their differences. One of the things they have in common is that they had a happy life before getting transferred to this area in Poland. However the boys aren't the same because Shumuel is Jewish and Bruno isn't. Shumuel is Polish and Bruno is German. The most important factors that help them become friends is that they share the same birthday and that are both nine.
Danyella Mulunda to Shezlin Hemnani
ReplyDeleteI agree with you when you said that Shumuel has gone through more harsh times than Bruno because it's true Shumuel is at a concentration camp but Bruno is at a nice home. You are also right when you mentioned that Shumuel is skinny and Bruno isn't because Shumuel doesn't get food. Great thinking I like you perspective.
Danyella Mulunda to Antillia Matenda
ReplyDeleteI liked your answer to question one about Bruno and Shumuel. However I didn't agree with you when you said that they are both very nice to each other because they occasionally have an argument where one of them gets kind of sad or quiet. In all great thinking.

I really like what you wrote about the common part that they both had a great life before coming to Out-With because no one had this point in their blog but only you mentioned it.

ReplyDeleteEmaan Dhrolia to Shezlin Hemnani
I really like what you wrote because the way you explained Shumuel that he was treated in a harsh way(unpleasantly) and Bruno wasn't treated like him,and I would like to give you a suggestion that Bruno has had many friends and Shumuel dint even have any friends even though there were many people on the other side of the fence and also that Shumuel dint play any of the games which Bruno played(football),but i did not write it on my post.
Durjaya Sharma to William Badagard
ReplyDeleteI like the point you made about Hitler inviting him self over for dinner and not caring if they had any planes or if they where going to do something. I also like when you said he acts like he is supreme ruler.
Thanks to everyone who liked my blog post! I really appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteDurjaya Sharma to Guy Soumah
ReplyDeleteI like what you said about if you don't like french you cant just go to someone and say why do you like french. Hitler should respect what other people like.
Chandni Shukla
ReplyDeleteQuestion 2
In chapter 11 we finally get to meet the fury. I personally don't like him because he thinks to much of himself. I understand that he is the ruler, but he still needs to have some respect for kids and adults. For example when he asks Gretel "Yes, but why would you want to?" It is not his concern if she wanted to learn french or not. Also the way he just invited himself to diner was very rude, what if they had other guests coming over! The other reason I hate him is because he anted to kill all the Jews.
Chandni Shukla to Danyella Mulunda
ReplyDeleteI think you have a great answer. You picked all the important similarities and differences. I think Bruno and Shmuel were very good friends because of these similarities.
Chandni Shukla to Shezlin
I really enjoyed reading your last sentences. You are very right that not everything has to be the same. I also agree on how Shmue has been through a lot more thn Bruno, but Bruno doesn't know that he thinks Shmuel's side of the fence is so much fun.

ReplyDeleteQuestion 1
There are a lot of different between Bruno and Shumel. First, Shumel is thinner then Bruno. Second, Bruno is from Germany and Shumel is from Poland. Third, they were treated differently. Last, Btuno isn't Jewish but Shumel is Jewish. And for similarly they were born in same day, same year, and they were living at same place. The most important factors that helped them became a friend are because of their similarities, the fact about Bruno loves to explore, and because Bruno gave him a food to eat every time that is why Shumel like Bruno as a friend.
Antillia to William
ReplyDeleteWilliam, I agree with you on the fact that the Fury is really rude and impolite. I do not think it wasw very nice of him to say that rude thing about speaking French to Gretel. He also thinks as if he was the mist superierior person in this whole world.
Antillia to Danyella
ReplyDeleteI absolutetly agree with your comments because I also wrote almost the same things. I think you have made a great point in mentioning the fact that many people left out, the fact that they are similar because they moved into the same country without wanting to.
Lee Min-Hyeok to Brendan
ReplyDeleteI agree with your perspective Brendan. Because the Fury does seem very important. I also agree with you about you don't like, beacause he is unpolite.

The Fury thinks German is the best language ever and no one that are Germans should speak french or maybe becausehe hate french people or he thinks french is hard horrible;ugly;durty language even if he speak it and i think he mostly speak french in a rude way to the blond woman to tell her to stop or to yell at her so much, that everyone hates it.!!!!!!!!!!!Looooooooooooooolllllll.
Aicha to Lee min-hyeok
ReplyDeleteI completly agree with your comment and i think the Fury is the most important person of the story and without him german was nothing and all of what happen did and it end really bad by the fault of Hilter by bringing them to Auswithz,where Bruno dead and life contunue>>>>.........<<<<--__--

The difference between shmuel and Bruno is that Bruno is german and Shmuel is jewish. Also Bruno is nice and fat and Shmuel is very skinny. Vthe similarity is that they are both born on the same day and also they like talking about the same things.
Karen Sereshgi
ReplyDeleteQuestion 1
Bruno and Shmuel are difererent, because first of all Bruno is from Germany and Shmuel is from Poland. Shmuel is a Jewish unlike Bruno who comes from a family that doesn't like Jews. Bruno is well fed and healty, but Shmuel doesn't get much food, is skinny and unhealty. There are also a few similarities between the two boys. They are both bon on the same day. They are both 9, and they are both boys. Some important factors that help them become friends are that bruno brings him food everyday. Also Bruno is interested in what happens on the other side of the fence where Shmuel is and Shmuel is interested in what happens on the other side where Bruno lives. I think what brings them together are their differences.
Karen Sereshgi to Shekina Githinji
ReplyDeleteI really like your comment. I don't really agree with you that what brings Bruno and Shmuel together. I feel that it is their differences that bring them together but then again everybody has their own opinions.

ReplyDeleteQuestion 1
I think Bruno and Shemul are different because they where different clothes like Bruno wears striped pj's and Bruno wears normal clothes. Also Bruno is german and Shemul is jewish. Also Bruno is wealthy but Shemul is poor.
they are simalar because they both live in Auswitz. Their birthdays are also simalar. I think what keeps their relationship strong is that they both need eachother like Shumel needs Bruno for food . Bruno needs Shumel so he can know more about the other side.
Karen Sereshgi to Durjaya Sharma
ReplyDeleteI realy like your comment. I agree with you, I used to thing the Fury was nice at the beginning of the book. When I found out the Fury was Hitler and he started the Holocaust then I didn't like him at all.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you that Bruno and Shumels relationship is because they need each other. Also their differences bring them together and like the way you described. I really like your comment.

They both are born on the same day, and they are 9 years old and their height were the same. Bruno is German and Shumel is polish. Their resemblance is the factor that helps them to become friends.

ReplyDeleteya i agree with the suggestion you gave me. they do not play the same games and also that Shmuel didn't have any friends except Bruno even though there were a lot of people on the other side of the fence! Bruno did have friends apart from Shmuel even though they were back in Berlin! Thanks for the suggestion!
