talking about Shmuel to anyone might have been a problem for Bruno because then his parents will know that his not staying at the specific area his parents told him to be. they might even kill shmuel or try and find the place where Bruno is going.
she is a small girl 11 years old, who wears an old fashoned gown, with blond hair and tight pigtails in her hair.
When Bruno and Gretel look out their window in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, they see Jewish prisoners following orders inside the Auschwitz concentration camp.
he tells gretel that there is a boy on the other side of the fence which he is friends with. gretel says 'do not be friends with any one on the otherside of the fence because they are bad jews'

When Shmuel is in the Commandant's house polishing the glasses, Bruno walks in and after talking he gives Shmuel something to eat. When Lieutenant Kotler walks in and asks Shmuel if he had taken some food, Shmuel answers that his friend(Bruno) gave it to him. Bruno felt pressured by Lieutenant Kotler's questioning of their friendship, so Bruno said he didn't know Shmuel. Because of Bruno's lying, Shmuel got into trouble.

When Bruno first sees Shmuel, he is struck by Shmuel's appearance, noting his thinness and the fact that he is wearing striped pajamas. Bruno is initially curious but also somewhat confused about why Shmuel is on the other side of the fence. Despite their differences, he feels a sense of intrigue and a desire to understand Shmuel better, setting the stage for their developing friendship.
