Chapter 14

1) We get the feeling that Bruno is becoming less innocent and more ignorant because he is becoming jealous of what Shmuel gets to do when he gets all the things in the world
2) It starts raining which just re-minds us how sad the holocaust really was. Also at the same moment Pavel is becoming very weak and Shmuel is getting beaten inside the camp
3) He accidentally mentions Shmuel and how he doesn't get to see him because of the rain
4) Bruno is able to consider Gretel's feelings as he thinks that she too must feel bored at Auschwitz as all she has to do is rearrange her dolls when she would be able to play with her friends back in Berlin. He then feels that he should talk to Gretel as they are both bored.
5) He wants to feel good about himself because he found a friend while Gretel didn't. This is very selfish because Bruno is actually doing the wrong thing and he is also lying to his sister
6) Bruno begins to put the pieces together and recounts the stories in which Shmuel tells him and releases how sad Shmuel's story is about his grandfather and that he can't be found within the camp. He begins to lose his innocence and understand Shmuel's point of view rather than trying to relate his view with his own. He also becomes more sensitive to others feelings rather than his own and begins to realises to listen to others
7) It ironic and hypocritical that Gretel should say not to play with imaginary friends when she still plays with her dolls even though she is 13 years old
