Bruno(Ending)

Finally, Bruno has developed so much towards the ending before he died(or at least it is implied). Firstly, when Mother wants to go back to Berlin, Bruno does not want to go, all he wants is the family to stay together. Pg. 190 states "I prefer all four of us to stay together" he said, reluctantly including Gretel in that,"Whenether that was in Berlin or Out-With". Bruno finally undestands the circumstances that his family is going through. Plus, it really brings out his love for his family(and even Gretel the Hopeless Case) about how Bruno says he wants the family to stay together, rather than thinking all about himself. Futhermore, Bruno's relationship with Shmuel strengthens as told on pgs. 212-213 "Actually...It doesn't matter I do or don't, they're not my best friends anymore, anyway". He looked down and did something out of character to Shmuel's tiny hand and squeezed it tightly."You're my best friend,Shmuel." he said."My best friend for life." This indicates that Bruno has moved on, and he finally found his "true best friend". He also said such kind words to Shmuel, and going out of his way, moments before both of them died. Also, Bruno risked his life to take a final adventure with Shumel in Out-With, even going as far as dressing in a pair of striped pajamas as a disguise(pg. 203). Bruno was very brave going through a concentration camp, just to help his friend. This shows what a true and compassionate friend he is, for risking his own life.
