Quote #10
[Bruno] didn't know what everyone looked so frightened about—after all, marching wasn't such a terrible thing-and he wanted to whisper to them that everything was all right […]. (19.1297)
In this moment, we really wish Bruno's parents (or some adult) had been honest with him. The fact that he feels no sense of danger while being marched by SS men certainly freaks us out. Not only do we know he's in a bad place, we know he's in for a bad ending.
