Plot the action
The climax of the story is clearly when bruno gets to the other side of the fence and bruno and shmul start to play and search for shmuel's dad. It is very stressful because you us a reader now what is happening because you know about the nazi situation and the holocoust. It is very good that the author shows the problem in the point of view of a very innocent kid that gets killed thinking that he is playing. This also shows that they didn't have their ideals clear because they killed a german, so baisicly they killed their own race.
