Why doesn’t bruno try to protect his friend when lieutenant kotler attacks shmuel

I think Bruno didn’t try to protect his friend when Shmuel is attacked by Lieutenant Kotler is because he was so scare of what Lieutenant did to the servant. Bruno didn’t have the courage to stand up for his friend eventhrough that he really did want to.
• Have you ever done something to a friend that made you feel bad or ashamed? How does shame and remorse figure into the friendship between Bruno and Shmuel? How does Bruno show his remorse?

Everyone makes mistakes and also did I. Right after Bruno answered Lieutenant, he felt ashame about his words. Bruno was too innocent, he didn’t know that eating a piece of chicken can get Shmuel to the punishment of death. As he felt to sorry for Shmuel, he was the one that insisted Shmuel to take the chicken and he was the one who didn’t tell the truth. In order to show his remorse, Bruno went to the place they usually meet and waited for Shmuel eventhrough that Shmuel didn’t show up for few days. But then he did, and that was when Bruno apologized to Shmuel. (He hesitated for a moment, not wanting to get sidetracked. He felt that he should say it one last time and really mean it. ‘I’m very sorry, Shmuel,’ he said in a clear voice. ‘I can’t believe I didn’t tell him the truth. I’ve never let a friend down like that before. Shmuel, I’m ashamed of myself.’ Pg 175, ch 15).
