Explanation:
The protagonist’s stage of identity development throughout the story is as follow:
At the beginning of the story, readers can find an identiy Moratorium or a crisis, when He states:
a) “You don’t mean we’re leaving Berlin?
b) But we had plans,” he protested. “Plans?” asked Mother, raising an eyebrow…”I’m sorry, Bruno,” said Mother, “but your plans are just going to have to wait. We don’t have a choice in this.
In the Middle of the novel, one can find that it is an identity foreclosure when the protagonist makes a guarantee to help Shmuel. This responsibility is communicated by Bruno when He states
a) Of course, “It would be a great adventure. Our final adventure. I could do some exploring at least.”
b) “And you could help me look for Papa,” said Shmuel. “Why not?” said Bruno.”
These sentences exhibit Identity foreclosure since it shows how Bruno was simply being an old buddy and didn't reconsider when his interest took the best of him to see the opposite side of the fence before he never observed Shmuel again.
Additionally in this piece of the story, the author needed to show Bruno's personality diffusion (which happens when the youthful doesn't make a pledge to a specific jobs, qualities, or objectives) expressing that:
Bruno was simply being a good friend and didn't reconsider when his interest took the best of him to see the opposite side of the fence before he never observed Shmuel again.
Toward the finish of the story, readers can discover Identity Achievement (which happens when the protagonist settles on an individual choice or responsibility) when Bruno stated:
“You’re my best friend, Shmuel,”
“My best friend for life.”
Shmuel may have opened his mouth to state something back, however Bruno never heard it… in spite of the disarray that followed, Bruno found that he was all the while holding Shmuel's hand and nothing on the planet would have convinced him to give up.
This was Bruno individual choice to not allow his friend to down and to remain consistent with his promise. In this end phase of the novel Bruno is a kid with his own mind.
