Ralf, Bruno’s father, was a soldier in the Great War (World War I), and is promoted to Commandant in the German Army by Hitler during World War II. He moves the family to Auschwitz, where he is in charge of the camp. Father is strict and intimidating, but expresses tenderness towards his family. He eventually consents to letting the family move back to Berlin, though he remains at Auschwitz to continue his duties for Hitler. A year after Bruno disappears, he figures out what happened to his son, and is destroyed by the realization. When the Allied soldiers come to take him away for punishment, Father submits to their demands, as he no longer has the will to live.

Bud uses his rules for both, but it's really based on your opinion. I personally think some rules are meant for physically surviving, and some rules are meant for thriving. For example, the rule "Gone = dead!" (rules #28) really helps him for both. But the rule "Don't ever say something bad about someone you don't know - especially around a bunch of strangers." (rule #63) helps him survive. He could get physically hurt by someone, and he's more likely to if it's about someone he doesn't know and doesn't know what that person is capable of. When I did this with "Bud, not Buddy", I said it helps him thrive more, but it's really based on your opinion! Hope this helped. <3
