Chapter 4 Summary: Assignment: obnoxious!

The chapter 4 is about Bruno and Boots trying to solve their problem with the punishment that the head master Mr. Sturgeon or the “Fish” gave them, because they both ate to be separate and they hate to their new roommates, Bruno and Boots have problems with Elmer and George because they have strange habits, if we speak about George, he gets angry when Boots wakes up with his morning sneeze because he thinks that Boots is spreading many germs inside of the room and after that he begins to act like a maniac and cry while wheeling out a large screen and placing it in the room between the two beds and putting a sign that says quarantine in the Boot’s side.

For Bruno the problems were different because Elmer always has the routine of setting the clock’s alarm at the 6:00 a.m. making a lot of noise and waking up Bruno very early to an hour that Bruno was not accustomed, and when Bruno wanted to prepare to the breakfast he tried to get close by opening the drawer but he notice that Elmer had plants inside of the drawer and Elmer said that also one of his many interests was the world of the plants besides the insects and fish world. Bruno get to the cafeteria earlier because of Elmer’s alarm and the women in the kitchen thought that he was a new student because Bruno have never gone to the cafeteria that early, Bruno took a lot of food and because of hat he got sick and started to feel very bad in the class, Boots also was in the class but in the other side of the classroom to keep them separate as the head master Mr. Sturgeon ordered.

Bruno and Boots were very upset because of the fact that he weren’t allowed to associate and meet each other, but Bruno had an idea; he said that if they bother too much to their roommates maybe they get very upset in order to make them go with Mr. Sturgeon and make them asking for another roommate and with that get together again.
