Again, Rudy stood up” (Zusak 297). When Rudy was asked the question “When is our Führer’s birthday?”, he continued to answer incorrectly to anger his Hitler Youth leader. When the two met on the street, a brawl began. At a disadvantage in size and strength, Rudy stood no chance, but he refused to give up. The obvious consequences to his act of bravery, or stupidity, did not phase him. “‘I’m not sure this is a good idea.’ He slapped some bread onto her palm. ‘Your papa did.’ How could she argue?

By placing bread in the middle of the street, Rudy was proving that he agreed with what Hans did by helping a Jew during the first march.

As much as the players were tired of hearing about how much they needed to work as hard as Rudy from their coaches, he showed them what it looked like to be fully committed. They practiced hard together and at every practice Rudy would get hit hard into the ground multiple times, but he always managed to get back up and keep playing.

As a parent explaining Rudy’s actions, I would tell him that your admiration for one athlete can be extremely exuberant but painting yourself his skin color in this time where prejudice of different people was very high, it clearly isn’t the smartest move.
