Reading Journal for: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
1st thought:
Page 107
I thought the conversation between Bruno and Shmuel was very...sweet. When Shmuel was asking Bruno those questions about what he found. "Have you found any thing? asked the boy.'Very little.' 'Nothing at all?' ' Well, I found you." It made me ask myself, Who is on the correct side of the fence? Who is the one in charge? Why is Shmuel so sad?
2nd thought:

Later on in the chapter when Bruno is talking with Shmuel he was talking about Germany about how they are superior. "Well, because Germany is the greatest of all countries,We're superior." I was thinking, Are they really superior? How did they get to the top? Did they defeat the other countries or did they just kill them all? Was it a good thing to do that? Was it Hitler who did all of this?
3rd thought:

"Why are there so many people on that side of the fence?' he asked. 'And what are you all doing over there? Do all those people have a choice being there? Can any of those people escape? Are they really in Poland? I just thought how sad it was how Bruno doesn't know what's going on and thinks that everything is OK. But in a general view, it is not.
This is true I find it kind of sad that Bruno knows nothing about what the Germans, including his dad, are doing to the Jews. To answer some of Bruno's questions in the third noticing, the people are behind the fence because they're Jews,nobody has a choice of being there, and they can't escape.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the 2nd thought. Poor Bruno. He's in his own little world.
