What Is The Boy In The Striped Pajamas
The book I choose to read was “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” by John Boyne. This story takes place over in Berlin, Germany during WWII. The father is a commander for the Fury German army, so he moves his whole family right down the road from a concentration camp. He is married with a son Bruno and a daughter Gretel. The kids are unhappy about it and are confused on why they had to leave their home. When they move into the new house, the kids are told they are not to wonder off far from the house.

Bruno tells Shmuel this information on one of his regular visits, Shmuel gets upset and tells Bruno he can’t find his father. Both boys start talking about someday getting to play together. They come up with one last adventure where they can hang out together before Bruno must move away back home. There last adventure is Bruno helping Shmuel find his father in the concentration camp. For this to work Shmuel steals some striped pajamas and a cap that Bruno must wear so the soldiers don’t spot him. When Bruno shows up for their afternoon visit he changes into the pajamas and puts on the cap to match Shmuel. Bruno crawls underneath the fence, the boys set off to find Shmuel’s father.
As they are searching around to find Shmuel’s father it starts pouring down rain, Bruno gets worried and wants to leave. They hear the soldiers blowing their whistle so they start marching. Bruno is confused, but Shmuel tells him not to worry the marches don’t last long. Everyone, including both boys are marched into a gas chamber and killed. The German soldiers goes searching for him everywhere, but no one can find him they only stumbles on his pile of clothes that were left
