Book Report on The Boy in The Striped Pajamas

   

    This week I read a great book called The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. The book is about a wealthy boy named Bruno who lived in Berlin in 1943 but moved to another house because his dad worked in the military. The new house wasn't as big or as clean as their house in Berlin. Right next to their new house was a concentration camp where Bruno met a boy his age named Shmuel who became his best friend for life. A year later Bruno had to go back to Berlin to live, so on the last day in their old house Shmuel gave Bruno a pair of striped pajamas. Bruno went on the other side of the fence by crawling under the fence because he promised Shmuel he would help find his dad in the concentration camp. While he was there he had to go marching and he got killed. I think that the main idea is that everyone in the concentration camp was treated awfully.
    The people in the concentration camps were treated awfully. One example of this is when it said, It seemed as if all of the soldiers were laughing and all the people in striped pajamas were sad and looking at the ground. Another example is when it said that when the soldiers told a group of people to line up some just fell to the floor and the guards just had to drag them off. This proves that people in the concentration camps were treated horribly.
    The next two examples will show how badly people in the concentration camp were treated. One example is when they had to go on a march, some people in the back couldn't do it so the soldiers shot them. Another example is that when Bruno put his hand up to Shmuel, his was really big compared to Shmuel's showing that Shmuel was starving. Also Shmuel said that he only had chocolate once before. This means that he didn't get much food. These facts from the book prove that people in the concentration camp were treated awfully.
    In conclusion, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas shows many examples of how people in the concentration camps were treated horribly. It also proves that Bruno didn't know about the war and didn't know really what the soldiers did to the people in the concentration camps every day and how unfair and cruel the soldiers were.
