Joshua Hosking’s Reviews > The Boy in the Striped Pajamas > Status Update

prediction is that the people like the Germany people might come to the camp and try looking for the people that are at the camp because at that time the Holocaust was happening and they were killing a lot of Jewish people so that's why I think they might come to the camp to try and search for the kids. I also think that the reason that they are at the camp is so they don't have to see all the stuff that ishappenin

POINT OF VIEW

The boy in the striped pajamas is the third person point of view. The story is from Brunos point of view. We know this because we learn what Bruno thinks, sees, feels but we don't know how the other characters in the story feel.

Protagonist

I think the protagonist is bruno because he is the main character and the book is told from his point of view. He is a 9 year old boy. He thinks about his home in Berlin and doesn't understand why he had to move. He thinks his new home is not nice. He is interesting in the people behind the fence. He feels lonely and sad and confused and bored. He misses his family and friends.

SETTING

The setting of the story takes place during World War II in the 1940's. It starts in Berlin, Germany where Bruno lived with his family before moving to a new house in Auschwitz. One scene we are at Bruno's new house at "Out With" by the concentration camp. This is during WWII in the 1940's. Bruno looks out his window and sees a fence on the other side he see lots of people wearing striped pajamas.

09/14

The genre of my book is historical fiction. It is historical fiction because it is a made up story that takes place during a real time in history. The real time in history was World War II and the Holocaust. I haven't read enough to know if there are any other genres in my book.

Bruno and his sister both don't like their new home. They call it "Out -With". They are both lonely and have no friends. Bruno shows his sister Gretel what he saw out the window. They see a lot of people behind a fence. All of the people are wearing the same clothes that are striped. They do not know what they are looking at. Bruno wonders about the people on the other side of the fence.

Bruno has to move because his dad got a important new job. He is not happy that he has to move from his home and leave his best friends. He doesn't know what type of work his dad has to do but it's an important job.
Bruno does not like his new house. There are no other kids by him to play with. He is lonely.
