The boy in the Striped Pajamas ch. 17-20

It is very interesting how Bruno now doesn't want to go back to Berlin, especially when he hated leaving Berlin.  Also how the mother really wants to leave Out-With.  It's funny how Bruno has to cover up the truth because it slips out.  Now he does it to father.  It is sad that Bruno now has to go tell Shmuel that he has to leave him.  It is so sad that through all of Shmuel's suffering's he had to lose his papa.  It is very moving when Shmuel says, "I hate them too.  I hate them.' he repeated forcefully."  The boys plan is very interesting.  I think that it rains way too much in Out-With.  Bruno's reaction was t=just the way Shmuel had predicted.  I would of hated changing in public especially since my family was near and a whole bunch of people close by.  I hate the feeling of mud between my toes.  Knowing what the camps were like, I found it amusing that Bruno thought it would be similar to a small German town.  I would be in "pain" if I heard the gunshots and knew that people were killed.  I was devastated the bruno died, or at least that what we are led to believe.  I wish that Boyne could t=have givin more detail on their death.  i didn't like the ending of this book.
