The boy in the striped pajamas ch. 5-8

It is weird how the boy keeps on regretting that they moved.  It has happened, move on with your life.  i would hate it if we had soldiers going in and out of my families house like they were residents their as well.  The conversation that Bruno had with his father was interesting.  I would have been scared to even knock on my father's office door, if it was out of bounds.At least to me talking to my father like that would have made me feel a little bit awkward.  I applaud Bruno for being able to talk to his father.  I was so mad and so sad when the father "made" Bruno solute and say "Heil Hitler."  Knowing what that stood for I felt a shudder going down my back because a nine year old just said it and thought he was saying goodbye.    It would be weird to talk to your hired help about your problems.  I can't believe that Gretel could treat Maria like scum.  Here Bruno is understanding that she is another human who has feelings and his older sister is spoiled.  She won't even start her own bath.  The swing that Bruno makes is very creative.  I would have done the same thing, that is swing too high and fall.  It's nice how Pavel helped him with Bruno's injury.  I was so mad at the mother and her selfishness.  She shouldn't have gotten credit for helping Bruno with his injury.  I would have liked to see their productions around Christmastime, and the singing from grandmother.  I found it interesting that the grandparents are for the Jews while their son is supporting Hitler.  The boook is slowly getting better.
