The Boy in the Striped Pajamas ch. 9-12

The book is slowly becoming more interesting.  I kind of feel bad for Bruno because he is just plain miserable when he first moves into his new house.  I don't think it's fair that he is forced to learn when he doesn't want to.  Especially only when one subject is emphasized.  I would have loved to explore the house in Berlin especially when I get lost.  i love it that he is disobeying his parents by exploring in the direction of the camp.  I love how the dot became a speck that became a blob that became a boy phrase.  I love it how even though their parents are enemies they still see each other as equals.  I would have felt so awkward if I met Shmuel when exploring.  I like how you know the history of Bruno's life in regards to why they moved.  It was very interesting.  I want to know how the Fury got his name.  i completely agree with Bruno when he says that the Fury was a very rude guest.  I don't the Fury's sense of humor.  The girl who came with the fury was very nice.  She at least recognized the children and talked to them.  It is kind of cute how they don't know what the symbols mean that they draw on the ground.  I would love to know what would happen if Bruno came back with the Star of David on his arm.  The story of Shmuel is sad because his life changed just because of his religion.  I would have done they same thing, not tell my parents about Shmuel.

I agree that the chapters are getting interesting. I agree with you that it isn't fair that Bruno has to learn subjects that he doesn't want to learn. I think if a person is learning two subjects then the people learning the classes should choose what they learn.
