I am very distressed about living in this dreadful place. I absolutely hate it; I can’t believe we moved from the best house EVER!!! With 5 floors if you included the basement and the top floor with the window where if I stand on the end of my toes I could see the whole of Berlin‚ to this place which I’m pretty sure is the worst house ever. I miss Berlin so much but most of all I miss you and grandfather. This house is really small too‚ and I mean it is tiny! It only has 3 floors which means there

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is an extremely powerful film. Although it is full of twists and turns‚ every single character has a different viewpoint.

I disliked the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas because I found that it achieved the opposite of its goal and sent the wrong message across.
