The Boy in the Striped Pajamas The movie‚ “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas‚” was a very interesting but sad movie. It made me think about how children really don’t see a lot of things and how they are very innocent.

But by then‚ many people had died‚ or became survivors without

The Boy In the Striped Pajamas‚ is a book about two children that were enemies‚ but at the the end‚ they became friends. Throughout the book‚ I describe Bruno as playful ‚and smart. I described Bruno as playful‚ because he loved to play with his old friends before he moved to his new house in Berlin. Once he got to his new house in Berlin‚ he didn’t have no one to play with‚ than he asked Pavel to create a swing with an old tire. Once Pavel was done with the swing‚ he started swinging by himself
