    The dewdrops on the grass glistened in the morning light. A slight breeze rustles the branches of the trees. The green hill against the baby blue sky was a splendor: the scene was pure bliss. Amidst that perfect scene‚ a boy sits by the fence‚ his gray uniform making him protrude from the scene. He stares off into the distance‚ contemplating. He could‚ for one‚ run off and escape. Or he could stay and endure the pain. He feels the breeze pick up‚ but with it‚ something foreign came along with it:

At the conclusion of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas‚ I found myself feeling bad for the German boy. Instead of portraying the cruelty of the Germans‚ the movie made me feel sorry for the German family‚ forgetting that they were responsible for much of

I was at his house one day after school and we were watching something on TV‚ sitting on the sofa together. There were some potato chips or pretzels
