"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne"
Chapter Six
Chapter Summary
Bruno was lying in bed when he spoke out loud, that helped him calm down about things. Just then, Maria came in. Once again, he started a conversation with Maria about going back home to Berlin. Out loud Bruno called his Father stupid. Maria stared at Bruno in horror and told him never to say that. She told him how her Mother took care and served his Grandmother. His Father took Maria in and even paid for her Mothers funeral, he provided shelter, clothes and food. After Bruno heard, he actually felt proud of his Father. Gretel came in and impolitely instructed Maria to run her a bath; then angrily left. With that, their conversation was over.
Reaction
Bruno does have a right to say his feeling out like. I disagree with Maria that he cannot speak his feelings and share them aloud. Everyone has the right to speak their feelings. However, I slightly agree with Maria and say that if it is something bad that someone would not want to hear then do not say it out loud.

Chapter Five "Out Of Bounds At All Times And No Exceptions"
"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne"
Chapter Five
Chapter Summary
There was one thing to it and that was to ask father. He had not left with Bruno and the family, instead Father left a few days earlier. On the last morning in the house, Mother stopped before leaving. Tears were forming in her eyes. She did not want to go. An hour after they arrived at the Out-With, Bruno still had not seen Father. Downstairs, soldiers were gathered in fathers Office trying, all at once, to get fathers attention. Before they left, all of them, including father; stood in a row together like toy soldiers and their arms shot out in the same way that father taught Bruno too salute, the palm stretched flat, moving from their chests up into the air in front of them in a sharp motion as they cried out two words that Bruno had been taught to say whenever anyone said it to him. Now, it was Bruno's turn to have a talk with Father. he spoke to him about moving back and lastly about the children outside his window. Father said that they were not people; at least not what they think people are. In one swift move, Bruno and Father stuck out their arms and said the two words Heil Hitler. Something Bruno thought, meant "Well goodbye for now and have a pleasant afternoon."
Reaction
Okay, Bruno should at least know who Hitler is. He should even know what heil is. I thought Father should at least tell the children the truth. The things that people are doing to other people.
