This term we are reading “The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas” by John Boyne.
It is a book that has lots of themes and it explores these themes through the eyes of a 9 year old boy called Bruno. It doesn’t tell you exactly what is happening, instead it gives you clues and you have to work things out.
We have been learning a little about Germany, Hitler and the Holocaust to help us work out the clues in the book.
So far we have read 5 chapters and have learnt about the different characters.


This is what I think might happen in the book...

I think that Bruno will eventually discover that he lives near a concentration camp and that his dad works for the dreaded Hitler. I reckon that he meets a boy that lives at the concentration camp that the dreaded Hitler, wants to kill or get him to work as a slave. Bruno will probably try to stop the dreaded Hitler from killing people and get his dad to see reason about Hitler. Hitler will be stopped and the world will be saved from the dreaded Hitler.
