Freidrich

Friedrich, by Hans Peter Richter, has 138 pages. This book is about the Holocaust and is very sad. It learned alot about the Holocaust. If there is someone who wants to learn about the Holocaust I would definately recommend it! Even though it was very, very sad, I really loved it!

The Boy In The Striped Pajamas

The Boy in The Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne, has 240 pages. This book is about a young boy named Bruno. In the beginning of the story Bruno, his sister, Gretel, and his parents live in Berlin, Germany. But, Soon, he and his family move to Auschwitz, just one of the many concentration camps in Germany. While out exploring he meets one of the Jewish children in the camp. His name was Shmuel. When Bruno gets curious about the other side of the fence, Shmuel needs help finding his father. A quote that would really fit this book is "Curiosity killed the cat".



Bruno is committed. He is committed in many ways. One of them is when Bruno commits to his three best friends for life. Even though he ends up moving and never seeing them again. He is also committed when he is on the other side of the fence helping Shmuel find his father. Even though he is very scared and wants to go home, he stays to help his friend before he leaves. Unfortunately, he never gets the chance to get back on the other side of the fence. I thought the book was kind of boring, so I probably wouldn't recomend it.
