Week 4

Some books that I would recommend to people who enjoyed the boy in the Striped Pyjamas:

The Diary of Anne Frank

This novel is a similar genre of book and is sad yet compelling to read, based on a true story about a Jewish family in hiding during World War II. 

The Hunger Games Series

These series are action packed novels that transport you to a world of violence, leaving you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end.

Parvana

A novel about the life an Afghani child telling her story about her very restricted lifestyle and struggles throughout.

The Adoration of Jenna Fox

This page turning novel is one of my personal favourites. It is a mysterious and compelling book that keeps you guessing. This book is about Jenna and her unearthing the truths about herself.

Week 4

Unfortunately Shmuel and Bruno were unsuccessful and failed to find Shmuels father, as Bruno decided to leave Shmuel for the day to go home and have dinner. That night Bruno felt like an un loyal and selfish friend for leaving Shmuel to worry about his dad.

Bruno kept thinking what more could he have done to help, planning startergies in his head. The next day after class Bruno as he usually did, went to the kitchen and snuck some food under his jacket and ran off to see Shmuel again. 

Bruno was excited but sad at the same time as he knew this was his last day he would walk along the long bared wired fence say his goodbyes to his best friend Shmuel. Bruno noticed the closer he got to the spot Shmuel and him would meet the more he realised that no one was waiting for him. Bruno stood at the fence looking into the area trying to spot Shmuel and wondered why he was so late. He stood there for a short time period and decided that Shmuel must of been busy or had just accidentally forgotten. So Bruno decided to leave the food next to the fence with a letter saying his goodbyes. 

As Bruno walked back along the fence to home he had realised that Shmuel was not only his best friend but also like a brother to him and he'd hope one day he would be able to come back and catch up with Shmuel and ask him why he wasn't at the fence that very day.
