hello and welcome to my blog post! for term 1 and a little bit of term 2 my class did a novel study on the boy in the striped pyjamas and in this blog post I will write about the themes of the book.
the first theme is changing relationships as in how peoples relationships in the book change overtime. For example karl daniel and martin nd Bruno they used to be best friends but then Bruno moved and he started to forget their names! so ill write what I think about some of the relationships in the book starting with Bruno and his three best friends Karl Daniel and Martin. I think that if they were really best friends then Bruno would not forget their names so quickly and maybe never if they were real best friends therefore I don’t think their relationship with Bruno was very strong and I have a feeling that maybe they were a trio in the group of four and maybe the three of them didn’t really like Bruno as much as each other.
the next one is bruno and Gretel. At the start Bruno and Gretel were typical siblings, always fighting never being kind to each other, calling each other names etc. but towards the middle and end the two grew closer as they both did not have any friends at out with (Auschwitz) and also Gretel was miserable when there was an incident with Bruno therefore they were not really best friends for life.
I hope you liked my blog post about the boy in the striped pyjamas and I really recommend the book!
