In writing we learnt about a information report. Miss Lowans our teacher said we can work with a buddy to make a information report i worked with sapphira. This is our information report we made.

We recently learnt about Mood, Atmosphere and different types of characters. We learnt this while reading the story “Boy in the striped pajamas” which is a story about the German strike on the Jews. Shortened, Mood is the feeling of the reader when something happens, the Atmosphere is the feeling of the physical location in the book. The protagonist is the main character in the story who have to avoid obstacles and evolve and learn lessons from the antagonist who is the one opposing the protagonist and is doing almost anything intentionally or unintentionally to stop the protagonist from carrying on. Round characters are characters with more emotions and more active and act like people more than others, and finally flat characters are characters who have low screen time and don’t act that much and only have 1 episode or chapter where they effect the story in a way.

For todays Activity me and my group disccused this word called Malapropism, Malapropism means your pronouncing a word uncorrectly, For example Out With is not pronounced like that it is more like Aushwitz

The rain non stop. For several weeks the rain turned on and off, Since this was happening Bruno couldn’t see Shmuel. Although Bruno wanted to see Shmuel he just grabbed one of his favourite books and went to read. But Lieutenant Kotler was in the living room, Then Bruno walked through the door to the living room Lieutenant Kotlor snatched the book out of Bruno’s hands and started to ask him questions about the book but Bruno didn’t want to say anything so he just said “there is a island with treasure on it” and Lieutenant Kotlor just Thought he was getting smart to him.  Bruno  glanced. “Why are you so serious?” He asked.

Why do you ask?

Lieutenant Kotler glimpsed at Bruno. 

He panicked, Gretel stared directly at her brother. The secret almost slipped out, so Bruno developed his own story. Although his heart was hammering wildly, he claimed he had an imaginary friend. The cold afternoon and rain rattled the window and the suffocating guilt of denying his sister twisted inside of him. A dangerous trap. 

“What is his name?” Gretel laughed harshly. Would she notice the lie? He swallowed, put up an act, and spun another elaborate act. He saved his secret but felt the sting of betrayal.

Hands trembled, Lieutenant Kotler yelled across the room. Pavel tried to pour the wine carefully, but his grip slipped. Because the soldier’s face turned bright red with rage, Bruno froze in his seat. The heavy fork clattered loudly against the plate while the terrifying sound of furious footsteps echoed brutally through the tense dining room. Fear was invited.

“Look at what you’ve done!” shouted Kotler in a state of rage. Would anyone step in to stop this cruelty? Bruno squeezed his eyes shut, Gretel gasped in shock and father didn’t dare to make a move. The sudden explosion of violence changed the quiet dinner table.

Shmuel hesitated, he stared blankly at Bruno. He wanted to explain but the memories hurt too much. Although Bruno was waiting eagerly for a reply, Shmuel struggled to find an answer. The cold wind whipped sharply and violently through the barbed wire fence, harsh shouting of the soldiers in the distance echoed throughout the dull army camp. Pure sadness.

“An army took us away“ Shmuel mumbled softly. 

Would Bruno ever truly understand the nightmare of this place? He remembered his own home, missed his beautiful room, and grieved for his lost life that died a long time ago. Bruno finally understood the sadness of his friend and how there’s darkness in light and there’s always a secret behind anything.

I stared carefully. Gretel stood silently by my side. We both stared out the window, and we talked about the awful things we could see. While we were looking outside, we could see people who looked injured and children who looked like they hadn’t taken a bath in weeks. As we watched them, we could see the kids huddle together while getting yelled at by the soldiers to form a straight line. Uneasy silence. Seeing this made me feel uncomfortable, but all Gretel could talk about was, “Those kids look like they have never taken a bath.” Why are these kids facing such actions? Gretel sighed loudly, turned away from the window, and walked to her room shutting her bedroom door behind her. I took a step back and sat on my bed as a lot of things were going through my mind.

Dearest Grandmother,

I am writing to you from our new house in Out-with. I dislike our new house very much. It’s emotionless and empty. I used to have friends to play with, and our faces always lit up with laughter, but now I have nobody. I usually observe a strange camp outside, yet I do not fully understand what is happening. I was so happy there until now in this new house. All the houses are very close and they all look the same. It’s strangely weird and feels off. I don’t understand why we have to move our house in Berlin. It was perfectly fine, but why does my dad think it’s for the best? Father doesn’t give me many reasons about the move because his work is important. The people here seem different compared to the ones in Berlin. I can sense that it feels controlled here and invaded. Gretel tells me not to complain, but I feel so out of place, so I just dream in my head that everything is masked emptiness and actually true happiness. It’s so colourless and dull. I miss you so much, please write back. I hope I can come visit you if I can. I hope you enjoy yourself in Berlin and hopefully enjoy your day. 

Love you always, Love from Bruno.

We unpack carefully. Gretel walks across the hall with dolls. Her toys seem immature for a 12-year-old, but they are popular these days. Although this is a small house, my sister seems to enjoy it. It smells of old dusty wood and caramel candles in this house, and the boxes of stuff bring a familiar scent from the old house. Very squished. “Bruno, go help your sister!” my mother yelled. “Why was this house so isolated?” I thought to myself. I barged into my sister’s room, found her lazily searching through boxes, and watched as she suddenly acted serious. I hesitated to tell Mum, but I decided not to, and then I heard something.

Their world shrunk. They stood idle observing everything out of that window. They watched the people so they theorised. Gretel was asking . Bruno was shocked because he only saw sons, dads, grandads and a few uncles. Bruno was asking so many questions and kept on assuming what could be behind the big tall fence, and Gretel didn’t know what to say to him because it might hurt. He thought it was a farm but he said “ There’s no way we can grow things in that dirt and if it was a farm  won’t we hear of animals ” said Bruno. Only concern.

“What do you think is behind the fence Gretel?” asked Bruno. Instead of replying to Bruno Gretal just jumped up and left and said to Bruno “ Don’t be noisy and hurry up  and unpack your boxes. 

He thinks that Gretal knows what they are doing but she won’t tell Bruno what it means to be on the other side of the fence. 

We have created a DLO about Perspective and Contrast, Contrast is like the oppisite or something that is exstremly diffrent, Perspective is how yo view something or how you understand it, this was really fun, something i enjoyed was understading what it means.

LS2 is reading a book called The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. After reading the first chapter, the class had an assignment to create a DLO (which usually stands for Digital Learning Object or some kind of project) answering questions based on that chapter. They had to think about what the best answers were. The student enjoyed making the project and is excited to read the rest of the book.

Bruno sprinted. Gretel’s dolls laid scattered on the ground. Gretel commanded for him to leave, but Bruno dismissed that idea. Bruno felt suffocated because of the tall fence surrounding the area. Bruno stared at the surrounding area around them talking about their kids. Gretel was confused and asked Bruno for what kids he had approached but she didn’t know about any children. Pure suspense. 

“Bruno, what kind of kids? “ Gretel asked. Why was he not replying to me? He marched, he whistled, and he came back. Bruno then broke the silence staring out the window while they were in awkward silence.

 A new life uncovered. My feet were hesitant. I could hear the dusty floor echoing. Maria unpacked my possessions, and I felt a little uncomfortable. Although my father looked pleased, I didn’t consider this place home. The smell of old wood filled the dusty air while the distant sound of talking echoed through every empty room of the house. Extreme isolation. “Can you help Maria unpack your belongings?” Mother said. Why was my life being put behind grey walls? I stared at the empty shelves, sighed at the mess, and turned my head away. He realised he can’t do anything to change reality.

Dearest Grandma

Greetings, I am writing from the new house.  It is not the same anymore.

This place is very different from Berlin.  There was always silence, no laughter here, no hidden corners to explore, and no friends to call my own.  I could see children and older people outside from my window. They seemed so thin and unwashed, looking nothing like the people back in Berlin with clean clothes, faces and neat hair.

Berlin felt full of life unlike out-with, yet father still decided to move to this isolated, miserable, lifeless home.

I miss our big house. I used to be able to play with my friends that lived right next to me, but now there is no one left to share a laugh with.  The streets would be filled with people taking strolls, walking dogs, and here no one, nothing  walks these streets besides silence.

I’m unsure why Father decided to come here other than a raise in his job, that’s what Mother explained to me. I was expecting a grand home and a more comfortable home, not this small and quiet three story home. It’s so outdated and dull. 

There is a big sign at the front that spells out “Auschwitz” and big trains that pass through. With skinny people who board, I’m not sure why all these people look so dirty and hollow but I’m sure that the soldiers have something to do with it.  The soil that seemed to surround our house looked unpleasant so, nothing could be planted there.

I miss you, please write back when it’s possible Grandma, and I hope things in Berlin are good.

Love from Bruno.
