Page 86-finish of the boy in the striped pajamas. SPOILER ALERT!!-The Second Paragraph!!!!
This book may have to be one of my favorites of all time. That is because how it was written, not full of action, just interesting conversations throughout the book. The whole book seemed pretty inocent and normal with the focus on Bruno and Shmuel's conversations. That is until the end when the book had an amzing way of leaving me unsettled and thinking about what just happened. I even had to read the last chapter again to catch all the detail!
I left off when Bruno felt like leaving Out-With. But one day Bruno decides to go exploring so he could leave his new boring house and as he walks for over an hour he notices a dot in the distance. It turns to a blob, a figure, and then a little boy. This boy is the first one he has seen since he has been in the town Out-With. Bruno is completely unaware what a concentration camp is, so he thinks Shmuel lives in a happy go lucky town that wears striped pajamas. Shmuel and Bruno start having conversations everyday. They both enjoy that because neither really has a friend besides each other now. Bruno is interested of what is on the other side of the fence, but Shmuel insists that he would hate it. (Shmuel knows what is going on at his camp, but he does not want to tell Bruno the Brutal truth.) Shmuel and Bruno talked together almost every afternoon for a year; except on days with. bad weather conditions Although Bruno's mom is having the least joy out of this place they have moved to. She argued with Bruno's dad heavily proclaming that "this is not the place to raise children". Mom did get her way, and now they are moving back to Berlin. But the problem is that his dad has to stay here in Out-With. Bruno's sister Gretel is very excited about leaving, but Bruno didn't remember anything about home, and he was unsure about leaving his new best friend Shmuel. Bruno has to leave regardless though. So after Bruno tells him the bad news, the boys dream up an adventure. An adventure where BRuno goes to the other side of the fence to help Shmuel find his papa. So he does that but as Bruno arrives at the camp, it is a lot worse that Bruno ever thought of, and he is wondering why his kind dad would run such a brutal place. But at that very time the Jews (along with Bruno) are marched into a big airtight chamber; the showers. But as Bruno and Shmuel are holding hands, being eachother's best friend forever. There is a release of gas in the room, gasps and screams ring through the air. Bruno is never seen or heard from again.

I like this book so far, because Bruno is in a weird situation that he does not like. It will be interesting to see how he deals with it.
Bruno is living in a wealthy family with a big, big house in Berlin. Bruno get everything he wants until one day. The family decides to move out of Berlin to a small town called Outwith. Bruno has never experienced something that he did not want to do. He argued with his father yelling saying he wanted to go home but it was no use. In the small town in the middle of nowhere there are people camped in huts outside Bruno's window that appear to be prisoners. Bruno is meeting new people in this town and he is starting to feel a little better. Bruno is still wondering why his really nice and caring father brought them to this place. His father said it was the best thing for the family, but Bruno is thinking of running away because nothing good is going on for him.

Pgs. 324-Finish of The Perfect shot. (Read my first 4 posts to understand this one.) SPOILER!!

I have really liked this book. It is one of the most exciting books I've ever read. It is one of the most gory, intense situations I have ever read about. But I could not put the book down during the last major scene of the book, it was awesome.

Brian is arriving home from the outstanding game he had earlier that night. He was settling down getting ready for sleep with not a bad thought in his head. As he is getting ready to go to sleep he realizes his phone is in the hallway so he gets up to get it. He swears he hears footstep though and he soon hears yelling from his parents room. The next thing he know he sees the killer face to face, the murderer of the Daine family. Brian's dad comes into the hallway with a shotgun yelling get out of the way Brian!!! The killer gets shot by Brian's dad bet he is very much alive. Brian runs and reaches for the murderer's gun and he gets it, but the killer still has a spare gun in his jacket. Two gun fires go off at the same time, the killer dies instantly but the questioon is, where did Brian get hit. The ambulance comes to the house and Brian isnt sure if he is dead or not. Brian starts to have a feeling that he is starting to go to heaven but then the medical person said he was getting his blood pressure back, and it turns out Brian will live, with only a shot that knicked his lung . Brian has a lot of long months of rehabs before he can return to basketball. But Brian has decided to make the most of his life before he joins Amanda.
