Log 3

 

                    I continued to read the Boy in the Striped Pajamas in these two weeks. Bruno still tried to persuade his parents, older sister, even the servant around him to back to their home in Berlin. He did not want to stay there. However, no one agreed with him. 

                    The reason why I choose to post the picture is because I want to share a sentence that Bruno’s father said, “The past is the past. Here we have a fresh beginning.” Bruno was keeping old friendships in mind, so do I. I totally understood why he always mentioned his friends and wanted to back to Berlin in this book. In Berlin, there were his best friends who could play with him. As a child, no one wants to be lonely.

                    Actually, I still do not know how does the new house like from the author’s words. In my opinion, maybe I am not a person who lived in the World War II. I do not know the time and space background at that time. Therefore, it made me realize an important point of reading. That is I should have a deep and familiar background knowledge about the book. It will be easier to understand the plot. Therefore, I decided to watch the movie which was adapted to the book before I read the following chapters. I thought it will help me to understand the plot better.
