The Boy in The Striped Pajamas
John Boyne
Chapter one:
● Here Bruno is told by his mother that they are moving outside of Berlin to
Out-With. His father gets a new job and his family is moving with him.
Chapter two:
● They arrive at the new house which Bruno does not like, it is too small and there
is nothing to do around.
Chapter three:
● Here we meet Bruno’s sister Gretel who he agrees with that the house is no
good.
Chapter Four:
● Bruno and Gretel discover a camp behind their house with all men. They don’t
know what to think of it. They discuss if it is the countryside but agree that it is
not.
Chapter five:
● Bruno goes to his father to ask why they are in the no good house. His father
tells him that he was sent by the fury. And that Bruno has to make the best of
their new home. Then he asks his father who the people outside are. His father
tells him that they are not really people and that he shouldn’t worry about it
because it has nothing to do with him.
Chapter six:
● Here Bruno has a conversation with their maid Maria who he asks if she likes
their new house. Maria tells Bruno that his father helped her and that he must
be careful what to say about his father.
Chapter seven:
● Here Bruno makes a swing in a tree. When he is finished and he is swinging is
goes to high and falls off the swing and gets hit by the swing. He nearly faints
and is takes to the house by Pavel who cleans his wound on his knee. Later on
they chat a bit and Pavel tells Bruno he is a doctor which Bruno doesn’t believe at
first. When his mother comes home she tells Bruno to go upstairs and he hairs
her saying ‘if the commandant asks, we’ll say that I cleaned up Bruno’. Which he
thinks is unfair of her to take the credit like that.
