The Boy in the Striped Pajamas chapters 5-8

These chapters were more interesting than the first four chapters. These chapters were also somewhat sad. They were somewhat sad because Bruno didn't know what Heil Hitler meant. This is sad because he thought it meant goodbye. Another reason why these chapters were sad was because Gretel and Bruno first thought that Maria, the maid was just a servant so she had no feelings. This is sad because they think that some people have feelings and other people don't.

These chapters were more interesting because Bruno played on a swing. That made it more interesting because there was action in these chapters. It was also interesting how Bruno's grandfather and grandmother met. It is also interesting that Bruno likes to do magic tricks and Gretel likes to dance. I liked how his grandmother made plays for Christmas. This is why I found these four chapters to be more interesting than the first four chapters.
