In chapter 5 it starts off with Bruno listening to his father talking to some of his men about discipline and other things to do with the camp "Out-With". After the men leave Bruno goes down to his dads office to talk to him. When he get down there he starts talking to his dad about the move to the new house. Saying that it was a bad choice an they should move back. But his father disagrees with him. So the argue for a while going back and forth. Once the argument ends Bruno storms out of the office angry.

In chapter 6 Bruno talks to the maid about his father saying he is dumb. Right after he says that the maid yells at him saying that his father is very kind and to never say that. So Bruno says that he doesn't get how she can say that. So the maid tells him about what his father did for her when she was young and didn't have a job. Once she explained it to Bruno he said that he never knew that and was sorry for saying that.

Chapter 7 Bruno makes a swing to pass the time. After making it he starts to push him self off the tree but he was going too high. So he fell off the swing. His leg got caught on the swing though so Bruno was dragged across the ground scratching up his arm and knee. The butler ran over and helps him into the house where he cleaned and patched up his cuts. Right then his mother got home. So she sent Bruno upstairs to tell the butler that if anyone asks she cleaned him up.

Finally chapter 8 says why Bruno's grandmother is angry at his father. There really isn't much to this but it says that she feels it is her fault that Bruno's father is a nazi because she dressed him up like oone when he was young. And now that he is a real nazi she hates him for doing all of the things he does to the jews.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas Ch. 1-4

The book starts out with Bruno coming home to see his family packing. He is slightly angry that a maid for his family is packing his stuff and might find his things that he keeps for himself in the back of his wardrobe. He then asks his mother why are we packing. His mother tells him that they are packing because his father got a new job and are moving to a new house to make his job easier to commute to. So for a while it talks about how he loves his house and why he wants to stay. So he finally starts to pack. They finally leave the house and arrive at the new house. Bruno doesn't like the house because it is small with nowhere to explore. While he is unpacking his sister comes in and talks to him.When she goes away he looks out the window and looks to see what there is. After looking out he goes to his sister and talks to her about what he saw out the window. When she asks what he means he just walks to his window and she follows to see. When they look out they see the yard and a very tall fence with barbwire at the top of it. Past that there are people in stripes "pajamas" walking around covered in dirt. They think that the people are just poor and don't know why they are there. My reaction to this is that it is sorta funny that they have no idea that the people are in a concentration camp.
