The Boy in the Striped Pajamas Ch. 17- 20

Chapters 17 and 18 start with Bruno overhearing mother and father talking about going back to Berlin. And they both decide that the kids and mother should go back to Berlin and the father must stay because of the camp. Also in these chapters it tells that Bruno doesn't really care if they go back or not. It also says that Samuel's father is missing and he doesn't know where he is. So both boys decide to go and look for him on Samuel's side of the fence.

Chapter 19 and 20 is starts with Bruno changing into the stripes pajamas and going into the camp. When they turn up with no clues to find Samuel's father Bruno decides to go back to the house when they are both sent on a march, which no one returns back from. They are both walked up some starirs woth other people into a dark room. Then Samuel apologize to Bruno but bruno doesn't her it amont the noise. When chaos broke out. and then silence. But among it BRuno never let go of Samuel's hand even after death. Then in chapter 20 it is just about how no on know where Bruno when to. Until father goes to where they find Bruno's clothing and realize that he could get under the fence and then connects the dots to find out that he probally was killed in the camp. I have to say thought that this ending is just weard and creepy. But also very sad.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas Ch. 13-16

In chapters 13 and 14 it starts off with life as usual for Bruno with the occasional visits to Samuel. A bit later Lt. Kolter is with Bruno and his family and having dinner. When Kolter asks for some wine. But when Pavel went to fill his glass the bottle slipped and fell into Kolter's lap and completely dumped on his lap. Then Kolter got up and doesn't reallt say what happens next. Chapter 14 Bruno kept going to the fence to talk to Samuel. Most of this chapter is really not anything exepct that Bruno lies to his sister about not knowing Samuel and saying that he has in invisiable friend.

Chapters 15 and 16 satarts with Bruno apologizing to SAmuel for lieing about knowing him. After that it is just normal life until the mother fids out that the kids have lice and need to get treated. Gretil uses a shampoo to get them out and Bruno gets his head shaved. Over all these chapter aren't doeing anything execpt setting up for the climax.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas Ch. 9-12

Chapters 9 and 10 are about Bruno wanting to explore but having nowhere to explore. So he decides to go to the fence that his parents said not to. When arriving at the fence he finds a boy names Samuel. So he decides to talk to the boy. After introducing himself and getting to know him he goes back to his house for dinner and not to get in trouble.

Chapters 11 and 12 start to talk about how Bruno's father got the job at the camp. It talks about how they Fury came and was really rude to him and his family. After the explanation he goes back to his friend Samuel. Where he then asks him why he is on the other side of the fence. And Samuel comes up with an answer that he is on that side because he is a jew and the soldiers hate jews.
