Week 2 #2

 The boy in striped pyjamas is originally set in Germany, but by the 3rd chapter, the family has moved to aushwitz in Poland.The novel also briefly describes a forest behind the camp, but so far it has not gone into detail about this feature of landscape.

Week 2 #1

The boy in the striped pyjamas does not allure to a very obvious plot very early. Where I am currently up to, chapter 10, the book does not advance much further in the plot than discovering that Bruno has strong feelings against his new home in Poland. The main plot line clue that you find is when Bruno spots the camp for the first time. I think that the plot will revolve around Bruno finding the boy in the striped pyjamas inside the camp, which could have catastrophic outcomes.

Week 1

Currently the boy in striped pyjamas is not interesting me as much as I would like. It is not exactly drawing the reader int the book. The first chapter is pointless dialogue between the unreliable narrator and his sister and mother. At chapter 5, the plot starts to form with the narrator Bruno spotting aushwitz for the first time. With the unreliable narrating you can only assume it is auschwitz, it never actually uses the exact word. Another example of the unreliable narration is that Bruno refers to Adolf Hitler as the Fury, as he has obviously heard him referred to as Mein Fuhrer, My leader. All in all the boy in striped pyjamas is a not very enticing first few chapters.
