In Chapter five of the boy in the stripped pajamas, Bruno reflects
on his last day at Berlin. He vividly remembers his mom in tears protesting to
his father that they should've never invited the Fury over for dinner. The Fury
referring to Adolf Hitler. Bruno also reflects on his trip to out-with, coming
in a very fancy train and then being driven over to his house. As curiosity has
it, Bruno is curious about the people he saw outside his window. His father is
a little startled and nervous that he can see people from his room but in less
than a few seconds, he regains his confidence and explains in a cold bitter
voice that those "people" are not human, that they are no people and
they do not matter so they should not be worrying him.
My personal
reaction to when his father said that these "people are not people was
very emotional. It made me a little upset and I do not think that is the
correct way to explain something to young Bruno. I think that the author did
this on purpose though to show Bruno's father bitter side, the side that he is
when he is not with his family. I think that was very cold of him to say
because they Jews had done nothing. I also think that the author did this to show a bitter
side of him and later show a softer side of Bruno’s father, at the end when his
father gets a taste of his own medicine. The pattern of organization for this
story is one of remembrance. The part of the flash back was on chronological
order and the story as a whole is kind of in chronological order.
