The Boy In The Striped Pajamas

In Chapter One of "The Boy In The Striped Pajamas," the reader is introduced to Bruno, the main character of the story. Bruno is a small 9 year old boy who lives in Berlin during World War 2. He comes home to find his housekeeper, Maria, picking his stuff up. Bruno learns from his mother that they are moving, and comes to the conclusion that this has to do with the fact that this has to do with the dinner with the Fury and the blonde woman last week. Bruno is going to miss his home, especially the staircase from which he would slide down the railing. He is also going to miss his friends, and is convinced from the beginning that he doesn't want  to move. Bruno here is shown to be a hard-headed person, showing that even though his mother tries to comfort him, he will not budge on his opinions about the move.
