My Further reading endeavors
Just in case anyone is looking for more things to read, I will be reading “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” over break. This was another book that my group considered reading. It is currently being made into a movie, so I’m hoping to read it before the movie debuts. The premise is that a young German boy during WWII is exploring in the woods when he finds another boy about his age behind a fence. The boy is wearing “striped pajamas,” which the reader should infer to be a prison uniform. The book is supposed to be written from the German boy’s perspective. The real story of course is that the German boy is meeting a boy in a concentration camp, but from the boy doesn’t understand that that is what he is observing. I think that the book sounds very interesting, and I am looking forward to seeing the story of the Holocaust shown from a new viewpoint. The book is also very short and is supposedly easy to read. I also want to read Twilight over the break even though it has been banned from this class lol. I saw the movie and was surprised by how much I liked it, so I might have to read that too haha. Anyway, I hope that everyone is as psyched about reading as I am, and that you all do well on your finals. Hope everyone has a wonderful break, and that it doesn’t snow too much more here!
