My reactions to chapters 1-4
The first two chapters weren't as good as i had expected them to be, because it was kind of boring. I thought it was weird about the rules the children had, like not being able to yell in the house. But after the second chapter, it started to get interesting. I liked the part when Bruno looked outside of the window at the end of the hallway. He was so happy, because it was actually smaller than he was, and this made him very proud since he was always made fun of for being so small. I liked it how him and his sister started to get along and could actually agree on something. I feel bad for Bruno and his sister, since they had to move so far away from their other house, and move into the middle of no where. They were use to being able to be with friends and walk home with their friends after school. They were use to not being able to walk through the streets on Saturday because of so many people that roamed throughout the town. They had a beautiful and large house, and the house they live in now, is small, and plain. It is no where as interesting as their old house, and they don't have any friends. There is nothing to do or no one to play with. I feel bad for them, and i feel bad for all of the boys and men and grandfathers that are having to work inside of the fence that Bruno and Gretel don't know what it is exactly. When the both of them saw the people working and being yelled at, all they could do was watch in awe. They were left to think about what they just saw and try to think about what is going happening on the other side of that fence. So far i think the book is pretty good, i just hope it gets better over the next few chapters.
