My connections to the book are mainly text-self connections for example, on page 22 where one of Gretel's friends called Bruno small, i hate it when people call me small and say that i am younger than i really am. I also have a connection on page 51. Bruno is talking to father in his father's office, then father interupted Bruno which for him is against the rules. My connections is that i hate how household rules never apply to grown-ups, if the parents try to enforce them well than its only fair that they follow the rules too. My last connection is also text-self on page 156. Gretel is in Bruno's room and he accidently says that he has a friend. So Bruno lies and says that its an imaginary friend so Bruno trys to hink of something that is embarssing, he thought of the time he forgot to lock the bathroom door and his grandmother saw him, or the time he put his hand up in class and called the teacher mother. My connection is that i did all those things too, except i walked in on someone in the bathroom.
My connections to the book is that when Bruno was moving houses, it really made me think of when i was little and i was moving from a nice house to a old wrecked up house because i can kind of relate to how Bruno feels about the changes that have been made to him. Another connection is when i heard that Bruno's family had a maid, it kind of reminded me also of the that maid service called Molly Maid. I don't know why but it kinda of made me laugh after i thought about. One last connection i had is when Maria (the maid) was packing up Bruno's suitcase for when they moved and he got mad at her. It made me think of when my mom packs my suitcase for when we go on vacation and she packs all of the wrong things.
My connection is Bruno thinks he is being shipped off ecause he has done something wrong. Just because he is moving. I can understand that because when I first moved I thought I had done somthing wrong. Bruno doesn't like the thought of having to move away. I didn't ether. I have had to move many times for my dads job and know how bruno feels. He doesn't have a clue about what his fathers work is. He doesn't know the pain he (Bruno's father) causes or the lives his father takes. Just because they are Jewish. His father seems like a good person who has just been brain washed by Hitler. I wonder why Gretel is such a hopeless case. I suspect it is just the average sibling rivalry. Little does she know her brothers fait, and a terrible one it is. The book the Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a great read and very riveting with friendship, horror, love and the heartbreak of the Holocaust.
my connection is when bruno finds out that he is moving, and he keeps asking his mother all these questions about the new house.i can connect to bruno because when I moved i was asking all these questions to my parents too. brunos mom finally said that is enough questions for now, i remember when my mom said that but i was to excited for the new house i couldn't stop asking questions. bruno is not a fan of his new home , i was not to excited to be moving when it got closer to the time , it was so stress full for me ! i have really enjoyed this book so far .
@curious- I like your connection it was really good, you said that you asked a lot of questions when you found out that you were moving. My text to your text connection is that i ask tons of questions about anything, even things that don't make sense, then my parents get really annoyed with me, and well then i stop talking. You did a good job on your connection, but next time edit for capital letters, other than that :)
@frost- I really enjoyed your connection it had detail and it was a good length. I personally did not think of the Molly Maid service, but after i read your post it made me giggle a little too :b. Good job!
@bill- I loved your connection it was really detailed and very good words too, next time edit your spelling a little more carefully, but great connection.
@Dr. Seuss's post to me- I am glad someone else knows how i feel about being short, it used to make me really mad, and sad, but now i love being small, and short. I embraced it and I LOVE IT!!!
My connection was when one of the soldiers called Bruno Little Man and I don't like i absolutly don't like it when people call me small because I am not that small. So i know what Bruno fells like when he gets called Little Man
@alexandria, I hate it when people call me little girl! It frustrates me! But, now I am used to being under average height, and like Cookie, I try to embrace being short. :P
@bill~ I can connect to you too. every time i got in trouble when i was little i always felt that my parents were going to send me off to some where and i would never see my parents again! i think it would be hard for bruno to understand what his dad does for work at his age. I like your detail and choice of words that you put into your connection. great connection!

I have a similar connection. When I go to visit my family everyone treats me like I am five because I am the youngest of my cousins. My older cousins are off talking and chatting in the living room. They watching TV and ignore me. Bruno is treated just like almost every other kid in the world. Its interesting to see how everyone feels about older people treating the younger ones.
