Chapter 2

Once Bruno arrives to his new house, he is extremely disappointed because his new residence is the opposite from his beloved home in Berlin. The new house is the only building in a big territory and is been describe to be an empty, desolate place, and as the loneliest place in the world with only three stories instead of five. Also the bedrooms are being described to be all together in the top floor, the servants sleeping in the basement, the ground floor being where the kitchen, dining room, and Bruno’s father office are located. I could see how upset and concerned Bruno was about their new living arrangements, since he dare to challenge her mom by telling her is a bad idea, and in those times kids where really respectful and even afraid of their parents. I can relate to the way Bruno was feeling, because when I change schools I also was really sad for having to leave my school and my friends behind and somehow disappointed to what came instead. And I felt just like Bruno’s mother told him, that sometimes we don’t have the luxury of thinking, there are always some people that make all the decisions for us. Also my mother was always telling me to, “make the best of a bad situation”, just like Bruno’s mother, so to take advantage of this new experience.
