Chapter 3

On this chapter we get a closer look to Bruno and Gretel’s relationship. Bruno had already mentioned how he considered his sister a “hopeless case” and he has heard his parents refer to her as “trouble from day one”. He also mentions how Gretel’s friends or the monsters as he called them always bothered him because of his small size in comparison too other kids of the same age as Bruno. Later on I could relate to an action the main character did, because when he went to his older sister room Bruno started talking about how much he dislikes the new living arrangements; and I do the same thing as Bruno, that when I don’t like someone or a situation I start talking about it with several people so they can share my same opinion or idea. Finally there was something I didn’t quite understand and is that at some point Bruno mentions how he doesn’t like the kids that live near the new house, to what Gretel responds surprise since she didn’t knew there were other kids around. That’s when Bruno shows her something from the little window and her sister ends up astonished and sharing the same feeling as Bruno. But I guess that as I keep reading, my doubts would be solved.
