The boy in the striped pyjamas!

The two most important persons in the book are the boy Bruno and his father. My first impression of Bruno was that he was serious and always wants a clear answer. Bruno always asks why if he doesn´t understand the answer he gets. This bugs his mother of and sometimes she gets really angry. Bruno has got a problem, he wants to be polite but he still has to be honest to himself. Because of this a problem occurs, since his mother and father use strange sentences and words to describe things Bruno usually don´t understand and have to ask again, and sadly this is considered rude . Like the argumentation with the father, he says what he really thinks about living in Out-whit. The father you haven´t heard that’s much about so far in the book. It feels lite Bruno and the father is living totally different lives. The only time they talk to each other is in the father’s office. He is a really busy man, and as far in the book he seems like a strange and strict man. I don´t really like him.
During whole chapter 2, Bruno was complaining about the new house and I think that he will keep complaining a few chapters ahead. Finally I think Bruno will accept his situation and try to do the best out of it. In the very end of chapter 2 it says “something made him very cold and unsafe”. I presume that this is something that will get the story going and since it made Bruno feel cold and unsafe it is probably not a good thing. So my guess is that Bruno will start to explore and visit this place and that he won´t like what he finds. In the other hand Bruno might keep away from the lace but I don´t think so because then the book wouldn´t be that exciting.
The father will probably not do very much the following chapters since he has a lot of work to do. I think that the father will play a more important role in the end of the book.
