            The Boy in the Striped Pajamas,by John Boyne, is a very sad book of an unexpected friendship.In the story, a boy named Bruno constantly expresses his naive and curious feelings towards others.Young Bruno was just moved from his comfortable five-story house into a new smaller house do to his dads new job.  One day, Bruno decides to wander off to a tall fence that he can see through his bedroom window. He ends up making a new friend, But, little does Bruno know, that this boy belongs to the Auschwitz concentration camp.
