Character Focus*: What choices has the character made thus far? Do you agree with their decision?
So, far the character has made a big choice of deciding to walk a long, a very long fence everyday to talk with his new “friend“. This was due to his family's recent movement, which caused him to have no friends in the new area he lived in. I agree with the decision because all he wanted was social interaction. A way to stay sane, which I understand.

Fiction: In another place or time, how would the story change? Where else could the story take place?

I believe, that if you took this story and put into anywhere else in time, that story would already be present. What I mean by this, is the historical accuracy in the sense of how Jews were discriminated against simply because of their race is still present. Black Lives matter for example, it started because they were discriminated against.

What do you notice about the writing - the way the author wrote? In the passage I read, the writer included more descriptive writing. The author was describing the new place Bruno had found himself in (a house outside of a concetration camp). He provided extra detail when Bruno had challenged his father about where they lived and why, as well as when Bruno and Gretel (his sister) were gazing out Brunos window at the people withhin the camps.

Non-Fiction:When reading parts of the passage I was confused on exactly why someone would mess with her transcripts, until I realized it was because she was poor; they didn't do it out of revenge or hatred.

Fiction: I would say the main character taught me the most. She taught me that even when it seems like you're in over your head, their's always a way out.

😁Fiction: This book teaches you that life isn't always fair. It teaches it in a brutal way of a highschooler who ( we think) had her transcripts tampered with, so she wouldn't be accepted into any university of college.

Non-Fiction: No, not at all. The author rights it from a viewpoint of someone having their transcript messed with and with how anyone would react. It's doesn't have bias and is simply made for you to believe what you wish. 😁

Are there any connections between this book and your own life?
- Yes. I'm a person who cares very much about there grades and where there future will end up and from what I have read so far, the main character cares a lot about her grades and what colleges she will be accpeted into.

How do these connections help you understand the characters or the conflict?
- Because I feel the same way I can understand where she is coming from.
