The Boy in the Striped Pajamas Read Ch 17 and 18 Pages 186-199 (Week 36)

This lesson connects with the concept of narrative dialogue and character design by authors.

Look at the events of Chapter 17, where Father and Mother discuss the family’s return to Berlin and announce their decision to Bruno and his sister.  

Write a  one page narrative that tells that story from a different character’s point of view.  Tell it as if readers are hearing the thoughts and feelings of Father, Mother or Gretel.  Remember to use what you already know about these characters to guide your writing.

One page,  skip lines for speakers, use vivid description and natural dialogue.
