The book the Boy in striped Pajamas was written by John Boyne. The author was going through hard times when he wrote the book and his dad was born on the same day as one of the characters. Also he wrote the book the Boy in striped pajamas because he wants to write about things that mean a lot to people and have a lot of meaning. Also the book is more for young people and to show people that the times back then had a lot of young people effected. I think that John is most like Bruno because he is some one that does not know a lot about the Holocaust and what life was like back then just as Bruno did not know much about anything. In a sense we are all like Bruno because we do not all know every detail that took place just like Bruno didn't know anything
