My experience with the Boy in Striped Pajamas has been very good I love the book Because it shows us how people lived back then during the holocaust times. Also it shows us how hard it was to live back then in a prison surrounded by thousands of people. And then finally I got to see how harsh the people back then were that treated the people in the prison. I learned from the book how good of a life I have and that my life could be way harder. And I am so thankful that are country is free. Also I see how much we take life for granted we all go through are days now worrying were are next meal is coming from and if we are going to be in prisoner or not. I think that a message that a person that reads this book might get out of it is how important friendships are and how important family is just like Bruno learned as he found his friend. Friendships are so important because they show you how other people live and show you that not every one lives the same way that you do just like Bruno lived in a nice house that had heat and a yard to play in but his friend Shmuel has to live in pajamas and has to think about were his next meal is and has to work all day. Finally I think that another lesson that a person that reads the book will learn is to be contempt with were you are living because there are lots of people like Shmuel that live in the harshest conditions and Bruno was complaining about moving, but Shmuel was still contempt even though he had to work and fight for his meal I think that this book is a great example of how people should live and is a great book for people to read if you want to learn some good life lessons.
