Instructions

Hello, Sixth Period!

For your ORB written assignment, I am requiring that you make three postings to this blog about your ORB. You must choose three different options from the "blogging options" handout (on First Class). I am looking for superb commentary, which should make obvious why your ORB "educates your conscience."

Please, adhere to the expectations on the rubric (also on First Class).

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

Chandler Naidu
Setting
The Strange Change

The setting of this book starts off in Berlin. Bruno and his family were happily living in Berlin, Germany; they had their friends, their school, their grandparents, and their everyday lives. Their house was enormous and Bruno loved to explore it and find new things. When they move to this new place far away from Berlin there was "something [that] made him feel cold and unsafe" (20). There were soldiers always walking around. One day Bruno and Gretel looked out the window of their new house, they saw people working and at first they assumed that it was the countryside. They then realized there were not any animals there and then knew it was not the countryside, but something else, something scary, something that they were afraid of.
