Essay on The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

Moreover, the innocence of Bruno borders his stupidity. At first, I even suggested that he was a retarded person - this would explain the many oddities of the plot. But no! It was not the case: complex syntax, allegories, ability to dodge and right beside an unrelieved stupidity: I just can’t put these both ends together.
