      Good job! But instead of were, put where. And also add a little bit of information, for example what do you think will be the boys name?

      I predict that a boy and his family will be taken from their home and put in a Ghetto where they will live until later in the book, when the boy and his family will be put on freight trains headed to a concentration camp. When they arrive I predict that the mom and dad will be killed and the boy will be sent into the camp where he works until he escapes and hides until the war is over.

When they arrive I predict that the mom and dad will be killed and the boy will be sent into the camp where he works until he escapes and hides until the war is over.

  2. I predict that the book will be about a German boy. It starts off with the boy's family moving. There, it will focus on the boy exploring around his new house. While exploring, he finds this fence. Being the curious nine-year old that he is, he goes and tries to find out where the fence leads to. He moves along the fence for about an hour until he sees a boy in striped pajamas on the other side of the fence. There, he continues to talk and meet with the boy. They tell each other lots of different things and in the end, the two boys are caught by a Nazi Soldier. Unfortunately, they are both killed.

  3. I predict that the novel will be about an 8 year old German boy named Bruno. This young boy moves and he discovers a long, tall fence. Where Jewish people are being forced in hard work/slavery. One day the Bruno finds a young boy, about the same age as him. This boy was put into working for a long time and he was dirty, smelly, and there was little to no chance of survival towards him with the Nazi's watching over him so much. Until one day Bruno and the young boy make plans for him to escape, everything fails because a Nazi soldier shoots them both. In the end the memory of them stays in everyone's hearts, as they were the ones who were brave enough to try to make the young boy escape.

    The end.

    Hope you have enjoyed my prediction for the novel, "The Boy In The Striped Pajamas".

    1. For the third sentence it would be better if you said "Where Jewish people are being forced to work." instead of "Where Jewish people are being forced in hard work/slavery." But overall great job.

  4. I predict the novel " The boy in the striped pajamas " is going to be about a young Jewish prisoner named Bruno, who is lonely and wishing he can find friends. But one day while Bruno is having to work as hard as he could, he finds a hill and tries hide. But the prison is locked in, it's covered with barbed wire so no one can get out. So while he is hiding by the hill a boy comes who looks around the same age as Bruno. Now Bruno has a friend, but his friend doesn't know he's a Jewish prisoner!

  5. I think this book will be about a bit who moves to Berlin. I think he'll meet a boy wearing striped PJS that's in concentration camp. I think 6 year old Bruno will climb over the fence and put on the striped PJS. He will do this because he wants to meet the boy and he dosent get the point of the concentration camp Bruno thinks there just wearing PJS for fun..
    This is my prediction..

    1. Hi Oreo! Here are some suggestions for your prediction. Rephrase sentence two, because it does not make that much sense, and do not capitalize "PJS", instead write pajamas. Great prediction overall, and have you read this novel before?

      :)

  6. My prediction is that the main character will be a nine year old boy named Bruno and he is a normal kid he does every thing we do but than one day Bruno goes on a journey and he keeps on walking and walking and walking and it feels like it will never end but than he finds this fence and on the other side of the fence is a young boy and it looks like he is the same age Bruno is but it looks like that young boy dosent have some things Bruno has.

    1. instead of saying "nine-years old..." you could say "nine year old..." in the first sentence and in the second sentence instead of saying "mysterious fences.." you could say "mysterious fence..." and you could say fence instead of fences. but great job.

  9. I think "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" is going to be about this young boy that is in striped pyjamas and is a slave to these nazi soldiers and ask him to do all these stuff for him and soon enough he stands up for himself and says that slavery shouldn't be aloud and just for that the nazi soldiers beat him up and then he thinks that's enough and runs away.

  10. Prediction-
    In my opinion I think that the novel "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" will be about a young boy who lives near a concentration. One day he decides he wants to go see what was at the concentration camp because he has never seen it before so he goes down to the concentration camp and see's a another boy inside of the concentration camp so, he decides to say hi. Then they became friends. After that the boy in the concentration camp told him what is happening to everybody in the concentration camp the boy outside of the concentration camp decides to bring him food so he could be able to eat more. After that the boy decides to go in the camp and live with the other boy. But in the end I think that they both escape from the camp and go back to their families to live a happy life.
