I never thought that Father would have us move away from our home. I just come home one day only to be told that we have to leave my house! I don’t understand why he did it though, I was perfectly happy with where we were before moving out to this dreary place. I wonder if Father understands what he is doing to this family by moving us out here. When I got home that day and talked to Mother, what she said really didn’t help me like this dreaded place.

If my life was a book and I was to summarize what has happened so far from a spectator’s view, it’ll be this:
In the novel, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne the main character Bruno comes home one day to see his maid is packing up his items, when he goes to his mother and asks her what is happening she explains to him that they are moving because of his father’s job.

After awhile he was talking to his sister when he revealed indirectly that there was a big place behind them filled with people in funny outfits.
That’s how I’d describe this experience at the very least.
