The boy in the striped pyjamas

I think the narrative is circular 1943, because that ‘s the clip about the Second Worldwar. Besides the birth of Bruno is 15 April 1934, but in the narrative he 9 old ages old, so it must be in 1943.

In the quotation mark that I found, you can do clear that it ‘s go oning around the clip of Hitler.

Time: how much clip does the narrative take? Does it take hours, months, old ages?

The narrative takes about 1 ? or 2 old ages.

At the beginning of the book Bruno is 9 old ages old, but at the terminal he is about 10 ? old ages old.

Topographic point: Where is the narrative set?

At the get downing the narrative takes topographic point in Berlin, Germany but they are traveling to Poland. There is besides the Out-With concentration cantonment ( Auswitz ) .

I think they ‘re really rich. In Berlin they had a really large house, with 5 floors. The house in Poland is much more small, it has 3 floors. His male parent is commandant and they have 3 housekeepers.

Theme/message

I think that the most of import subject the holocaust is. Other subject is the artlessness of childhood. Bruno is a male child who likes adventurer, but he is besides really naive. He does n’t hold much apprehension of the holocaust. The book is written from a kid position, everything seems confused and unjust.

There is besides the artlessness of childhood. Bruno and Shmuel does n’t cognize that there is a holocaust. The lone thing that Bruno knows is that, at the other side of the fencing, there are a batch of people in stripy pajama, and that his male parent is a commanding officer of something. He does n’t cognize that the people of the other side of the fencing are Jews, and that his male parent is a Nazi-commandant. Shmuel does n’t cognize why he ‘s at the other side of the fencing. The two male childs speaking a batch to each other, and they become friends. When Shmuel ‘s male parent was missed, he does n’t understand that he has gone to the gas chamber.

At the terminal of the book, Bruno is besides gone to a gas chamber. His male parent happen it atrocious!

I think that the message of the book is, that you should handle people how you would wish to be treated. His male parent does atrocious things with the Jews, but in fact he besides does it at his ain boy, he is dead because of his orders.

Bacilluss: Your sentiment

Which character ( s ) did you like?

I found Bruno sympathetic.

Bruno does n’t cognize what is traveling on. His female parent told him that they need to travel, because of male parents occupation. Bruno merely know that his male parent is an of import adult male with a fancy uniform, but in fact he ‘s a Nazi-commandant. Bruno is merely an guiltless male child. He likes adventurer and he ‘s traveling to be friends with Shmuel.

I found Shmuel besides sympathetic. He is besides a small male child who does n’t understand anything about the war. He is behind the fencing and does n’t cognize why he is at that place. He likes it to speak to Bruno. Shmuel is a nice and friendly male child.

Which character did you dislike?

I found lieutenant Kotler unsympathetic.

In this quotation mark Shmuel is brought to Bruno ‘s house, he need to clean the spectacless. Bruno gives him some nutrient, but really he ‘s non allowed to make that. If lieutenant Kotler it finds out, he will be really angry.

I found Bruno ‘s male parent besides unsympathetic. He ‘s a great adult male and go a commanding officer, that ‘s besides the ground why they moved to Auswitz. That ‘s besides why I do n’t wish him. He is the adult male who gives orders to the soldiers who need to make al those bad things to the Jews. At place he is besides a strong adult male, he can speak whenever he wants, Bruno do n’t wish that.

What did you experience when you read the narrative?

The book made me experience sad but it made me besides angry about the household.

The narrative made me experience angry, because the male parent is a atrocious adult male. He knows what is traveling on, and the remainder of the household does n’t cognize what there male parent is making for occupation. His married woman knows it a small, but she does n’t state a batch about it. Sometimes they have a treatment about it, but largely he wins. It made me angry because I found it non normal that you do such sort of atrocious things to people, who are non ‘perfect ‘ . Cipher is perfect, and that made the universe beautiful.

The narrative made me experience sad because it ‘s atrocious that those guiltless Hebrews are the victim of a war, that is non their mistake. They does n’t cognize what is traveling on. The soldiers did atrocious things to them. It made me experience sad because the two guiltless male childs are passed off, because of the actions of Bruno ‘s male parent. Bruno thinks that his male parent is a nice adult male, but in fact he is non.

What is your favorite portion?

In this portion Bruno is traveling to the other side of fencing to assist Shmuel to happen his male parent. They did n’t happen any grounds. When it ‘s traveling to rain, they were lead into a edifice. Bruno is told Shmuel that he ‘s his best friend forever, and takes his manus. This is besides the terminal of their lives… they ‘re in a gas chamber.

I liked this portion of the book, because you can see that it ‘s existent friendly relationship. It does n’t intend if you ‘re a Jew or something, you can be friends with every one. Bruno ‘s male parent is against the Jews, he gives the orders and he is ‘responsible ‘ for that cantonment. In fact his boy is passed off because of his actions. He ‘s ground why they ‘re need to travel.

What do you believe about the subject?

There are made a batch of books and films about this subject, but I think that this book particular. This book is written about the position of a 9 twelvemonth old male child. But non a normal male child, he is the Sun of the commanding officer from a concentration cantonment. The most books about the holocaust, are about the Jews position, but this book is written through the eyes of a German kid. You read the subject about a really different side.

What happened during the Second World War, should ne’er happened once more. That ‘s besides the ground why I found this a really good subject. It ‘s something that ca n’t be forgotten. I think that there will come a batch more books and films about this subject. It ‘s good that you see it about an other side.

Expectations:

compose down which outlooks you had for the class of the narrative while you were reading the book. Make the book stop the manner you had expected it to? Would you hold liked it to stop in a different manner? How?

Before I read the book, I have seen the film. So I knew where it is traveling approximately. But I had n’t expected this terminal. I had hoped that Shmuel was traveling to the other side of the fencing and that they should travel away together or something. That is should be a good terminal, but that should be tiring.

Overall sentiment:

did you like the book? Why / why non?

Yes, I found it a great book! Of class you know something about this subject, but in this book it ‘s told about a different position. A kid of 9 old ages old, does n’t truly cognize what ‘s traveling on. When you read the narrative, you besides do n’t truly cognize what is traveling to happened. It ‘s a realistic book. The most English books I found hard to read, but this book is n’t, I read it in 3 yearss.
