Boy in Strip Pajamas
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was written by John Boyne, and publish by David Fickiling, Random House Children books, in September 2006. It is a historical fiction book written about events that occur during World War II. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is emotional and motivating. The plot of the story is about Bruno, a nine year old boy who grew up in Berlin during the World War II era. He lived with his parents, 12 year old sister Gretel, and his servant. He faces many challenges and obstacles when he moves to his new house in Auschwitz (Out-With). While new friendships are formed, trust is put to the test.
In the story of The Boy in the striped pajamas we follow the life of a nine year old boy named Bruno. He is very curious of what happens around him, and adventurous. The father was a high official commander in the Germany army and he ran the concentration camp in Auschwitz. The mother was a supportive and submissive wife/mother. Gretel, the sister in the beginning is mean to Bruno but towards the end she is kind. The fury is Hitler in the story he is described as rude, as Bruno calls him a horrible man. The family all together respects the father so much that they will follow is every step. Then there is Shmuel. Shmuel is a Jewish boy that Bruno meets in Auschwitz near the gate to the camp. He is the same age as Bruno, looks the same, the only difference is that he is skinner than Bruno.
There are many themes to describe the book. There are lies, human cruelty, uniform, friendship, and also there is spirituality. When you wear the uniform you become just like it. When the father had put on the uniform he became a murder of innocent lives. The friendship in this story was very strong for two young boys. Shmuel had taken beaten for eating food that he was offered by Bruno. Instead of complaining and telling Bruno how he felt he said nothing.
From my prospective I believe that The Boy in the Strip Pajamas was a really interesting book. It gave me a glimpse

    Told almost entirely from a young, naive German boy’s point of view, Mark Herman’s The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a hard-hitting Holocaust tale that will render audiences speechless. After arriving home, Bruno (Asa Butterfield) learns that his family will have to move because his father (David Thewlis) achieved a promotion in the Nazi army. Bruno noticed what he believed to be farmers living just past a stretch of woods near their new home. One day, not long after being told not to go near the “farmers,” Bruno leaves his home and heads towards the camp. There he meets Shmuel (Jack Scanlon), a young Jewish boy.

    He was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1971 and has written a total of 14 novels. Boyne originally did not intend on this novel to be about the Holocaust; however, the idea came up and he just could not pass it up. When writing this novel, Boyne did not have a definite viewpoint expressed. He decided to keep the viewpoint neutral and give both sides of the story. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a fable according to John Boyne that is based on historical information. Boyne hoped that by writing this novel people would learn a lesson or understand a moral. As I have stated before, Boyne writes about two boys from different sides of a fence (literally and figuratively). They are each going through the Holocaust and the Nazi Party’s rule on…

    John Boyne represents the different perspectives of society in World War II through the representations of characters in the fictional novel The Boy in Striped Pyjamas. Bruno’s childlike perspective is represented through his malapropism of “the Fury” and “Out-With” and his reaction to unexpected events, “mouth making the shape of an O”. The irony of Bruno’s narrow view, “it’s so unfair...” confronts the audience with the ignorance of some German citizens to the horrific events of the Holocaust. The characters of “Mother” and “Grandmother” are utilised by Boyne to represent the differing perspectives of the society during the Holocaust. Grandmother exercises constructive disobedience in dissenting with the Nazi regime and perceiving Fathers role as “a puppet on a string”. This is juxtaposed to Bruno's Mother through the euphemism of "[Bruno] had never known anyone to need quite so many medicinal Sherries" showing her complacency to do nothing about the knowledge of the concentration camp. Boyne positions an older audience to see the dangers of naivety and the cost of inaction.…

The two boys somehow become friends despite the stupendous odds set against each other by the German forces, "You're my best friend, Shmuel," he said. "My best friend for life” (Boyne 213). This quote shows the strength Bruno has to stay with Shmuel to the end even though he is considered less equal as Bruno. When Bruno was at home talking to his father about Shmuel says, “The people I see from the window. In the huts, in the distance. They're all dressed the same. Ah, those people, Those people... well, they're not people at all, Bruno"(Boyne 53). Brunos innocence is shown is this quote from him having no idea what is going on in the world at the time, and through his eyes he sees everyone as…

    Few people understand that discrimination and racism still take place today. John Boyne's novel, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, presents the thoughts of a German boy, Bruno, who has a Jewish friend, Shmuel, during the Holocaust. Both nine-year-old boys maintained an unyielding relationship with each other during the Holocaust, a horrendous era of discrimination towards the Jews from Germans, despite their differences. Many readers would believe that John Boyne wrote this novel inappropriately, because a majority of characters were not convincing, and the subject of the Holocaust was too serious for a children's book.…

    The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is a novel by John Boyne. This novel is set during World War 2 and explores themes such as prejudice, racism, war, innocence and friendship. What sets it apart from other novels is that it uses a third person limited point of view, and mostly depicts events as they are seen by a young and naïve boy. This was one of the main narrative conventions that engaged me in this novel.…

    Childhood is measured out by sounds and smells and sights, before the dark hour of reason grows- John Betjeman. This idea is quite evident throughout The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas as it shows that children perceive things through their senses rather than in a more sophisticated adult-like way based on the opinion of society. Bruno, a young and naïve nine-year-old and Shmuel, a less innocent Jewish boy, make an amazing friendship that is purely based on love and they don’t care that they are supposed to hate each other according to society. However, Bruno’s Mother and Father are less naïve and create their relationships based on what Germany and the Fury want rather than deciding as individuals. In the book, Gretel makes a very noticeable change from being an innocent child, like Bruno, to more of a refined level like Mother and Father.…

    The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is a story seen through the innocent eyes of Bruno, the eight year old son of the commandant at a concentration camp. This movie was again probably the top 5 of the best movies we have seen all year. It did a brilliant job of representing how gruesome it was for even German families, especially for the kids we are never really told what is going on but instead taught to hate and despise anybody that isn’t Aryan. Since this film is still recent I was expecting it to be good and it did not disappoint, with a stellar cast of known actors like David Thewlis, Vera Farmiga, and Asa Butterfield. It got my attention right off the start and kept it going, to a very thriller story.…

    Themes like intolerance, the discrimination against Jewish people, and the will and strengths that these people had to survive. Most of this discrimination against the Jewish people came from the Nazi soldiers, but not all Nazi soldiers were ‘evil’, some were just doing what they were told with fear of being turned against if they didn’t. Some other texts of this genre explore whether or not everyday Germans had a full understanding of what was going on and weather or not they did anything about it. These issues can be seen in ‘The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas’. We see a lot of hatred towards the Jewish people through characters like Lt. Kotler and Adolf Hitler, and we also see a lot of evidence of the German people being unaware of what was going on. For example, Bruno asks Shmuel if he played “Football for example. Or exploration”. This identifies Bruno’s lack of knowledge of what went on in the concentration…
