    It is hard for someone to fully immerse themselves into a movie when they have to suspend so much belief in the story. Although Bruno and Shmuel are both only eight, it is hard to believe that they would be as clueless as to what is happening. Shmuel lived in the concentration camp and seemed to have no idea what was going on inside it. It is also hard to believe that Bruno, being as curious as he is, would not have tried eavesdropping on his father’s meetings. It is also convenient that none of the guards ever caught them sitting by the fence or that, Bruno’s mother did not notice that he has been disappearing every day. Another unbelievable aspect is how Bruno was able to easily enter into the camp. The camps were meant to be well guarded, and if it were that easy for a boy to enter, it would have been easy for anyone to leave.…

    Secondly, the guileless tone of the book soon turned out to be extremely annoying and played to why the book was as unconvincing as I found it to be. In all honesty, I could not believe that a nine-year-old boy from a German family has never heard about the Jews, or wasn’t even the slightest bit aware of what was thought of them. Even if his parents tried to guard him from the war, which was definitely shown by Bruno's parents, he needed to at least understand the situation a little more for this book to be the least bit believable. Bruno's complete ignorance of the Führer and the fact that Germany is at war is hard to…

    Hothouse Babies Summary

    In the video Hothouse Babies, a mother began to teach her child at the age of three to learn multiplication, addition, subtraction, and other school related study habits. I would have to agree with the mother's parenting style because it will allow the child to be more prepared and ahead of the game when she actually has to learn these certain things. Additionally, she would benefit from this parenting style by establishing confidence, enthusiasm for life long learning, socialization, early academic success, and improves linguistic skills as well. All of these factors will benefit the child for becoming academically successful. Not only will it result in higher grade too, but improved attention spans and better…

    The plot of the story is not very special, but the actors use funny expressions and skill to deal with the unstable house to make the movie more interesting. Sometimes Tom Hanks is over acting and they exaggerate to make the house look very unstable. For example, the house when the main character Walter runs through the stairs to the second floor, all of the stairs collapse. They also put special sounds to go with amusing performance to make the movie funnier.…

    To begin, many people would believe that the novel was written improperly, because most of the characters were unrealistic. One of the characters, Bruno, knew absolutely nothing about the tragedy that was occurring during the Holocaust. In fact, Bruno's own father was the commandant of one of the largest concentration camps for Jews. At one point, the novel states, "...when they asked Bruno what his father did he opened his mouth to tell them, then realized that he didn't know himself..." (Boyne, 5). It is quite evident that Bruno is not like any other normal child, because he doesn't even know what his father does for a living. Most people know what their parents' occupations are at a very young age. Obviously, Bruno is a very impractical character for not knowing what his father's job was, therefore, making the novel unsuitable for the delicate subject of the Holocaust.…

    Bruno's curiosity is what led him to enter an "Out-of-Bounds and No Exceptions" territory, the fence. This led to Shmuel and their friendship. Because of their friendship, the author can also describe the horrors inside the camp not just as it is living outside. For example, when Shmuel is ordered to polish the glasses, he was caught 'stealing' food and when Shmuel and Bruno met once again, there was evidence that he was beaten as a punishment. If Bruno was never friends with Shmuel, he would never have been able to guess what would be happening in the camp, and the readers could only leave everything up to their imagination. Though Bruno kept his innocence throughout the whole book, even as they were being…

    Physical barriers hold us back until we break free. The only thing separating Bruno from all the people was the massive fence that stretched as far as his eyes could see. Father and mother made it clear to Bruno that he was not allowed to walk or get close to the fence and that exploration was banned at Out-with. “When I was a child, I used to enjoy exploring. And that was in Berlin, where I knew everywhere and could find anything even with a blind-fold on. I’ve never really done any exploring here perhaps it’s time to start.” Bruno parents did not provide any entertainment for Bruno so Bruno decided to find some himself.…
