Year 8 essay on lieutenant Kotler and Pavel
In “The boy in striped pyjamas” Boyne juxtaposes the character Pavel and lieutenant kotler in chapter 7. The writer does this to demonstrate the vast differences between the way a soldier and a prisoner were treated in 1942. The reader knows from the context of the novel that Jewish prisoners were treated practically brutally by German officers.
Boyne wants to provoke an emotional response from the reader to feel sympathetic from the way jewish people were treated in the holocaust.
Lieutenant Kotler is a very proud and conceited man; he cares a lot about what people think of him. He is too confident inside Bruno’s house hold “like he owns the place”. Lieutenant Kotler is a bit of an uncomfortable guy “makes me want to put a jacket on”. Lieutenant Kotler is a very muscular “like the muscles he would want himself” Lieutenant Kotler is a very smart man but very harsh at some points.
He wore a lot of neat and perfect clothing such as his black boots “that sparkled with polish”.
Pavel is a nice man who is mostly afraid of lieutenant kotler “who always spoke to him insolently” He is an old man “Lieutenant Kotler was like a grandson to him”. Pavel shows a lot of respect to other “he took of his cap before him” Pavel was a Jew that was a waiter who wasn’t been taken to the concentration camp because of his waiter skills “he was a very good waiter according to father”. Pavel is very obedient and respectful to others “yes sir he said in a quiet voice” that shows his respect.
Lieutenant was a rude and harsh man “he was plain nasty” and very disrespectful to others “he carries it around on his waist” that was actually meant to be sarcasm. Lieutenant Kotler has a very odd attitude to many people “You can ask” that what he said to Bruno trying to be funny but that really teased Bruno because it sounded odd and not a response you would get from others. Lieutenant kotler is mainly at the worst with pavel he talk to him with
