Most of the characters are the same in both stories. In both the movie and the book, you still have characters like Hannah, Rivka, Shmuel, Fayge, Esther, a baby, lots of kids and adults, and the Natzi army people. So as you can see, there are lots of similar characters in the book and the movie. As well as the characters, the plots are the same in some parts of the two genres. For example, there is a scene in the movie that shows four people trying to escape the camps. Similarly, in the book, there are four people trying to escape. Also, the people at the camps do work of some sort. In the movie, they are digging holes in the dirt. In the book, they are working in the kitchens. Therefore, the fact that they are working is the same. Those were ways to show how the plot can be alike. Another way the two stories are the same is the theme of the movie and the book. The theme is “Remember, never forget.” In the book, Hannah tells Rivka to remember and to not forget. Likewise, in the movie Rivka’s mom say’s, “We need to remember, do not forget.” That’s the way that theme is the same in both of the…

Night by Elie Wiesel and the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas show two extremely interesting perspectives towards the Holocaust. Night was a non-fiction novel written by a Jewish boy who was in an actual concentration camp. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was a movie based off of a fiction novel written by John Boyne that tells the story of a Nazi soldier’s son named Bruno that befriends a Jewish boy he meets at a nearby concentration camp. Within the two stories, there were differences in perspective, mood, and overall message.…
These books are very alike but also have many differences. They have many details that are different from one another. There are also many similarities about the two books. There are so many details that are alike and related from the two books. The books are very closely related.…
The main themes of the movie that stand out the most but are certainly not limited to is, innocent and complicity. Though he attends school and his father is a high ranking Nazi official, Bruno is mostly ignorant of the political situation at the time. When Bruno leaves Berlin he wonders why he left to be near the camp full of people in striped pajamas. Another example is the fact that he has no idea what is going on in the camp or Germany and also thinks Shmuel lives in the concentration camp with his family. That is abruptly changed when he actually goes inside to look for Shmuel’s father and realizes its not like the video about the camps. Even though Bruno’s mother is not thrilled at her husband’s job, she does not actively fight his decision to move the family. Through her not protesting and like many Germans, they complied with, did not interfere or think about the harsh realities of what the Nazis are doing. Also Bruno, Gretel or the mother doesn’t do anything when Kotler beats Pavel to death, they continue to eat through…
Every writer creates a unique story that takes a life of its own, and teaches us a lesson. These stories can be similar with the same themes, plots, and other characteristics however overall they are unmistakably different. The similarities and differences of, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst is the quintessential example of this.…
The second similarity of these two books are their strong character values. The characters in both of these believe in a certain thing and are willing to put themselves in danger to support their views. An example of this would be how Jem reacts to the jury’s conclusion. He becomes angry and believes it is completely unfair. This happens in World War Z when the family of three is moving north…
Mostly, the main theme of the stories , a young, confused, boy trying to find himself and attempting to figure out what they want out of life and what life wants out of them. That is pretty much where the similarities ended for me.…

Both the historical pieces by Jane Yolen who wrote The Devil's Arithmetic and John Boyne who created The Boy in the Striped Pajamas use the power of relationships between characters to transfer the message about the Holocaust and the barbaric nature of the events. The connection between the characters is shown on page 159 in Yolen's book when the protagonist states, “ Run for your life Rivka. Run for your future. Run. Run. Run. And remember.” The author made the relationship between the characters so strong that it showed how hard it was to be in the camps and the sacrifices you had to make for loved ones. It proves that some people in the situation during the time of the tragedy were cruel but others were really good at heart and caught in a bad situation. The novel The Boy in the Striped Pajamas used the same technique as Jane Yolen, the message the reader gets through friendships. It was conveyed on page 44 when the young child Bruno states, “ Father returned to his office which was out of bounds at all times and no exceptions.” This little boy is so young and it is hard for him to comprehend why people are on the other side of the fence held hostage and why his dad is always working. Through his eyes it doesn't make sense, which is what many people think of the Holocaust, but when you're a little…
There are several issues that I have learned about this week. There are several factors that are involved in overcoming generational poverty such as education and relationships. Migrant and seasonal farm workers work very hard but yet live in generational poverty. They face several challenges when working and their families also are at risk in repeating the pattern. I also learned about the challenges that older people face when there is a lack of access to employment. Women also face unique challenges through the different life stages.…
I watched The Boy in The Striped Pajama, directed by Mark Herman. It’s about a young boy named Bruno, an 8 year old whose father is a Nazi, in Germany. In the beginning of the movie Bruno’s parents announce they’re moving out of town because his father has been promoted, to a higher position. They move to a house that’s away from all of Bruno’s friends. He always sees a man peeling potatoes, in what he thinks are pajamas, so he assumes the man is a farmer. The Nazis treat the man so bad, and Bruno does not understand why. One day Bruno decided to go in the back garden and “explore” he found a fence with a young boy behind it, who looks his age. The boy had on the same pajamas as the man who peels the potatoes, so Bruno assumes he’s just over there working on a farm. Bruno introduces himself to the boy, and finds out the boy’s name is Shmuel and he was taken to the camp with his father. Shmuel and Bruno play games together. Bruno brings Shmuel food because he tells him how hungry he is. One day when Bruno meets Shmuel, he tells Bruno that his father has come up missing and he doesn’t know where he could be. Bruno offers to help him find his father, so the next day Shmuel brings him a pair of “pajamas” and Bruno sneaks over, they go to a cabin. That cabin just happened to be chosen for extermination.…
What is new with the observation is that the target child, family and I are all connected. The family says they have noticed that he is trying to talk more and his behavior has changed for the better because he now seems to love coming to school. He actually runs into the class some days with the biggest smile on his face ready to do something. The other days he may come in a little down but he walks straight to me asking for a hug, we talk about how he is feeling and I assure him that he will have fun learning that day. He then cheers up and waves bye to mommy and join his friends on the rug. I no longer feel nervous about what the teacher may think nor how the parents may perceive me being around their children (because I'm a stranger). The…
Since I start the text I thought it was an interesting topic to treat, sometimes while I was reading, I realized that, there was some things really useless to say them but anyway you can easily be caught for the real life examples in it.…
