Connect This book is about the Holocaust, I don't have many connections to this novel, but I have read about this terrible topic before and it is heartbreaking. As i read this novel i felt as if i could connect to Bruno and Shmuel. I do enjoy reading novels about the Holocaust because i think they are interesting.
Friendship is a basic human need, especially for nine year old boys living their childhood. For Bruno who is lonely, bored out of his mind and could not find friends his age to play with and Shmuel a Jewish boy entrapped in a brutal concentration camp, their friendship is one of the only things that can spark a little happiness and lighten up their spirit. The boys meet in the least possible place – the periphery of Auschwitz concentration camp, where one is imprisoned and the other is the son of the Nazi commandant in charge. Although they are meant to see each other as enemies as a Jew and Nazi, there is no hatred between Bruno and Shmuel. They simply see each other as another kid to talk to out of the loneliness of Auschwitz. As the book
I choose this book because anytime I have to read a nonfiction book, the only nonfiction books I can read and enjoy reading the book are about Holocaust for some reason. I’m not sure why though. I got it at the school library, and my friend Elaina recommend me to read this book. The title appealed to me because it

The story is a documentary but in a cartoon, comic type of way and is like an adventure that makes you just reflect about your life and back then. LIfe was a struggle to survive during the war if you were a Jew for they would hunt you down. Also it just reflects on feeling of how you would feel if you lost your family and all you had, even if you were rich and wealthy you would be treated like less than a human. The book leaves you thinking on many concepts and it's true how could a human be treated as less just because of your religion.
The Holocaust was a time of great suffering and inhumanity. The novel Night, which took place during this time, was written by Elie Wiesel and talks about his teen self-experiencing the concentration camps of Auschwitz. This is related to the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas which is the story of a young German boy named Bruno who befriends a Jewish boy in a concentration camp. The many similarities and differences between the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and the novel Night include their many themes of “inhumanity” and “guilt and inaction”, and the two also share and differ in the loss of innocence of the characters and how they develop in each medium.
The memories of the author help you understand the plight of the Jews during the Holocaust and give you a sense
However, I believe that the element of Judaism is meant to shine through throughout in the

The major theme of the book is shown through the bonds of friendship and how in the most of unlikely circumstances friendship can survive and exist between people possessing an extensive and most restrictive division. A second theme is the evil and the intolerance which existed around these times of the Nazi regime and the Holocaust, as seen by the Germans having the Jews in the concentration camp. And the third theme is the curiosity and innocence of Bruno, Shmuel and
Peter and Edmond encounter the White Witch in different ways, yet by the end of the novel they both despised her. They both hated her. They both deplored her. Edmond met the White Witch; because he followed Lucy into the wardrobe. At first the Witch treated the strange being, Edmond, like any other subject, with harshness and cruelty. However, once the White Witch discovered that Edmond was a son of Adam, she deceived and bribed him, promising that when she died he would rule the kingdom of Narnia, as a magnificent king. With his ego full of praise, Edmond saw no reason to fear the so-called queen of Narnia. Thus, Edmond made a foolish decision to stray from his siblings and visit the White Witch alone. Once the Witch realized
In the novel “The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas’’ written by John Boyne, Bruno and Shmuel are more alike than different. Throughout the novel, John Boyne surely states their similarities more than their differences. Both Shmuel and Bruno had to leave their homes due to The Holocaust, both Bruno and Shmuel are scared of Lieutenant Kotler and have the same birthday.
Based on the image given, one can assume that the author of the illustration has a background in success. Success is different for all individuals and cannot be explained by words but by images. The image presented was one consisting of two arrows arranged under the word "success". One arrow represented what most people see as success; a straight arrow rising upward. The other arrow represented what success actually is; a jumbled mess that while seeming inconsistent is pressing its way to the top.
The setting of the book is in World War II where many people were forced to abandoned their homes because of the holocaust. Like Max, many Jews had to hide or be forced to concentration camps and leave their families. Liesel has to grow up in period of fear, hate, and guilt. An example of this is when Hans gives bread to a dying Jewish man and is beaten and called a Jew lover. This example illustrates why Jewish people had so much to fear.
Their opinions are brought forward whilst there is a march in their hometown and the two characters feed the marchers. Whilst this is only a small action, they managed to change the course of the storyline and the consequences of their actions really did bring the context of war upfront and it allowed the reader to understand what happened to some of the German people that tried to help the Jews and the others that were tortured along with them. The most serious effect that the war had on the characters of The Book Thief, Liesel especially, was at the end of the novel was when a bomb was dropped on her home town. As a result of this everyone that was special to Liesel was killed, including Rudy. Children in war are not aware of what is happening around them, especially in Bruno’s case, he only knows what he has seen. For example when Shmuel tells him that there are a lot of children on his side of the fence he thinks that it will be like in Berlin where children are happy and playful and have liberty, but when Bruno crosses the fence and experiences what Shmuel does every day he is very surprised and in a way disappointed to see that the children here and all lethargic and gloomy, this may affect a child very harshly in the long run seeing such a place on the inside, such as Auschwitz. In the story we see that Bruno can not comprehend what is happening when he and Shmuel are taken into the gas chamber and they think that it
