Explain Why Does Bruno Wear The Striped Pajamas

Although, there are many reasons to why this was bad, it could be argued both ways. Bruno being naive could have also been a good thing because then he could just be a kid and not be surrounded by the horror of life around him. Bruno was just a little kid and he got to enjoy that while he was alive, because he didn't know about all the bad things that were happening all around. Sense he was naive he was able to make a best friend, and be a normal kid. However, they are wrong to believe this because Bruno would have never died if he hadn’t met Shmuel. This is another reason why it was a bad thing that Bruno was naive. Overall Bruno being naive was a bad thing because nothing was done to stop what

During his time in the concentration camps, Elie’s outlook on life shifted to a very pessimistic attitude, showing emotions and actions including rebellion, forgetfulness of humane treatment, and selfishness. Elie shows rebellion early in the Holocaust at the Solemn Service, a jewish ceremony, by thinking, “Blessed be God’s name? Why, but why would I bless Him? Every fiber in me rebelled” (Wiesel 67). Elie had already shifted his view on his religion and faith in God. After witnessing some of the traumas of the concentration camps, Elie questioned what he did to deserve such treatment. Therefore, he began to rebel against what he had grown up learning and believing. Not only had Elie’s beliefs changed, his lifestyle changed as well. When Elie’s foot swelled, he was sent to the doctor, where they put him “...in a bed with white sheets. I [he] had forgotten that people slept in sheets” (Wiesel 78). Many of the luxuries that Elie may have taken for granted have been stripped of their lives, leaving Elie and the other victims on a thin line between survival and death. By explaining that he forgot about many of these common luxuries, Elie emphasizes the inhumane treatment the victims of the Holocaust were put through on a daily basis.

Bruno’s mom and sister leave his father and they are all sad that they will never see Bruno

Bruno always went to see Schmuel even though he knew it could be dangerous. “Bruno: Maybe I should go. Schmuel: What about my papa? Bruno: yeah.”(The Boy in the Striped Pajamas). Bruno stayed to help Schmuel to help find his father. Bruno chose to say and help because he knew how important it was to find Schmuel’s father. Even though Bruno and schmuel didn’t have the closest relationship, they still meant a lot to each other because they only had each other to be friends with. Bruno wasn't able to help Schmuel ,but he still tried and that meant a lot to

The members of the national socialists party such as Hitler, the Commandant and Lt Kotler contribute to the novel’s portrayal of prejudice and discrimination, contrasting the horrific nature of this period in history with Bruno’s purity. For Example, "Ah,those people," said Father, nodding his head. "Those people...well there not people at all, Bruno" p.53. This quote perfectly describes the prejudice and discrimination the Jews encountered, particularly through their dehumanisation. This is a perfect example of a child "inheriting" his father's prejudice towards a specific culture,“And I can speak French too,” she added … “yes but why would you want to?” asked the Fury” p.122 , which illustrates

So he would avoid punishment, Bruno equivocates, which leads to Shmule beating. As shown in the works, the repercussions of greed have detrimental

At the beginning, when they meet each other Bruno is very disrespectful towards Shmuel by making fun of his name and laughing at his face.

Traveling by train to a concentration camp, Viktor Frankl spent his last hours in his own clothes, and with his own things. Upon arrival, he and his fellow prisoners were stripped of everything; luggage, clothing, jewelry, and even the hair off their bodies. Frankl lost the last piece of his life, a manuscript of his ideas that he had been working on for quite some time (Frankl 23). No only did the prisoners lose everything, they had to completely change the way they lived. They wore the same clothes for months, rarely washed themselves, and slept in terrible sleeping

The theme of innocence is shown as the quality of being childlike and free from guilt, sin or moral wrong. With this in mind, Bruno is a clearly shown to be an innocent protagonist. Bruno views the world through a naïve mindset. For instance, when Bruno was engaging a conversation with Shmuel, Bruno states, ‘"It's so unfair. I don't see why I have to be stuck over here on this side of the fence where there's no one to talk to and no one to play with and you get to have dozens of friends and are probably playing for hours every day.

Throughout the novel, Bruno misinterprets what is going on in the world and this family. One of the

Bruno does come across Jews in his time, whereas Heidi doesn’t know what they are, as she is just told is that they are “different”. Heidi begins to think and imagine what Jews could be

I think that Bruno’s parents should have told him about everything that happens behind the fence because that would have probably prevented Bruno from going into the camp. If he knew about it, he probably wouldn’t want to crawl under the fence and go there.

A major change for Bruno was when they moved from Berlin to Auschwitz. Bruno was outgoing, adventurous and had many friends. After they moved, he became lonely, sad and a little resentful to his parents. He and Gretel were home schooled and he wasn’t allow to go outside anymore. He had no idea of what was going on in the concentration camp or his surrounding and didn’t understand why he couldn’t play with the kids he saw in the camp. After he met Shmuel things started to feel a little more normal for him but unaware that his life will end very soon.

Bruno, initially, has ignorance about everything going on in his life. For example, his dissatisfaction with leaving Berlin is demonstrated in many parts of the story. He is shown to the reader as being innocent, immature, and unable to give things a chance. On many occasions, Bruno complains about moving to “Out-With” (Auschwitz). He continually complains before even giving himself a chance to experience it. He was whining and being stubborn. To illustrate, in the novel, the author says, “Nothing, thought Bruno, not even the insects, would ever choose to stay at Out-With.

Firstly, Bruno is a sociopath. A sociopath is a personality disorder and in most cases the person lacks guilt, remorse and shame for their actions. Bruno does and says unusual things that sociopaths usually do. Bruno is so happy at the chance to kill Miriam. He feels like he has a purpose, it is said about Bruno “His hands captured her throat on the last word, stifling its abortive uplift of surprise.” Bruno
