“How do I look?” Bruno asked as he was putting his pajamas on. Shmuel responded with a nod indicating that they look alike. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas portrays a family during the German war and all the struggles they had faced. Bruno, who is the son of this family, wanted nothing but to go on an adventure. He even went against his mother’s strict orders not to leave and found himself outside a concentration camp. Children tend to have their own views on the world which results in them not seeing how harsh the world truly is especially when it comes to the aspect of race. In The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, the power of rhetoric is shown in the culture between the German’s and the Jew’s lives and the

Bruno comes home to find that he and his family were moving away. Bruno doesn’t like this and whines to the family, but they were moving, whether he liked it or not. To make the matters worse for Bruno, the house was smaller than their previous home and a lot more rural. They had only one neighbor… A concentration camp. Bruno tells his sister that there are other kids there and that they all wear striped pajamas. Bruno ends up building a tire swing, because no one likes boredom, and ends up falling. A Jewish “servant” named Pavel helps Bruno. However, his mother comes home, finds out what happened, and tells them that if anyone asked, she cleaned Bruno’s wounds. Bruno decides to go exploring some time later, and ends up walking along the fence that separates the camp from the family. While exploring, Bruno meets a jewish boy in the camp named Shmuel. The boys share a birthday and Shmuel explains to Bruno that they are in Poland, not Germany. Sometime later, Shmuel is in the houses kitchen, cleaning glasses, to Bruno’s surprise. They strike up a chat and everything is ok until Bruno gives Shmuel a piece of chicken. A soldier spots Shmuel eating the chicken and lashes out. Shmuel tries to explain that Bruno gave him the chicken, but Bruno flat out lies, and says he didn’t. Later, Bruno finds out that his family is moving back to Berlin. He goes to break the news to Shmuel, who tells Bruno that his father is missing. Bruno

Bruno was the son of a Nazi commandant, but he had no idea of the horrors of the Holocaust. He was told not to go near the death camp his father was in charge of, but he did anyway. Bruno meet a Jewish boy named Shmuel at the camp and continued to visit him. They enjoyed each other’s company even though there was a fence in between them. One day Shmuel told Bruno that his dad went missing. Neither of the boys knew that he was actually murdered. They came up with a plan to sneak Bruno into the camp to help Shmuel find his dad. After Bruno gets into the camp they begin to search when alarms go off. The boys and other Jewish men get pushed into a room and ordered to take their clothes off. No one knows what’s going on. They are ordered into another room where they are gassed and die. Because of hate and intolerance against Jews, Shmuel was blocked off from the rest of the world and his friend. Bruno fought against that hate and intolerance by sneaking into a place where no one should be, to help a

Then Shmuel lifts the fences, and Bruno and Shmuel shake hands, breaking the wall of Jews And Nazis. Ignorance led to Bruno's death because when he went into the camp he thought there would be people smiling, drinking alcohol, selling vegetables, and people dancing in the center when he entered the camp to help Shmuel find his papa. Bruno saw the true reality inside the camp: he saw sad people, soldiers laughing at the group of kids, and a group of people sitting together in a group, staring at the ground looking sad, they were very skinny, and they all wore the same striped pajamas. When Bruno was about to leave, the soldier ordered a march into the gas

"Who are all those people? And what are they all doing there?" (4.190), Bruno asks. This is what the book, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, is based on. It informs the reader that the holocaust occurred. Who were these people, and what were they doing there? There are many examples on why it was a bad thing that Bruno was oblivious about the Holocaust. The holocaust was a gruesome time where Jews were killed for their beliefs. The leader of the Nazi party was Hitler. He believed that Jews were bad people and they should be punished for their crimes. This started a period of time where Jews were rounded up and put into concentration camps to later be killed or put to do the hard work that no one else wanted to do. Bruno lived during

On his perspective, he just wanted to find someone or something to play with, and that led him straight to Shmuel. Bruno just had the innocence and spirit to explore just any other kid, and because of the acts the Nazis did on his father's command, Bruno ended up dying because of his parent's negligence. Of course, his dad didn’t want that to happen, but Bruno was curious to see what Shmuel's life was like, so he got a buzz cut and put on some pajamas and crossed the fence. Not knowing, the father wanted him to stay away from Shmuel but in reality, he pushed their prohibited friendship. Bruno is incinerated in the gas chambers like the other innocent Jews.

The next day Bruno goes to the fence digs a hole under the fence and maneuvers his way through onto the side that Shmuel was on. He then changes into a pair of striped pajamas, just like the ones that his friend had on. As he was in the camp looking for Shmuel's father, he knows that it is time to start heading back home. Just then the officers of the camp start pushing everyone to the “showers.” Shmuel nor Bruno knew what they were actually getting

When they arrive Bruno finds that the house is very small and disconnected from the outside world. He see’s that there is nasty smelling smoke barreling through the air, he doesn’t know what it is, yet. As Bruno surveys his new home he comes to his room where he peers out of the window and sees a fence surrounding a ton of children and adults all wearing the same clothing. He confronts his sister Gretel and tells her that they all look lonely and unfriendly. But they weren’t the only people looking unfriendly. Bruno immediately becomes enemies with one of the young soldiers that works for his father. But his sister is starting to develop a crush for the young man. For weeks the smoke continues to fill the air.

The film called “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” is about an eight year old boy named Bruno (protagonist), who came from a governmental level anti-semitic environment. Interesting enough when watching the historical movie several props and costumes were used to tell the story of the Nazi and Jewish lifestyle during that era such as posters, books and clothings. Bruno and his family ends up leaving an upscale residential area in Berlin which at one point was his happy place called home and moving to a countryside house in the middle of nowhere. His family was ordered to relocate because Bruno’s father, Ralf (antagonist), was promoted in military ranks. Like most young boys Bruno becomes inquisitive and wants to explore his new local surroundings.

A boy, Shumel the same age as Bruno is sitting by the fence, and Bruno introduces himself. They soon became good friends and Bruno soon has the curiosity to explore the camp inside. Bruno wants to explore the camp he calls "out-with", but is actually the "Auschwitz camp". This shows his innocence as he does not know the world around him. His family simply wants to hide the fact they are living by a concentration camp from Bruno, but his curiosity takes the better of him.

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.

The next day where its raining and extremely muddy Bruno went to meetup with Shmuel at the fence to go on the search for Shmuel’s father . Finally Bruno was on the opposite side of the fence , as he was sneaking around trying to blend in with other people he never saw nothing like that seeing everyone looking miserable and skinny.

Prior to meeting Shmuel, Bruno exhibited many negative character traits. For example, just after Bruno arrives at Out-With, Bruno begins to complain to Maria, their maid, on all of the “horrible” traits the house possesses: “‘Well, if Father’s job means that we have to move away from our house and the sliding banister and my three best friends for life, then I think Father should think twice about his job, don’t you?’” (Boyne 17). Bruno already misses his old home, which allowed him to play and make his three “best friends for life”. He had enjoyed the familiarness and entertainment of his own home which made moving much harder. At his new house, Bruno is disappointed that he does not have as many opportunities as he had had in Berlin. Not only did Bruno miss his old home, but his new house made him uncomfortable. When gazing out his window, Bruno spots the wall of the concentration camp as “He put his face to the glass and saw what was out there, and this time when his eyes opened wide and his mouth made the shape of an O, and his hands stayed by his sides because something made him feel very cold and unsafe” (Boyne 19). Before meeting Shmuel, Bruno is lonely at Out-With. He has been hoping for an adventurous exploration to go on, yet finding out the unknown about these people makes him uncomfortable. Unsure of the wall’s purpose, the wall gives him an eerie feeling. He does not recognize these people either, nor does he know the reasoning on why they are behind the wall. This is not the kind of adventure Bruno was looking for. Bruno’s life before meeting Shmuel was very lonely and dull, yet after meeting his new friend, Bruno began to rather enjoy his time in Poland.

he finally has someone to talk to for once rather him sitting all alone contemplating everything he has in his mind and bugging his father, he finally has someone to express his emotions to. This decision changed Bruno as he would after wards continue a conversation with the boy and they would both share each other’s stories. If it wasn’t enough Bruno was now bringing food to the boy that is “Shmuel” without anyone’s permission. But this wouldn’t be the last change Bruno goes through as now Bruno will cross all lines and take the most drastic measure in the
