The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a fictional story that offers a unique perspective on how prejudice, hatred and violence affect innocent people, particularly children, during wartime. Through the lens of an eight-year-old boy largely shielded from the reality of World War II, we witness a forbidden friendship that forms between Bruno, the son of Nazi commandant at a concentration camp, and Shmuel, a Jewish boy held captive in a concentration camp.
Though the two are separated physically by a barbed wire fence, their lives become inescapably intertwined.
Set during World War II, a story seen through the innocent eyes of Bruno, whose forbidden friendship with a Jewish boy on the other side of the camp fence has startling and unexpected consequences.
After watching the movie, answer the following questions:
1. What did Bruno see through his window?
2. Who was Pavel? How had his life changed during the war?
3. What atrocities against the Jews could you observe in the movie?
4. What changes did you observe in Gretel?
5. Why did Gretel change?
6. What is a concentration camp for you?
7. What did the teacher teach to Bruno and Gretel?
8. What happened to Pavel?
9. What do you think about the Holocaust?
10. Who was your favorite character and why?
I’ve only tried one essay service but I can tell you that the website I used was really solid. It’s called WritePaper.Info. Basically you get to pick a writer and you can communicate with them through an internal chat system which makes explaining how to do specific assignments a lot easier (especially if your teacher is a hard-ass like mine was.) Good luck with your paper!
ReplyDeleteI can definitely recommend a website that really helped me with my essay. I found out it was due the day before I had to submit it. Went into full-on panic mode. Worst experience of my senior year by far. It’s called DigitalEssay.net. The quality of the writing is passable but the completion rate is super quick. You get to pick your own writer to do your stuff and that’s also a big bonus.
