About 11,000,000 people died during the Holocaust, which was organized by Adolf Hitler. Hitler was Chancellor of Germany from 1933-1945 (12 years). There were about 23 main concentration camps during the Holocaust. Auschwitz was one of them. 6,000,000 of the 11,000,000 people that died were Jews. Shmuel could’ve been one of those Jews. Bruno could’ve been one of the other 5,000,000. The book might not have been true, but it was based on the truth. The movie, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is not as good as the book, because the book is more detailed, and interesting.
The book, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas characters have different relationships than in the movie. The Mother’s and Lieutenant Kotler’s relationship is very different in the movie compared to the book. In the movie, Mother doesn't seem to enjoy Kotler’s company very much. Although, he seems very close to the family in the the movie and book, Kotler and Mother seem to have a special bond in the book. The character’s relationships are very different in many ways.
In the movie, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, the scenes are cut a lot shorter than in the book. For

example, Bruno and Gretel do not get lice in the movie, as they do in the book. In the book, Bruno’s father made him shave his head because of the lice, therefore he looked a lot like Shmuel. In the movie, Bruno just put on a cap to cover up his hair when he snuck into the camp. There are many scenes that are cut in the movie, and it is more based on a single storyline. There are few similarities between the book and the movie, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, but one of them are that the endings are overall the same.
Ib both, the reason why Bruno goes with Shmuel to the other side of the fence is to find Shmuel’s papa because he’s missing. Bruno and Shmuel ended up dying the same way in both versions, although there was much more detail in the book. The book also goes further in time to after the incident. This was the biggest similarity between the book and the movie.
The overall storyline of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was the same, but in the movie there was a lot of detail lef tout. The movie is more basic and doesnt have as much detail about the characters feelings/emotions. Overall, Bruno learned that curiousity kills, and his family learned to be responsible and not take things
forgranted.
There are many differences in the movie that were not in the book. In the movie there is a new character in the movie that was not in the book. This character was David Isay.
The book focuses on the importance of family and friendship. In the movie, segregation and racism are more emphasized. To emphasize segregation and racism, the movie adds characters ( the cousins) and some scenes. In the book segregation is mentioned about three times, once when Momma and Dad are talking (page 5), when Kenny talks about seeing pictures of white people yelling at little African American kids (page 122) and during the bombing (pages 183-190). Joey for example is less whiney and persistent; she does not tattle as much.
In the book the husband was the one who grabbed the black dot paper. And then his whole family had to choose one. His wife ended up being the one who had to be sacrificed. In the movie the husband was at home because he had a broken leg, so his wife was the one who had to choose for him, and ended up with the black dotted one. So her and her daughter both had to draw to see who would be sacrificed. The mom was the one who ended up having to be stoned. Therefore that was a big
While he is there in the camp he sees and experiences many traumatic events, as well as him being the only one out of his family to survive. In the film “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” Bruno is a nine year old German boy who experiences World War ll outside of a concentration camp his father runs. When Bruno gets curious he befriends a Jewish boy inside the camp and decides to come into the camp to help the boy find his father. Bruno and his Jewish friend end up being sent to the gas chambers and die. Both accounts of the Holocaust share many similarities and differences.
There were many things that were the same about the movie and book but I choose the main things that needed to be told. First off, True Son believes that he isn’t white and never will be. This is a very important part of the story so they had to include it in both because it shows how True Son changes throughout the story.
..., the film portrayed the kids being overly whelmed with hatred when they received gifts from their parents. It was like they never knew their parents existed. Another example of the difference between the book and the movie is Mr. Freeman (mother’s boyfriend) was presented as being very reserved with the children. In the movie he was seen as warm, talkative, and friendly towards Maya and her brother. The film also showed Mr. Freeman’s manly behavior by confronting Vivian (Maya’s mother) at her job. However, in the book Mr. Freeman never left the house, he always sat and waited at home for her.
The book The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, by John Boyne is about a young boy, Bruno, whose father is a soldier in the German army during WWII. Bruno lives with his parents and his older sister, Gretel. They live in a five story house in Berlin. He goes to school and has three best friends that he goes on adventures with. One day he comes home to find their maid packing his things. They move to a three story house in Germany because his dad was promoted and needs to be closer to his work.
What happened on the other dark side of the fence in Auschwitz? That 's something that no one wanted to know. More than 6 million jews died in the Holocaust. Nazi soldiers took certain groups of people to concentration camps, where they were put through hard labor and given little food. Many people died of starvation and disease. Hitler was responsible of all of this, he used Jewish and other groups of people as a scapegoat. He then forced other people from Germany or other countries to be part of the army called the Nazis. The Nazis laughed at the people in the camps while they were beaten to death. Auschwitz is the best know camp, more than 1,100,000 people were killed at this camp (Nizkor.org). The main character in The Boy in The Striped Pajamas, Bruno a German was only 9 years old when his family and he moved
The boy in the striped pajamas is a tale of the Nazi and the Jewish. There is a family of two kids and a husband and wife; they all lived in the Nazi Germany. The father was a solder, the boy was named Bruno and was nine years old. At the begging of the movie the father got promoted to a new position and he will be a making decisions for the soldiers, because the father was getting promoted to a higher position the family had to move away from their lovely home in Berlin to a new house in an unfamiliar place called “out with”. When the family arrived to their new home the boy notice that there was nothing around their new house, and he was devastated because he had left his friends behind. Bruno went upstairs and picked the room that he wanted, and while one of their
The movie and the book of ¨The Outsiders¨ are different because the movie shows she sceans that the book never mentioned, in other words the movie was a lot more detailed. It is also different when Ponyboy and the older boys hugged at the hospital. There was a couple differences in between both the movie and the book. I think the movie added and changed some things. The movie sort of started out differently than the book.
The Holocaust was one of the most tragic events in history. More than 6 million Jews were killed while many more were fighting for their lives. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne and Night by Elie Weisel are two different accounts from minors perspective of the events that took place inside the concentration camps. Though these accounts are different they share a lot of similarities.
Certain scenes seemed powerful and well interpreted. Both Ralphs and Piggys were well selected and portrayed in both movies. Simon in the second version seemed too young for the big role he was given in the book. Also if you notice in the second movie, the director added kids of color. A huge drastic change since in the book they were all English boys in during World War II. When you think about it, you imagine them blonde, blue eyes, and fair skin. So to add different ethnics in this movie was a bold move, you wouldn’t know how the people would react to that. Which brings me up the accents of the boys. One movie actual English accent while the other was an American accent. The author emphasized that the boys were English and to put kids with American accents set the thing off. Which brings up the choice of language in both movies. The black and white version they used a lot of dialogue from the book. They mostly made the movie just as the reader would imagine. While in the second movie, the director’s choice of foul language for Jack to use towards Piggy was a shocking reaction to the viewers, as you didn’t expect him to say that.
Bruno describes the different armbands and flags that the Nazi soldiers used to manipulate Germans as well as intimidate Jews with their presence along with “ the flags presented everywhere along the downtown area,” (Boyne 23). Along with the German’s oblivion during the holocaust, Jews were just as much unaware of what was happening to them as well. Shmuel, for example, explains how terrified he was when him and his family were taken from their home and sent to “Outwith “ right in Bruno’s backyard. Shmuel also tells Bruno about his life before the holocaust and even when his normal life starred to change after he came home to his “mother making armbands for us from a special cloth and drawing a star on each one.” (Boyne 126). Because Jews were so unaware of what was happening to them, this caused them to find someone to blame, Germans. While Germans did add to the misery Jews were put through, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas suggests that Jews and Germans truly have nothing to blame on each other but instead the committee and leaders during the holocaust, Nazi soldiers and Adolf
‘The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas’ is a 2006 novel by Irish novelist John Boyne; this is his fourth novel, and the first he has written for children. My classmates and I have read the book and watched the trailer of its newly releasing movie. And I have to say, this novel is really remarkable. The novel truly engages the reader completely into the book and it’s difficult to put down. “Believe me”!!.......the trailer is all the more brilliant, with a high standard quality and exceptionally mind capturing images.
Shmuel appreciates the complexity of the relationship because even after Bruno betrays Shmuel – Shmuel is the one who ended up with the consequences, but forgives
