Boy in the Striped Pyjamas Movie Review Essay

The boy in the Striped Pajamas, written by John Boyle is a fictional novel of the un sameiest of friendships, the son of a national socialist commandant and a Jew suffering in the largest concentration camp. I consider honour that is created by a sheltered and caring family is an important motif of the novel. Bruno was unaw be that his father was a Nazi commander or that he is living right next door to Auschwitz concentration camp. His parents were trying to treasure him from hearing the truth or understanding the reality of what was happening away(p) his window.Brunos innocence and vulnerability caused him to misunderstand the situation around him. He hears Auschwitz as Out-with and also incorrectly hears the Fuhrer as the Fury. Athough he was best friends with Shmuel, he was completely oblivious to the situation Shmuel was in. No unrivalleds of all time given me an arm band, said Bruno. But I never asked to smash one, said Shmuel. All the same, said Bruno, I think Id quite like one. I dont know which one Id prefer though, your one or Fathers. This shows that the innocence of a protected childhood results in a misunderstood reality.When expression back at my childhood, I can see how my parents protected me from around harsh realities that other children face. I had no idea what a unconnected family was since I had a stable and caring family. I would hear stories on the news of child abuse and violence but never authentically understood how that would feel. It was not until I was older and I realised issues like this are actually out there and it is the enviroment many children grow up in. I believe another important theme in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, is bullying. Throughout the novel the Nazis demonstrated their hatred for the Jews.The Nazis believed they were oftentimes more important than the Jews and they deserved to die. Lieutenant Kurt Kotler was one example of a bully in the novel. He abused and hated the familys Jewish servant, Pave l. Pavel held his cap before him in his hands and nodded, which made his head electric arc heretofore lower than it already was. Yes, sir, he said in a quiet voice, so quiet that he may not even have said it at all. And afterwards, when you return to the kitchen, make sure you serve your hands before touching any of the food, you filthy- Lieutenant Kotler repeated the news show he had used twice already and he spat a little as he spoke.This was how he spoke to Pavel. Lieutenant Kurts rank put him in a position of power all over the Jews. I see a similarity of this in high school. some(a) older students believe they are much more important than the jr. students just because they have been there longer. Some act like they are better than everyone else. Younger people then go through the jr. high school years feeling terrible and miserable most themselves.
