ReplyDeleteThe way I can relate to The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is he is doesn't understand why they are having to move and he is confused and I have been confused and not have understood things before.The conflict is he doesn't understand, he is confused, he has move, and he loses his three best friends for life.They setting is near a concentration in his new home.
I think this book relates to me by personal experience. The part of the book that relates to me is when Bruno is super upset when he moves because when I moved I was super upset. Also the fact that Bruno had to leave his best friends and he was really hurt. It sucks moving; especially when you have to leave things you love behind.

ReplyDeleteThe main characters are Gretel, Bruno, Maria the maid, Father, Mother, the butler. Carl, Daniel and Martin are his three best friends for life that he has to leave. The setting is at his home near a concentration camp in Germany.
I can't relate to the book, but I think my uncle can when he went to jail (concentration camp, and not having good treatment. Especially when the food is garbage,not literally. But the problem is when are you getting out or if you even will get out. imagine how the Jews felt. While outside the concentration camp people are waiting for you to come and be safe. Just in the book.

ReplyDeleteBruno, Gretel, Maria ( the maid), the Butler, Father, and Mother have to move from their beautiful home to a place called Out- With for the fathers job. Out- With was a home located near a concentration camp. Bruno hates this place and just wants to go home.
This book relates to a book I read a few weeks ago called Milkweed. Just like The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas it took place during the holocaust. Both books have a main character that is a young boy,who is very curious as to what is going on. Also they give you a feel of what it was truly like to live or be involved during the holocaust.
Bruno is sad that he moved from Berlin leaving his friends. But he decides that he will be in his new house a while so he has to make the best of it.

I can relate to this novel because I am like Bruno. He is confused why he has to leave and go to another place. Im similar because I had to move to many different schools countless times when I was about Bruno's age and didn't know why until now.

ReplyDeleteBruno , Gretal , Mother , butler , & The Maid had to move from this huge house because of fathers job. Bruno & Gretal are taking this situation hard because they had to leave their bestfriends. In out-with their is no one to play with and the kids are always bored. I can relate to this because when i was nine i had to move because of A distubance in my life and had to leave all my bestfriends. I was confused why i had to move !
I think this author wrote this book because he wanted to show how bad it was during the holocaust. I think he wanted to show the audience that these innocent people had to struggle and be hated for no reason. I Believe he disagreed with hitler.

ReplyDeleteThis book reminds me of the book The Devil's Arithmetic
1. I think the author wrote this book to give the opinion of one of one the people involved in holocaust, point of view, my example from the book, is when bruno saw huts and gates and people in striped pajamas.
ReplyDelete1.Bruno, How do you think your father's job effect you as you get older?
2.Why was moving so bad for you?
3.How do you feel the move effected your sister?
4.What do you think that name meant that the general called that man that fixed your cut?
5.Who do you think are those people walking around that courtyard in the striped pajamas?

ReplyDeleteConflicts-
One of the main conflicts in this book is that Bruno has to move away from his wonderful home to a horrible place called Out-With.It was small, had soldiers constantly come in and out but most of all had no kids around to play with. Bruno resolved this problem by finally realizing that this was his new home, and soon those things didn't bother him. Also when he went exploring he met a friend that he visited every day.
- Yes, my book is very much realistic due to the fact that it took place in a historic event, which was the Holocaust. Just like the Holocaust, in The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas people had to move away from their homes and families to horrible places. Bruno had to move to Out-With because of his fathers job, Shemel had to move to a concentration camp simply because he was a Jew. The book also explains how horrible conditions where for the Jews, and how bad they were treated. Bruno's friend was skinner than any normal human being and he got yelled at for silly things. The sad part is these things really happened, making this book very much realistic.
I think the author wrote the book because,he wanted to show the reader a perspective of the holocaust and its effects on others such as, Bruno and his family moving from Berlin to Out-With and Bruno disliking Out-With at first, but eventually adapting to its environment. The book also shows hope and redemption for others such as, Schmuel befriending Bruno and Pavel being nice to Bruno after he fell off the swinging wheel. And became friends since then.
ReplyDelete1. Why didn't you tell your parents about the way you felt about "The Fury"?
ReplyDelete2. Do you personally wish to go back to Berlin with Schmuel?
3. Do you truly care about your sister, Gretal?
4. Why didn't you tell your father, the way Lieutenant Kotler treated you?
5. Do you wish at times, you were the older sibling instead of Gretal?

ReplyDeletewhy do you think the author wrotte this book?
i think the author wrote thhis book to inform people about a point in life when jews were treated as Non-humans from a view point of two boys.

Moving from a beatiful home in berlin to a worthless dumb in poland i find a boy behind a neiborhood slump dressed in strips controled all there life behind a fence in polands strife wo meet and share there life between a fence where things divid.
This book on a scale feom 1-10 earns a 9.3! Its really good and interesting when you start reading you dont want to stop! I would definitely reccomend this book to any middle school kid.What i like is that the author kept it real the facts were never false so yea a 9.3 is a pretty fair rating. :D
ReplyDeleteBY: JUAN A.
I am reading the boy in the striped pajamas and I rate it as a 10. The thing I liked most is that the book always keeps you guessing as to what is going to happen next. What I dislike is how it ends and it only tells you that you never see him again. I would recommend this book to somebody who is an advanced reader who does not mind having to read between the lines. Yes I think this book should be in the literature circle next year because it is a good educational book that is still able to keep you entertained.
ReplyDeleteTerrence G.
My overral rating for this is a 8! I beileve the book has excellent ending and plot and climax...... but the book failed to keep my attention. I was bored with some of the dialouge. Has a book it is the writers job to keep the readers attention. But overral its a great book.
ReplyDeleteboy in the striped pajamas
ReplyDeleteRate your book from 1-10 with 10 being the highest possible rating.i rate this book by a 10.
What did you like best about the book? what i like the most about this book that its during the time of the holocuast and i love the holocuast.
What did you dislike? i have no dislikes about the book.
What kind of reader would you recommend this book to? i would recommend this book to somebody who likes the holocuast.
Do you think it should be on the literature circle list next year? Why/ Why not? yes because, this book is a good book and it helps you learn about what a real friend is like.
Give specific examples from the book to support your opinions. when bruno sneaked into the camp at the end of the book and died in a gas chamber. and another example is every afternoon when bruno came to see shumeal he brought him food.
I think that this book would be good for someone who wants to know about the holocaust. I rate this book about a 8 I liked the face that it is from the view of a little kid and he didn’t understands what was happening, I thought that it was sad that he died with his friend but he didn’t even know what was happening though think that it will be a good idea to use this as a book in the literature circle book
ReplyDeleteChris cole
mrs.jacobs i think the author wrote this book in experience or having a connection with the hollacaust.in the book they talked about events that deals with when they caught all the jews and killed them.for the next question:i think this book can go for realistic because i mean the events did happen.they told true things btu instead of the author's perspective. (ROBERT ALEXANDER)
ReplyDeleteI would rate this book as a 7, because it is an interesting book but for people with a short attention span like me it was very tedious at times. I liked the ending of the book because it showed Father that what he was doing was wrong, and he got a feel of how he was making millions of other fathers feel. I didn’t like the way the author made Bruno so self centered. I would recommend this book to the avid reader who has a pretty decent attention span. I do not recommend this book for literature circle book just because most students don’t have a decent attention span.

One of the main conflicts in this book is that Bruno has to move away from his home in Berlin to a horrible place called Out-With.It was small, had soldiers constantly come in and out but most of all had no kids around to play with.he didnt like Out-With because he did not have any body to play with

noah mark papp
ReplyDeleteI would rate this book a 8. What i like the best in this book is that the big ending of the book u would never see it come at the begining or in the middle. I would recommend this book to people that whant to know what went on back then. Yes i think it should be on the literatuer circle next year. Because its vere educatinal to people that dont know about the holocost.
From 1-10,I'll rate this book a 9. The thing that i liked best about this book is that how Bruno is little and wants to know everything that's happening so he asks a lot of questions to his family about whats going on. The type of reader that i would recommend this book to is a fun person that like reader good books. Yes i think that it would be on the literature circle list next year because its a good book with many words that makes you think about what it means.

Milena Walch: period 2 poem
ReplyDelete“Why”
I have to move to a place
I’m not sure why
They call it Out-With
Its dirty and smelly
And now its my home
Its small and in the middle of no where
I look out my window and see a long fence
I look harder and see many people
They are wearing stripped pajamas
I wonder why they are there
I Wish I could go and play
But I’m not allowed
My father said they’re not people
Which made no sense to me
But then one day I go and explore
I meet a young boy
His name was Shemel
He was pale and skinny
So I gave him some food
I want to go over the fence and play
But I’m not allowed
I don’t know why
My sister says, because they’re Jews
Which made no sense to me
So still I ask why
Now I must leave Out-With
And say my goodbyes
But before I go, I go over the fence
To the other side
But I never come back
And noone knows why
Why

ReplyDeleteI rate this book a 10. I loved it, it had a great plot and seemed really realistic.
I loved the characters and how you felt as if you were in the story. I love how Bruno was so curious about everything that was going on. I loved how when I read this book I was in the mind of a child. I loved how I never wanted to put the book down. I didn’t dislike anything about this book. The ending made me want to cry, but stuff like really happened, which is what makes the book so great. I would most defiantly recommend this for the literature circle next year. It’s a great book and has a good vocabulary. It helps you to understand what went on during the holocaust. I would recommend this book to any reader that likes a good story, or that likes historical fiction, but that can also deal with the sad ending. Honestly I think this book is good for any reader. I really enjoyed reading it!
