Schindler's List

This novel is look like the boy in the striped pyjamas´novel because in both novel we can see the Jews suffering by the Nazis. This novel is harder than striped pyjama´s novel becuase Nazis killed very hard the Jews and there is a lot of violence and it is clasiffication B.

Also this movie is look like striped pyjamas´ novel because in this novel Schindler help the Jews to not suffer and in the other novel Bruno helps Shmule to scape.

Jews under the age of 18 years

John Boyne stated that some Jews under the age of 18 were sent to work for a few months, and then killed.
Some children were employed as camp messengers and were treated as a kind of curiosity, while every day an enormous number of children of all ages were killed in the gas chambers.


This information that John Boyne, the author, said is something terrible because kids in the camp were killed in the gas chamber and thats something that we can see at the end of the novel when Bruno and Shmuel were killed in the gas chamber.


Also, it is hard to hear this but it is real and hard in the Jews´live.

The boy in the striped pyjamas 2 ?

I dont thinks this is a good idea, becuase the principal character dead and theres not something we can do to revive Bruno and Shmuel.

A gas chamber

Neither boy knows where this march will lead. However, they are soon crowded into a gas chamber, which Bruno assumes is a place to keep them dry from the rain until it stops. 
 Bruno's family spent several months at their home trying to find Bruno, before his mother and Gretel return to Berlin, only to discover he is not there as they had expected. A year after, his father returns to the spot that the soldiers found Bruno's clothes and discovers that the fence was not properly attached at the base and can form a gap big enough for a boy of Bruno's size to fit through. Using this information, his father eventually pieces together that they gassed Bruno to death.

This part make me cry, because it was something unexpected. I was too sad because Bruno´s family was looking for Bruno and Bruno was already death in the gas chamber. 

The final adventure

The story ends with Bruno about to go back to Berlin with his mother and sister on the orders of his father. As a final adventure, he agrees to dress with a striped pyjamas and across the fence to help Shmuel find his father, who went missing in the camp. The boys are unable to find him.  Bruno decides he would like to go home, but the Nazi guard start them on a march with Jew´s people.


This part was something that surprised me because Bruno help s Shmuel to find his father, doesnt care what happens. Bruno and Shmuel got in trouble with the Nazi guard, and Bruno couldn´t go home. In the last part, this make me sad.
