What Is The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas Book Vs Movie
For this assignment, I read and watched the heart-wrenching story, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. This story is considered historical fiction, because it is about a Nazi family living during the Holocaust, but the family is fictional. Bruno, the youngest in the family, is not happy to be moving away from their home in Berlin. They get to their new house, near Auschwitz, which Bruno calls “the farm” in the movie. He goes exploring outside of his year (strictly against his mothers rules) and finds a boy sitting on the other side of the fence. Schmuel lives in the concentration camp with his father. They are an unlikely friendship, but end up needing each other’s conversation to get through each day. The original story was written in 2006, in Ireland, spelling the title “The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas” due to the European spelling of the word. Two years later, Mark Herman directed the movie version of the story.
