Pajamas

I chose to read the book The Boy in Striped Pajamas because the culture is different then mine. “Mother he insisted. What’s going on? Are we moving”(6)? At this point of the story Bruno has discovered that he has to move due to his dad's job. ‘But what other children?’ asked Gretel. ‘Where are they?” (19-20) Bruno is now realizing that there are other children around. But he realizes that there are only boys and no girls. ‘Well, we are home, Bruno’(28-30). Bruno doesn’t like the house where he lives with his parents. They had to move because of his dad’s job. In our culture sometimes we have to move due to parents jobs. “Who are all those people outside”(31-32)? Bruno asked his dad that question. His dad tries to explain to Bruno why…

Pajama's are comfortable and should be able to be worn. It's not a distraction, they are just clothes. A lot of people get distracted easily and the school is just blaming it on what people wear. Also, girls can wear shirts that go down to the middle of their chests and not have anything said to them about it. When a girl has a little bit of their stomach exposed they are sent home to change or just yelled at. I know because this happened to me. That's just not right at all. The things that…

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas came out when I was seventh grade. I remember there was so much buzz going around my school after the movie was released; which is really surprising to me, now that I think about it.

For years, even after watching all of the films in class, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas will always be my favorite Holocaust movie. The Boy in the…

Many wars in history occurred because of the disagreements of who was better and who didn't matter.…
