Assigned Blog #3

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was the movie i chose to watch and do my assigned blog on. I really enjoyed this movie. I will admit I cried a little. This movie really showed me what World War II was all about and how the jews suffered during the Holocaust.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was about a boy named Bruno who moved to the countryside because his dad took a job as a prison camp commander. Bruno could see from his bedroom window all of these men in striped pajamas. He becomes very curious and wanders over to see what its all about. He comes across a barbed wire fence, and on the other side was a boy, his age, named Schmuel. Bruno and Schmuel become very close friends. Bruno visited Schmuel everyday bringing him food, playing games and just to talk until one day Schmuel wasnt there. Bruno finds out that Schmuel is a jew. A few days later Schmuel is back and tells Bruno how it is terrrible behind the fence and how his dad is missing. One day Bruno's dad tells him and his family that they are moving back. Schmuel is very upset that his friend is leaving him. So one day Bruno goes back to the barbed wire fence where Schmuel brought him some striped pajamas so they can go and find Schmuel's dad and he crawls under the fence. Come to find out Bruno does not like it in there and wants to go back home but he cant because him and Schmuel get caught up in a crowd and are put into a gas chamber and killed.
