Boy In The Striped Pajamas Movie Vs Book

The book The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne and the movie “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” are similar and different. Three similarities are that Bruno falls off the swing, Pavel spills the wine, and Bruno and Shmuel’s plan to find his ‘papa’. Three differences are Shmuel’s little snack, pPropaganda, and Elsa’s (mother) reaction to the information that Jews are being killed.

The similarities between the book and movie are shown in many ways. One way that the movie and book are similar is that Bruno falls of the tire swing that he makes. In the novel, Bruno hurts his knee and elbow and when he falls the tire comes back and hit his head. But in the film Bruno only hurts hurts his knee not his elbow and tries to get up. But in both

For example first you see Mother with her eyes red as if she had been crying a lot, then she stops doing her make-up and hair, then she has a huge fight with Father which keeps Bruno and Gretel awake. But, the Jews were still being gassed and treated horribly, and Mother still does 100% not agree or like it along with the Grandmother. The last contrast was the propaganda. In the novel, Bruno didn't know why it was so bad to be in the camp because he never knew or watched anything that influenced his brain in that
