1. In a paragraph or two compare (similarities) and contrast (differences) Night and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Some things movies had in common were the gas chambers, how scary this was, all the yelling, the crematoriums, and people being beaten. Some differences the movies had were that a pretty healthy kid should't have been sent to the gas chamber without selection, Schmuel would have been caught sitting behind the pile of stuff everyday and would have been punished.
2. Choose 1 character from Night or one character from Boy in the Striped Pajamas to analyze. Make note (explain) of their physical appearance, character traits, feelings, demeanor, thoughts, etc. Bruno from Boy in Striped PJ's was a very quiet person in the beginning of the movie, he slowly got more talkative and adventurous. He had bright blue eyes and he was a bit skinny, kind of kept to himself a lot. Bruno didn't realize what was really happening at the camps, he really just thought that the camp was a home for Jew, in which it was but he didn't realize how horrible they were until he crawled under the fence and went to Schmuel's hut to find Schmule's father only to be herded in a big pile of people into what they thought would be a shower but ended up being the gas chamber where they were killed. 3. How have your thoughts or understandings of the Holocaust changed since completing this unit (background research, Night, Boy in the Striped Pajamas? Since a few years ago I have been really stumped by the Holocaust because it was such a confusing process and why any human would even think about doing that to another is sick. Since reading Night my head has been a little more wrapped around one question, why? Through out the whole book I wondered why they did this to Jews, it's only a religion! 4. Which did you like better and why (book or movie)? I liked the book Night better because I think the author was able to express what he had been through very well and it came across very clear when he was explaining something. 5. Any final thoughts or questions you have regarding either the book, movie, or Holocaust in general? I really thought this was a good unit to study and I've always found the Holocaust very interesting.
