Book “The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas”

John battle of Boynes novel The Boy in the stripe Pyjamas published in 2006 tells the explanation by using a nine year old boy as the narrator to show the world through his look. The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is a powerful story beca wont it is told from Brunos perspective. The novel is set in the years of World War 2 and the colorcast where many Jewish families awake(p) their lives in fear of the Hitler and the Germans. Boyne has used many different languages in the novel such as Tone, Literacy Devices and Characterization to show the different features and perspectives from Bruno.The way Boyne reveals Shmuel makes the reader truly feel remorseful for this boy and the way he is being treated by the soldiers. Boyne Cleverly uses imagery and symbolism to describe Shmuel from Brunos perspective. His skin was almost the colour of grey, but not quite like any grey Bruno has ever seen before. He had very large eyes and they were the colour of caramel sweets. (p. 106-107. ) Boyne h as impressively used imagery to show and represent people through Brunos innocent and naive eyes and re altogethery encourages the reader to read on.In the novel the way Boyne uses characterization, helps to show the different characteristics of Bruno and how he represents other characters from his perspective. Whos the fury? asked Bruno. Your pronouncing it wrong said father pronouncing it correctly. The peevishness Bruno said again but failing. (p. 117). Boyne uses this, to describe to the reader that Bruno is a naive and innocent young boy. Boyne uses implied meanings as you may have make Boyne never mention Hitler but rather says fury and makes the novel really impacts the reader. Boyne uses a lot of one in his novel to post the feelings been told through the story.By the way Boyne has represented the way the soldiers laughed and mocked the children makes the reader leave with a distaste of the soldiers and are remorseful for the children. But then one of the soldiers lunged towards them and they scattered and seemed to do what he wanted them to do all along, which was to stand in a single line. When they did, the soldiers all started to laugh and applaud them. (p. 37). It shows that the soldiers were horrible people, they pushed and laughed at all the children in the concentration camp and didnt care one bit if it hurt them.The feeling that you get when you read this book, it is sad and depressing, which can explain wherefore it is a very powerful story. The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas heavily impacts the reader in every way, making the novel very powerful. Boyne uses a younger innocent and naive boy, like Bruno, to tell the story by the view of a young child. Boyne uses Bruno as a narrator to cozy up the prejudice that causes adults to behave badly and unkindly towards others. Using a naive narrator it confronts the reader about their own beliefs and values. The way Boyne cleverly use tone, characterization and literacy devices impacts the story g reatly.
