Response To Literature By: Stanley George
Key Observations • I noticed how the older sister was conforming to the environment around her. Bruno did not really care what other people around him thought. It almost seemed as if the older sister was just trying to please someone through her opinions, which is a wrong thing because sometimes the wrong things you stand for can influence your mind, attitude, and desires. And this certainly did happen to Bruno’s older sister.
Key Observations • I do realize that at the beginning the mother was anti-Semitic. Her opinions about Jews slowly started to change when she found that the house servant who was a Jew was treating to her son’s views. The difference between Bruno’s mother and his father was that the mother in a way looked at the heart of a person, you can tell this by her reaction to the fact that the Jewish man helped her son. But the Father on the other hand only listened to what the Nazi’s had to say. He never stopped to observe the real characteristics of Jews. He instead chose to be stubborn and without really thinking about it chose to follow the hard headed ways of the Nazi’s
Main Idea of the Story • I think the main idea of the story was probably EMPATHY. Unfortunately the Father had to learn empathy the hard way. Empathy is kind of being like in another person’s shoes. The father did not really know how it was to feel the way a Jewish father feels when he can’t find his son, or the father now knows after this experience how a Jewish father feels when he knows that his son died a horrible death. So now he is in a Jewish father’s shoes.
What I like about the Movie • I like the fact that this movie leaves the viewer to make any moral they wanted to. This movie has more than one moral, because people view things differently and so the Main idea that I wrote was just my opinion. My favorite scene of this story is the ending. I know what you’re thinking what sort of person would like the horrible end to this movie. The thing is that the director left the viewer to assume the ending.
