  1. Conflict- Person vs Society

    In my opinion, I thought the conflict in the book " The Boy In The Striped Pajamas " was person vs society. I think this because Bruno's new friend Shumel is a prisoner at a Nazi camp.

    Setting - In the beginning it takes place in Berlin, and the middle-end it takes place in Poland.

    Protagonist - I think the protagonist is Bruno. Bruno is a 9 year old boy who likes to adventure and is the son of a major Nazi soldier. He is really nice by trying to help his new friend find his dad.

    Antagonist - In my opinion the antagonist is the Nazi soldiers. I think this because the Nazi's punish the people of the Jewish religion for no reason!

      Conflict - Good job on this section! But you need to add some information, for example what family did the Nazis force out of their home?

      Setting - In my opinion, you can add when was the setting in Poland? When was it in Berlin?

      Protagonist - Add more detail, for example, how does he help his friends?

      Antagonist - Why is the Nazis antagonist? What did they do?

  3. 1.) Conflict- Person vs. Society
    The conflict is person vs. society because Bruno's father had to move there, but it wasn't in his hands. I think those Nazi soldiers had forced Bruno's family to move out of there home.

    2.)Setting-
    Berlin and Poland.
    The year it took place was around 1943.

    3.)Protagonist- Bruno
    Bruno is a nine year old boy who is the son of a Nazi soldier. He is very curious when it comes to his fathers job. Bruno has an older sister named Gretal.

    4.)Antagonist- Nazis
    I think that the antagonist is the Nazi soldiers. Since they treat Jewish people very unfairly, (persecution).

    2. @ Sandy squirrel i really enjoyed reading your post but i think you should add why Bruno is the protagonist instead of talking about his life other than that you did a really good job. :)

  4. @granger08

    Conflict - Good job! All you have is a few capitalization errors, for example, " The conflict is person vs Society. " You don't have to capitalize society. Also concentration doesn't need to be capitalized.

    Setting - Doesn't the book also take place in Berlin? Add detail about when it took place in Berlin.

    Protagonist - Why is he protagonist? What does he do that is nice?

    Antagonist - What do the Nazis do that is mean, unfair, cruel, brutal, and selfish?

    I thing the conflict is person vs society because its like bruno's friends and family against the nazi's

    setting-
    place- Berlin Germany poland
    time- world war two 1943

    Protagonist- I think the protagonist in this is book is Bruno because he is the main person in the book and a little bit about bruno is he is a young boy and he is nine years old and he goes on a journey and he has to move to a new house.

    Antagonist- I think the Antagonist in this book is the Nazi Soldiers because they are the bad ones in the book and they kill people also they treat people very unfairly.

  9. I liked your work but I noticed that you spelled a couple of things wrong. I also think that you should join together the two sentences in setting. Overall, I like your post.

    Spelling
    - soilders (soldiers)
    - puting (putting)
