What are the consequences of ' just accepting the situation in which you find yourself [so] everything will be so much easier'?(Boyne 53)Bruno's father to Bruno.
When I read this question I thought, “I want to answer this question”. This is represented so much in WW2 and it was an interesting topic. You se a lot of it in The boy in the striped pajamas. The father accepts Hitler’s views and is willing to kill thousands of Jews for false accusations. This is the first consequence. Since they accepted this he was able to make it feel right to kill a certain group of people, leading to an almost extermination of all Jews in Europe. If he hadn’t accepted he might have been able to get more people to agree and then 6 million Jews would have been saved. The mother would have been able to save her family the pain and save her self from depression if she hadn’t accepted from the start. She changed to late. Gretel could have saved her mother from depression if she hadn’t accepted Hitler’s ways and then started supporting him. Kotler could be living with his father in Switzerland if he hadn’t accepted the Nazi’s and joined them.
Rose Blanche also shows signs of acceptance that led to horrible deaths. If the city hadn’t accepted Hitler then the people hadn’t accepted and then the Russians wouldn’t have come and ruined their lives. Because they accepted also the Jews lives where ruined in the concentration camps. It’s not a good idea to accept if in the end everyone’s hurt.
Because everyone accepted many people lost their lives. If they hadn’t accepted John Boyne’s book would be about there greatness, if they hadn’t accepted this text would be about their bravery, not there acceptance.
