I want to rewrite The Boy in the Striped Pajamas in another character's point of view. I don't know which character I should choose.

Question

ipwnbunnies · Answer

To me, I think the most obvious alternate point of view would be from Shmuel's side. His feels, thoughts, experiences from inside the camp and from his interactions with Bruno.

I thought about him or his father. His father is a bit older, and understands what is going on. Plus, when he goes missing, Bruno and Shmuel don't know where he is. Maybe writing about what happens to him?

Shmuel's father? That sounds interesting. But I don't remember much about him at all. ;-;

accidentalaichan · Answer

He's only mentioned near the end when he goes missing and Bruno sneaks into the camp to help Shmuel find him.

Oh, is that really it? >w< 
Then, if you were to rewrite the novel from his POV, it would just be a story of an Auschwitz patient, I guess? /),(\
