Hey there!

I don't remember the story's specifics that well, but I do remember the gist of it and what the author is trying to communicate. 

Basically, the author is trying to communicate that beyond religion, race, and any other factor that might make people different from others, we are all the same, regardless of those factors. This is the main metaphor of the fence, which divides the world into two and separates the members of the concentration camp from the outside world. 

Through Bruno and Shmuel's friendship, we get to see that, even though their situations are wildly different, they become best friends and don't see themselves as different from one another. Shmuel didn't become friends with Bruno because of the material possessions that he had, nor did Bruno become friends with Shmuel out of sympathy. They became friends because they genuinely wanted to be friends with one another. 

In short, everyone is the same, no matter who they are, what they believe, or what factors about them make them different to others on the outside. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

I recently read this book. The message that the author of this book is trying to convey is that we are all the same. Also, the fence represents the boundary that people commonly place between themselves and others based on race, gender, religion, etc. When Bruno puts on the pajamas, this represents how such a little change can make the biggest difference.

Compare Mr. White's feelings about the monkey's paw when he makes the first wish,
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

His attitude in making all three wishes reveal that he had changed from being expectant (first wish) to being scared (second and third wish).

Explanation:

The short story "The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs evolve around the wish-granting item of a monkey's paw that was acquired by Mr. White, the protagonist of the story. The story delves into the themes of myth, superstition, greed, and death.

After acquiring the monkey's paw from Sergeant-Major Morris, Mr. White did not really have any belief in the story of the wish-granting ability. But pressurized by his wife and son, he decided to "test" the charm and wished for <em>"two hundred pounds"</em> so that they can pay off the mortgage for the house. He was at first skeptical about the wish coming true but when he got the right amount, though, at the cost of his son's life, he began to get scared.

His second wish was to bring his son back, again after being pressurized by his wife. To him, the first wish was <em>"A c-c-coincidence"</em> and even stated <em>"It is foolish and wicked"</em> to wish for another thing, that too, for his son to be brought back alive after the gruesome way he died. And when the knocking started, he was petrified for what was to be at the door. The line <em>'"A rat,” said the old man shakily – "a rat. It passed me on the stairs."' </em>reveals the real nature of the old man when he hears the knocking at the door.

And then, after realizing that it was probably their dead son coming alive again, Mr. White<em> "was on his hands and knees feeling around wildly on the floor in search of the paw"</em> so that he can make his third wish and make <em>"the thing"</em> at the door go away. The very nature of addressing whoever/ whatever was at the door as<em> "the thing"</em> suggests that whatever was there is something that isn't natural. Mr. White's frantic reaction and wish to make the knocking stop shows his scared reaction to the wishes he had made.
