Answer:
When I was young, I longed to explore the silk road. I grew up a peasant girl, watching the merchants in the market promote the lush fabrics and glittering jewels. The aromas of the spices would flood my humble home on these days. When I grew up, I ran away. Years later I reflect on that day and realize it wasn't very smart. I had no idea of the hardships the road would cause. I didn't even know where it led! Just that they were lands of sweetness and sugar, with majestic elephants and barbaric kings, straight out of a story. When I reached the land of Persia, I was exhausted and half dead. I had joined a caravan at the beginning of my journey and I heard them wondering among themselves in the night, how was I alive? They did not understand my need to see the world, to know what it was like. Persia was magnifecent. I watched as the merchants bartered with them. Managing to get a hold of many beautiful goods. When we left we had restocked our supplies and were ready to move to India. When we reached, I gazed delighted at the ginormous elephants and mischievous monkeys. Dyes and spices made their way into our caravan after this trip. Then, we traveled on to China. The magnificent wall greeted us when we plunged through the mountains. Men and women with almond-shaped eyes greeted us and exchanged some of our goods and dyes for silks. Now that the last leg of our journey was complete, we made our way home. While I probably should not have taken the road, it was an incredible experience for a peasant like me. I saw the world in its glory and in its poverty. I tell you this now, 20 years later, to show you that life has hidden surprises for us along its path. It is up to us to search and find them.

Books compared: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas & Making Bombs for Hitler.
(These two books are similar but have some notable differences which is what makes them great for a comparison.)
Here are the paragraphs:
The two books that I will be comparing are “Making Bombs for Hitler” by Marsha Skrypuch and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne. Both of these stories center around a child’s perspective in World War II. “Making Bombs for Hitler” is a story centered around a young Ukrainian girl named Lida. Lida is not Jewish, but she still faces hardships from both the Nazis and the Soviets. After losing her family, Lida is sent to a work camp since she lied about her age. Lida had proven to be a hard worker, so she received a new work task- a top secret operation. Lida had to make bombs for Hitler and the Nazis. “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” is also about a young child faced with World War II hardships. Eight year old Bruno moves to a new town because of his father’s job promotion. Bruno’s father is a very important member of the Nazi party, and Bruno is sure that one day he will be to. After moving into their new house, Bruno has a lot of free time. He decides to take a walk around his new property, where he meets his new friend Shmuel. But, little did Bruno know that Shmuel was a Jewish boy in a concentration camp. What happens next is tragic.
These two books have many similarities. For starters, both books have very similar settings. Both of the stories take place in Europe during World War II. Another similarity is that in both stories, a child is the protagonist. Both Lida and Bruno are eight years old. The next similarity that I found present in both stories is that the protagonist is both stories is also not Jewish. Bruno’s father is a Nazi and Lida is presumably Catholic (since she has a cross necklace.) And lastly, in both stories, both Lida and Bruno befriend a Jewish person. Bruno befriends Shmuel, which makes up the overall storyline of the book. And Lida befriends a Jewish girl named Zenia. So, the overall atmosphere of both stories, the plot details, and the two major protagonists are all similar.
Although the stories do have a lot of general similarities, they also have a lot of differences too. One of the biggest differences in the book is the main character’s situation. Other than the danger that Bruno puts himself in, Bruno is safe. He is not in a work or concentration camp, and he has the Nazi Party’s protection. Whereas, Lida is in great danger. The Nazi party is against her, and they are the reason why she is in a work camp. Everyday Lida experiences torturous conditions, while all of Bruno’s danger is self inflicted. Another difference between the two is that Bruno had his family. He lived with his father, his mother, and his older sister. Lida, however, lost all of her family because of the war. The only family member that Lida had was her sister, and then they were separated. The final difference in these two stories is the ending. In the ending of “Making Bombs for Hitler” everything turns out okay for Lida. She is rescued by an American soldier, and she receives a letter from her sister. Where as in comparison, the ending of “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” is heartbreaking. Simply stated, no one gets a happy ending. The endings even signify different meanings, in that “Making Bombs for Hitler’s” ending inspires hope and new beginnings, while “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” ending signified grief and then end of something good.
