My story is The Boy in the Striped Pajamas Use the text and your analysis to prepare two interpretive or evaluative discussion questions, then identify the type of question you have created. Question Is your question interpretive or evaluative? 1. 2.

Question 1: What is the meaning of Bruno's clothes?

Question 2: Why didn't Bruno's grandmother agree with his father's new position?

Explanation:

The two questions above are interpretive questions, as they require the student to reflect on the meanings of elements added to the story, which can often go unnoticed, but which contain very important information. In summary, the interpretative questions seek to discover how much the student understood about the work.

In the first question, it is necessary for the student to reflect on how much Bruno believes that his clothes are uncomfortable. This element is directly related to how Bruno feels about the family, the house and the life he is living, showing how he feels uncomfortable, displaced and anguished.

The second question requires the student to reflect on Bruno's grandmother's position on Nazism and on Bruno's father's involvement in this system.

"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" tells the story of how Bruno, the son of a Nazi officer, befriends a Jewish boy who is trapped in a concentration camp.

for this case, we must find the number of deaths per day of the year 2015, in automobile accidents, knowing that 32,400 people died.

knowing that the year 2015 had 365 days we have the following division:

where "x" represents the number of deaths per day.

rounding off we have:

approximately, 89 people per day died in 2015

answer:

89 people per day

what: when quoting a source, use the author’s words verbatim, or word-for-word. this means you shouldn’t change any grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. put quotations around the words to tell your reader where the quote begins and where it ends.

you also need to acknowledge the author. for example, if using mla format for your research paper, you should have in-text citations with the author’s name and page number listed at the end of each quote.

when: use quotations to provide concrete examples to support your claims. using direct quotations is a great way to build your credibility on the subject. it’s also a good idea to quote your source when the author states things in a powerful way. if you think he or she said it best, then use the exact words to share the ideas.

example: in the short story “a jury of her peers”, mrs. hale compares mrs. wright to her caged bird, saying “she—come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself. real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and—fluttery. how—she—did—change” (glaspell).

paraphrasing

what: paraphrasing differs from quoting because you restate the passage in your own words. since you don’t use the author’s words, you don’t need to use quotation marks. however, you still need to acknowledge the author for his or her ideas.

when paraphrasing a text, you should communicate the full meaning of the text; don’t change the meaning. it can be a condensed version of the text, or it could end up being longer than the source it’s paraphrasing.

when: you use paraphrasing when you take notes, or explain a chart or diagram to someone. paraphrasing highlight the important parts of a larger text. it also allows you to simplify the ideas for your readers.

example:

original: “it was no ordinary thing that called her away–it was probably further from ordinary than anything that had ever happened in dickson county. but what her eye took in was that her kitchen was in no shape for leaving: her bread all ready for mixing, half the flour sifted and half unsifted” (glaspell).

paraphrase: as mrs. hales walks around mrs. wright’s home, she notices that the kitchen is in disarray as if she was in the middle of baking bread (glaspell).
