COMPARE/CONTRAST
On a sheet of paper, write two paragraphs - one detailing the similarities between the movie and the book and another detailing the differences. For a third paragraph write which you believe to be more historically accurate and why. Did either the movie or the book have anything in them that was not historically accurate? Finally, add a few sentences about which you liked better (the book or the movie) and why. Make sure to include specific examples to support your argument.
Each paragraph should be at least 5 sentences long.
Use correct grammar.
Because one of the main backdrops in this story is the Holocaust, this activity relates to SC Standard 7-4.6 (Analyze the Holocaust and its impact on European society and Jewish culture, including Nazi policies to eliminate the Jews and other minorities, the Nuremberg trials, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the rise of nationalism in Southwest Asia (Middle East), the creation of the state of Israel, and the resultant conflicts in the region.). When determining if the book and movie are historically accurate, students will have to research aspects of the Holocaust, such as death marches and Jewish prisoners walking through towns to get to concentration camps.
