Reading this book and discussingout of this perspective the aspect of safe places
At Sammilsdalskolan, Leksand, they read the novel “The Boy In the Striped Pyjamas” by John Boyne in year 9. The book takes place in Auschwitz, called Out-With in the book, and it is written from the perspective of Bruno, an 8-year-old boy.
The students read/listened to the book, they had discussions in smaller groups and together in class. The students wrote reading logs. One of the questions was where the main characters could find a Safe Place:
An example written by a student:
"Safe Place
Bruno: I think Bruno’s safe place is exploring and when he is with his new friend Shmuel. I also think he feels safe when he is talking to Maria because he can say what he thinks to her. I think his mother is his safe place too.
Shmuel: I think his safe place is his spot where he sits everyday to get away from the other boys when they are fighting and on his spot he gets space.
Gretel: I think that Gretel's safe place is her room and her dolls.
Parents: I think that Bruno’s father’s safe place is in his office and in his family. I think that Bruno’s mother´s safe place are their children, Gretel and Bruno."
