It was a terrifying transition going from the average life of a thirteen year old boy to that of a contained Jew. In school Miska Freudenberg had always been the popular student. His plethora of friends meant the world to him. So, when all of that was taken away Miska was devastated. In the camp there was no one to call his friend. That was until Shmuel came along. Shmuel was only eight years old, but the camp matured him greatly. Miska instantly grew attached to him; it was almost as if he had a little brother again. Miska stopped caring about himself and started obsessing over his only friend’s well-being. They had a spot they called their own by the gate of the camp. It had a beautiful view of the thick forest nearby. Everyday was the same …show more content…
He had an idea of what had actually cause the disappearance of Shmuel’s father, but he didn’t have the heart to tell unfortunate boy. “I certainly hope so, I do not know what I would do if something horrible happened to him.” Shmuel replied, his metaphorically heavy shoulders sagging. “Cheer up Shmuel. I honestly thought it impossible, but you’re dampening the mood of the entire camp!” Miska joked at their constant situation. Shmuel looked up at him. “I suppose you’re right, Miska.” Shmuel gave a pitiful smile. “Let’s see if Bruno has arrived.” Miska suggested. Shmuel nodded his head ‘yes’ and so they snuck off. When they arrived they noticed Bruno was there, a woven picnic basket in hand. “I brought chocolate.” Bruno stated plainly. Miska and Shmuel nodded. An uncomfortable silence fell over the three boys. “Did something happen?” Bruno asked inquisitively. Miska glanced at Shmuel. “My father has gone missing.” Shmuel explained. Bruno gave a sympathetic look. “I’m sorry. I wish I could help you.” Bruno sighed. Shmuel perked up. “Perhaps you can,” Shmuel started to formulate his plan and explain it to Bruno and Miska. “That’s

Friendship is a basic human need, especially for nine year old boys living their childhood. For Bruno who is lonely, bored out of his mind and could not find friends his age to play with and Shmuel a Jewish boy entrapped in a brutal concentration camp, their friendship is one of the only things that can spark a little happiness and lighten up their spirit. The boys meet in the least possible place – the periphery of Auschwitz concentration camp, where one is imprisoned and the other is the son of the Nazi commandant in charge. Although they are meant to see each other as enemies as a Jew and Nazi, there is no hatred between Bruno and Shmuel. They simply see each other as another kid to talk to out of the loneliness of Auschwitz. As the book

Bruno was very oblivious to the things that were taking place around him. Although he was oblivious to the big picture he still had a feeling that he should not communicate with Shmuel, which is why he denied knowing him. Yet he was brave enough to sneak out of the house to visit Shmuel at what he believed was a “Farm.” In reality, this
The United States and Mexico share a boundary line that has many complex issues that are in constant flux. Both countries are dependent on each other for safety and economics. In addition, both countries have had conflicts in the past that include the Mexican American War and revolutions that have bled into each other’s territory. This essay’s goal is to demonstrate the boundary issues between the United States and Mexico. These issues include an ambiguous border line, water rights, and environmental issues. These matters are a pressing concern because they create hostilities between the governments and citizens of each country.
The soldier treated the Jews, including Shmuel who was only 9 years old, very harsh. This builds a frightening mood for the reader. When Bruno and Shmuel are in the concentration camp they are starting to realize that their plan was a terrible idea. They are becoming nervous and don’t know what to do. They are sensing danger. “Don’t worry Shmuel. No matter what happens you will always be my best friend. Then he had the urge to squeeze his tiny hand. They hugged each other and started to cry” (page 212). This is important because it builds a mood that makes the reader want to cry. When they are holding hands in the gas chamber, Bruno and Shmuel were talking in a tone that made the reader understand exactly how they were feeling. They were in a terrifying moment which made the reader nervous for them. The writer made it very suspenseful. In The Boy And The Striped Pajamas, John Boyne was able to use narrative techniques to make the story more interesting add to the add emotion behind it. One way he did that was by using the tone of the build to build a mood for the
"It was crying and praying. So long we survived. And now we waited only that they shoot, because we had not else to do" (267). This quote from the end of the novel ironically describes what the Jewish people endured after the concentration camps. Vladek Spieglman among other suffered through traumatic experiences; though Vladek certainly did survive the holocaust, old Vladek did not. Post-Holocaust it is revealed by Spieglman that his father, Vladek, develops two personalities—before and after the concentration camps. Vladek’s post-holocaust life was haunted by the horrors he witnessed while being in the concentration camps; he went from a young, handsome resourceful man to a miserable, old man who does nothing but complain.

He wasn't in the habit of picking up anyone, period. But tonight had found him a little emptier than usual, and for once, he hadn't been able to fill up that emptiness with more work, more plans, more books -- all his usual distractions had irritated rather than soothed him. Under the circumstances, Kurapika should have gone to bed -- when all else failed, there was always sleep -- but the thought of lying in the dark with cold sheets pressed up against his skin, nothing but his thoughts and ghosts of his kin to keep him company, his life so far from where he'd started...it had been too much. Suddenly Kurapika had to get out, before the weight of it all crushed him.

After that day, Bruno goes to the forest every day to find Shmuel. One day, Bruno saw Shmuel in his house polishing the glasses for his father’s birthday. He holds Shmuel’s hand and said "Our hands, they 're so different. Look!"(167). When Bruno holds Shmuel’s hands, immediately he noticed the differences between them. One is healthy, fat hands but certainly not fat for a nine year old and the other hands just talk about other stories,that is about how hard of a Jewish people at Auschwitz.At Auschwitz,Jews live in a really rough living condition,they need to live in a confined space.Despite their visible differences, Bruno still accepts Shmuel as a friend.

Drunk driving can be risky. Yet different individuals drive while under the influence differently. Drivers who are wasted are lessons for the loss of upwards of a quarter century lives in roadway crashes reliably and a considerable number of actual wounds.
Bruno once saw people getting forced into a truck and naively wondered where they were going and why they were getting forced. Bruno’s family moved from Berlin to Out-With because of Bruno’s father’s work. Bruno looked out of the window at his new house and saw his dad walk to the other side of the fence. Bruno thought it was a farm and wondered why some people wore striped pajamas and some a uniform. Out of curiosity, he started to explore and met a boy on the other side of the fence and began to meet with him almost everyday. He learnt that the people wearing pajamas were scared of the people wearing a uniform because they were always yelling. Bruno noticed his dad wore a uniform but thought he could never be a bad soldier, but Shmuel thought otherwise, “‘There aren’t any good soldiers,’ said Shmuel’” (P.140). Bruno has a biased opinion about his father because he trusted him. Bruno does not understand certain things about the Holocaust and he did not know that during the Holocaust there were no nice Nazi soldiers. Bruno and Shmuel had similarities, and when Bruno shaved his head, they looked almost identical except that Shmuel was bruised, very skinny and always sad, “Bruno was sure that he had never seen a skinnier or sadder boy in his life.” (P.107) Bruno could not understand why, as he did not understand what kind of life Shmuel lived on the other side of the fence. Bruno was ignorant about the Holocaust and when
