The Holocaust: A Brief Analysis Of Bruno

In the beginning, Bruno was a young boy who came from a Nazi household. Even though he didn’t quite understand everything at the time, he had dreamed of becoming a soldier just like his father. Shmuel was a young boy as well, who happened to be Jewish. Although the two came from rather different backgrounds, they both had a few things in common: They were born on the same day, they were very lonely, and they were forced to leave behind everything they had ever known. As they had gotten to know each other, they learned that they weren’t so different after all. Bruno had started to realize that he had more in common with Shmuel than he ever did with his old friends back in Berlin. Eventually, the fence between them had started to disappear as the two came together, despite any differences they ever

The second struggle in Bruno 's and Shmuel’s friendship is their need to overcome their differences in the family background. One day, Bruno decided to talk about how they came to be in Auschwitz. When Shmuel starts talking about how he got here.He said that, “The train was horrible," said Shmuel. There were too many of us in the carriages for one thing. And there was no air to breathe.” “That 's because you all crowded onto one train,”said Bruno.... “When we came here, there was another one on the other side of the platform, but no one seemed to see it. That was the one we got.” (129-130). When Bruno talks about

One day Bruno decides he wants to go explore, as that was what always made him happy in Berlin. He begins his journey along the fence which he was told on countless occasions to stay away from by both his Mother and Father. While walking along the fence, Bruno meets a young boy named Shmuel who is on the other side of the fence. The two of them immediately become best friends, sharing the same birthday and talking about what has brought them both to Poland. “Perhaps I could come meet your friends”, Bruno says to Shmuel hoping they could all play on the other side of the fence together. The new found friendship has helped transition Bruno into being happy about living in “Out-With”. Consequently, if Bruno hadn’t decided to go out exploring that day he would’ve never met his new friend and he would be sitting alone in his room very unhappy and

It’s about the jews and how and what happened to them after the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the time where about six million jews and one million other people dying. Most people were killed because they belonged to different races and religions. The Nazis wanted to kill people that weren’t from their same religious group. The Nazis also killed people who disrespected Hitler. Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party.

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 the son of a Nazi commandant, but he had no idea of the horrors of the Holocaust. He was told not to go near the death camp his father was in charge of, but he did anyway. Bruno meet a Jewish boy named Shmuel at the camp and continued to visit him. They enjoyed each other’s company even though there was a fence in between them. One day Shmuel told Bruno that his dad went missing. Neither of the boys knew that he was actually murdered. They came up with a plan to sneak Bruno into the camp to help Shmuel find his dad. After Bruno gets into the camp they begin to search when alarms go off. The boys and other Jewish men get pushed into a room and ordered to take their clothes off. No one knows what’s going on. They are ordered into another room where they are gassed and die. Because of hate and intolerance against Jews, Shmuel was blocked off from the rest of the world and his friend. Bruno fought against that hate and intolerance by sneaking into a place where no one should be, to help a

The next day where its raining and extremely muddy Bruno went to meetup with Shmuel at the fence to go on the search for Shmuel’s father . Finally Bruno was on the opposite side of the fence , as he was sneaking around trying to blend in with other people he never saw nothing like that seeing everyone looking miserable and skinny.

The boy named Bruno was filled with curiosity. He soon left Berlin with his family. The dark grey "home" did not contain any light.

It is interesting to see how Bruno understands all of this, because he had very little knowledge of the Nazi regime and their intentions. John Boyne made the Nazi regime seem less dominant in the book by characterizing Bruno this way. For example: Bruno repeatedly mispronounces Aushwitz (As Out-With) and Fuhrer (As Fury) I think the author's purpose was to ridicule the place and the person. Bruno mispronouncing these words not only makes fun of these words, it also implies that he didn’t care about the Nazi Regime, because he didn’t ever try to spell the words correctly.

As Bruno enters the concentration camp with Shmuel, he realises that Shmuel’s living conditions, which have previously been a mystery to both Bruno and the reader, have “no grown-ups sitting on rocking chairs … no children playing games in groups … no café like there had been back in Berlin” (page 207) and, similarly to the audience, is horrified. In this scene, the author utilises situational irony in order to create a deplorable atmosphere, accompanied with an ominous and eerie mood, which advances the directly positions the reader to contemplate the atrocities of the concentration camp. The impacts of hatred are made clear to the audience in the form of a surprising plot twist that Bruno is on the receiving end

At the beginning of the book Bruno is hates his new home and wishes he could be back in Germany with his friends. He is very selfish and disobeys his father's orders often. By the end of the novel Bruno is bringing Shmuel food and notices that he is not in good health. He is also starting to see his mothers misery. I believe that the more Bruno met with Samuel he became more aware of what was going to happen to him. I also think that as Bruno got older he became more knowledgeable and had a better understanding of what was going on at that time in Germany and other European countries.

Throughout the book, it went more into detail to show how innocent and clueless people were. The father of Bruno explained to him, that the people on the other side of the fence were not considered people. The mispronunciation of certain words such as Auschwitz was, “Out-With,” and The Füher (Hitler) was, “The Fury,” demonstrated how innocent the people not directly involved with the destruction of the Jewish population had been. Although there was an unbelievable amount of hatred from the Germans towards the Jews, the two young boys broke the barrier and resisted what they were told to think and

An abstract is a brief summary—usually about 100 to 120 words—written by the essay writer that describes the main idea, and sometimes the purpose, of the paper. When you begin your research, many scholarly articles may include an abstract. These brief summaries can help readers decide if the article is worth reading or if addresses the research question, not just the topic, one is investigating.

Thirdly, the plot holes in this book were of alarming constancy, to the point where I have no clue how to start discussing it. I don’t understand how a Shmuel could meet up with his friend by the fence without ever being found, or that there was a hole in the fence, big enough for a boy to slip through without any other Jewish prisoners trying to escape through it. It also appalls me that Hitler and Eva Braun apparently visited people's homes without bodyguards while today, people like Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus can’t leave home without their posy. Also, how could it be that Germans apparently didn't check their officers' family backgrounds before putting them in charge of their largest concentration camps? Yeah, right. Like that would have

Shmuel, went from being lonely and sad, to be more cheerful after meeting Bruno. Bruno gave him support, food and friendship things that he didn’t have inside the camp. One day, they planned to go and find Shmuel’s dad inside the camp and marched together with other people not knowing that they were marching to their death.
