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

Bruno’s growth is shown the moment “he [looks] down and [does] something quite out of character for him: he [takes] hold of Shmuel's tiny hand and [squeezes] it tightly. ‘You're my best friend, Shmuel... My best friend for life’” (Boyne 212, 213). Through his experience in the gas chamber, Bruno realizes that he is in control of his decisions good or bad.

Text Sup: When Shmuel was explaining his story Bruno didn't notice that he had become increasingly sad while talking about it. Instead of trying to cheer Shmuel up, Bruno would get caught up in the little details of Shmuel's strokes saying that they were impossible when they were in fact possible.

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

Friendship, a form of love or companionship between two mutual parties, is exactly what the character Bruno and Shmuel have. Bruno and Shumel forge a meaningful relationship full of trust despite them two living in two completely different worlds. With this in mind, When Bruno and Shumel are herded into the gas chamber together through use of diegetic sound of the dog barking created a sense of suspense and tension however this midst of terror is where their friendship achieves their greatest significance. In the end both boys actually die in one another's arms, with only the comfort of the other to offset the terror of death in the gas chamber. Their trust carries both boys beyond the fear of a lonely death in the Holocaust.

Both Shmuel and Bruno were forced to leave their homes during the Holocaust.Bruno’s family were forced to leave because Bruno’s father new promotion, If Bruno’s father hadn’t left, Adolf Hitler, The leader of the Nazi party would put Bruno’s father to death as well as his family. Likewise, Shmuel was taken away from his home against his

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas shows how the friendship between two boys helped them deal with the issue they were going through. In the article, Bruno compares Shmuel’s hand to his and notices that Shmeul was starving to death. And as it states in the article, “ Bruno… was about to offer some more food ..” This shows us that Bruno felt sympathy for Shmeul and wanted to help him in any way possible, in this case giving him some food. Even though Shmeul was struggling to survive in the concentration camp he could count on his friend Bruno to try and help him. Bruno’s friendship was really important to Shmeul since it brought happiness to him in a time when his life was very sad.

Once Bruno is on the same side of the fence as Shmuel they both have an urge to hug each other. This is a natural response as it almost feels as if the boys are being reunited, even though only a fence separated them before. These boys have been friends for a while and confided their secrets to each other, they were all they had to look forward to and I believe this is why they get emotional. They do not go through with the hug and that may be because they feel it is childish. Bruno and Shmuel never had a normal friendship as most friends play and hang out together. Their relationship was almost like having a pen pal. Since they both met in a dark and lonely part of their life, one can assume that their friendship held an utmost value.

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

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.

It is indisputable that the power of friendship can cross boundaries such as race, religion, and culture. In the novel ‘The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, written by John Boyne, this is clearly shown in various aspects throughout the story. Bruno set aside all differences when he had befriended Shmuel, evidently surpassing all boundaries. The physical boundaries that separated Bruno and Shmuel were a mere setback as their friendship, bond and care for each other was strong enough to overcome this. This is clearly supported by the fact that Bruno said “I wouldn’t let you down.”

The main characters in this story have different personalities and they represent the good and the bad in human beings. Bruno, the nine years old German boy, was an adventurous, curious and innocent boy like many other kids his age. Because of his age sometimes he was a little naive but overall I think he was a very smart boy. He showed us the importance of friendship and compassion after he met Shmuel at the concentration camp.
