Shmuel said something that almost got Bruno in trouble “‘He’s my friend’” (Boyne 171). After that Bruno told a lie about how he’s not Shmuel’s friend “‘i've never seen him before in my life’” (Boyne 172). For this, Shmuel did get punished for eating food, and Bruno then felt guilty.

Have you ever looked back and felt sad because of what happened in the Holocaust? The Nazis didn’t treat the Jews like thy would want to be treated. The boy in the Striped Pajamas is a sad story about a German family and a young boy that is a Jew during the Holocaust. A by named Bruno and his family (his dad is a soldier) had to move to auschwitz where Bruno would find a boy named shmuel (a jewish boy) and they met almost every day to talk.

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 .

The boy in the striped pajamas is expressed through the eyes of a boy who has no clue that it is World War 2. John Boyne tells this story in many different points of view. The story is about a young boy named Bruno who moves with his family to a concentration camp, because his father has just gotten the job as head of the camp. No one will tell him why he’s actually there, and the camp is very barren and arid. I agree with John Boyne expressing the terrible events of the holocaust through the eyes if a child.

Faith, simple small five-letter word but has a colossal critical meaning. Faith means to have complete trust or confidence in someone or something, simply believing. The author believes that having faith is very important and which is an essential necessity of life. In both texts, "Night" and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" faith is tested during their experiences and torture that they endured during a traumatic era. The two texts make one wonder how anyone could continue to have faith within themselves and others during complicated, critically life-threatening times. These two selections show us that no matter the circumstance or how tough and traumatizing a situation can become that one is to always believe and maintain faith within God, yourself and others. Both texts shows that faith and believing can change things and get you farther through a critical situation. In both Elie Wiesel's "Night" and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas," the theme of faith is developed through friendship, fear and innocence.
