A good statement on this topic would be "Bruno strives to fulfill his role in the family, but maintains his friendship with Shmuel.
Explanation:
"The boy in the stripped pajamas" was written by John Boyne and portrays the story of Bruno, a German boy who is the son of a high-ranking German general, during World War II. Due to his father's profession, Bruno is forced to move to another city and leave all his friends and memories behind. He hates this change, but understands that it is important for his father's success and for that reason, he strives to adapt to the change and help the family in this time of adjustment.
In this new place, Bruno is faced with the fences of a concentration camp. He doesn't know anything about Nazism, nor about the extermination of Jews, but when he looks at the fence, he notices the presence of a child, very thin and wearing a striped pajamas. This child is Shmuel, a Jewish boy trapped in a concentration camp. Bruno and Shmuel start to be friends, although they can't meet beyond the fence.
One day Bruno's father tells him that he can't keep in touch with the people behind the fence and that they aren't real people. Bruno's father reinforces that it is important for him to stay away from the fences, so as not to cause problems for the family. Bruno is worried that he might cause problems for the family and complies with all the rules imposed on him, except for breaking up his friendship with Shmuel. This attitude of Bruno is the main point of the theme Family and Friendship.
The day was very bright when we decided to play a football match with a nearby football team in our neighborhood. We called the best players among ourselves leaving Kelvin behind. In fact, this guy isn’t good using his foot for things like this, I mean he’s very weak when it comes to playing football but he came along to support us.
We played about ten(10) minutes and they scored us so we decided to break for half time not knowing our best striker whom we believed won’t play again. There was no substitute to fix him and confidently, Kelvin said he can play. We all burst into laughter, we even thought that it was a dream but we had no choice but to replace him since there was no one.
Within three minutes of play, we had scored two goals of which kelvin scored it all. He could dribble from the center to the opponents half and place the ball at a very unexpected position to score a goal. On the thirty-fifth minutes, our opponents gave up for they were tired and the game results in 6:3 in favor us.
We felt ashamed underrating the guy and all he could tell us was that “we should sometimes hide the good things in us in order to know true friends who believe in our effortless caliber”. We were all mute as I told them that “THIS IS A DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET”
