Friends Until the End

One day Father summened Bruno and Gretel into a office to tell them the changes(John Boyne The Boy in the Sriped Pajamas 188).The striped pajamas yes, said Father nooding his head as if he had made a final decision. Well Iv'e seen them said Bruno. He nodded his head as if he hadmade a final decision(191). Brunofound that he was not looking forward to this as much as he would have expected and he dreaded haveing to tell Shmuel the news(192). The day after Father told Bruno that he had to return to Berlin soo(193). Bruno broke into a smile when he saw the figure comeing towards him and sat down on the ground, takeing the piece of bread(193). Well? asked Bruno. What was it? Papa said Shmuel we cant find him(194). I'm going to Berlin said Bruno. But for how long? asked Shmuel. I think it's forever said Bruno. So I wont see you again asked Shmuel(196). So tomarrow will be th last time we see eachother and we'll have to say our good byes then(198). But, Shmuel needed his father. Well if thats the case said Bruno and if I had a pair of stripped pajamas too, I couldn't come over on a visit. Shmuel's face brightened up and he broke into a wide smile would you do it?(199). Of course, said Bruno. It will be a great adventure(198). And you could help me loo for Papa said Shmuel. the next day Bruno snuck away to see Shmuel one last time(200). You sill want to help me find Papa? asked Shmuel. Of course he said. I wouldn't let you down(202). Bruno took off all his clothes and put the striped pajamas on(203). Bruno had no choice but to roll under the fence in the mudd. All Bruno wanted to do is help Shmuel and find his father and Shmuel had an urge too give Bruno a hug to thank him for everything(206).Once Bruno was in the went looking for Shmuel's Papa. Bruno saw crowds of people sitting togeather in groups looking horribly sad(207). While surching for Papa the soldiers began to lead a large group of Jews into a shower room(210). Bruno and Shmuel were in that group and they went into a room that was surprisingly warm and must have been very securely built because no rain was getting anywhere. In fact it felt completely airtight(212). Shmuel gathered him self very close to Bruno and looked up in fright(211). Bruno took hold of Shmuel's tiny hand in his and squeezed it tightly. You're my best friend Shmuel he said(212).Shmuel may well have opened his mouth to say something but Bruno never heard it because at that moment there was a load gasp from all the marchers who had filled the room, as the door at the front closed and a load metallic sound rang throught from the outside. And then the room went very dark and some how, despit the Chaos that folloeed, bruno found that he was still holding Shmuel's hand in his own and nothing in the world would have persuaded him to let go(213).

Mandi! You've chosen some great quotes/phrases to include in your found poem...very significant! however, don't forget that part of this assignment requires that you cut and paste and arrange these into some sort of poetic formation.... let me know if you need help with this!
