Writing Letters

Choose two of the following and put them in ONE blog post indicating which ones you have chosen:

  • Bruno to his Grandmother right before going on his final adventure (imagine she was still alive)
  • Pavel to his family regarding living in the camp and working for Bruno's family.
  • Shmuel to his family back in Poland (if they were still alive) about his life in the camp and his best friend Bruno.
  • Pretend that the father resigned when Bruno couldn't be found. What would the letter to the 'Fury' be like?
  • Write a letter from the mother to the father upon leaving to move back to Berlin without him.
  • Write a letter from Gretel to Bruno after he went missing.

Dear grandmother,
I miss you and grandpa a lot
I don't know too much about the war right now but it can't be good if it means i can't see you two
I guess I'm just glad that daddy is making a difference in this war so i can see you again soon. 

War must be bad if it means I can't see you. 
I hope you and grandpa are all right because I know mummy and daddy aren't;
They had a big fight last night so they decided it would be if we spent the rest of the war away from out-with,
which I thought I'd be happy about, only when we first came to out-with I sneaked out the back of the house where it's out-of-bounds-at-all-times-and-no-exceptions and walked down the road there to a camp and made a friend on the other side of the fence called Shmuel

I know it's a funny name and I know shouldn't even have met him, 
but you would love him grandma. 
He's such a nice boy and he's a good friend.
And we were born on the same day!
Anyway I'm going to see him now; one last time before we leave out-with

I hope to see you again soon and that you and Grandpa are okay.
Promise me you'll visit us when we finally move out of out-with
Your loving Grandson
Bruno


To our inspiration leader Adolf Hitler,
As I'm sure you've heard the devastating fate of my son Bruno,
it is with a heavy heart that I must resign from my job to be with my family at this trying moment.
As a family, we need to heal from the trauma of losing our boy.

As there are many competent soldiers that would very willingly take my position and who are loyal to you, 
I feel our country won't be at a loss. 
I've served for many years and have done my bit for this country and I firmly believe it's my time to resign

I have served more years than my share and lost sight of the reason I joined the Nazis to begin with;
To help and serve my family.
I felt that through serving my country I could help protect my family and we'd be stronger and closer because of my achievements through the Nazis

I lost sight of that through my ambition and let my guard down.
Now my son is dead and my family is suffering; 
Through my actions I have hurt the wrong side in this war

To conclude I am finished with the Nazis and am moving on with my loving family who needs me right now
May your reign be long and successful
Kind Regards
Ralf
