How do you feel that people should treat you and others? If you have your own opinion, then read on to find out some other readers opinions! In the Essay, Give! By Anne Frank, and the Poem, Identity, by Julio Polanco, I notice many similarities and differences in their opinions of how to treat others and how others treat them. Some similarities include both authors writing about how people get treated good and bad, sometimes on the way you look. If you look wealthy and well dressed, or you are like a freshly bloomed flower, you get treated nicely. But, if you are like a weed or a person with not a lot of money, you don't get treated nicely. Some differences include Anne Frank not liking how poor people get left alone and that they should be …show more content…
Most of the time wealthier people are ruder and poorer people are nicer, and Anne Frank states this very clearly. In the essay, “Give!” by Anne Frank, the text states, “You should try comparing one of those beggar children with your own children. What's the difference? Yours are pretty and neat, the others are ugly and ragged! Is that all? Yes that's all, that's the only difference. If you dressed one of those urchins in nice clothes and taught him nie manners, there wouldn't be a whit of difference! (Anne Frank paragraph 4) This piece of evidence by Anne Frank suggests that when a child is dressed in ragged clothing, they have the same personality as your own children, just dressed differently. Also, in the Poem, “Identity” by Julio Noboa Polanco, the text states, “I’d rather be unseen, and if then shunned by everyone, than to be a present-smelling flower, growing in clusters in the fertile valley where they’re praised, handled, and plucked by greedy, human hands.” (Polanco lines …show more content…
In some cases this can be bad, but in Julio Noboa Polanco’s case, it is a good thing. I also noticed some differences between the two stories. These can include Anne Frank wanting to bring attention to the people who need it, and Julio Noboa Polanco not wanting to be recognized and pointed out. For instance, in the Essay, “Give” by Anne Frank, she asks why people don't give in to others who don't have all that they have, to help them out a bit. “Why can't peop;le who have money more than enough for their own needs give the rest to their fellow human beings? Why should anyone have to have such a hard life for those few short years on earth?” (Frank paragraph 6) and “But above all, a gift should never be flung in anyone's face - every person has a right to kindness.” (Frank paragraph 7) These two pieces of evidence from Anne Frank exemplify that wealthier people should try and put themselves in the street beggars shoes and see how much they need help from others who have everything and
It differed in ways such as the treatment they received during the war. Also they coped with the war in different ways, one accepted the camp and the other went into hiding. Onc way they compared was both books they all struggled during the war. Even though they struggled in different ways both families were still affected during the war. This is how the Diary of Anne Frank and Farewell to Manzanar compared and
Another example of how they are similar is the way the authors have one main character who wants to make a difference in the laws. For example in “Harrison Bergeron” Harrison, one of the main characters is against everyone being equal and he tries to change things by breaking out of jail and going on the news live and taking off all of his handicaps and calling himself the “Emperor” and fining a girl who will stand with
“The Singer Solution to World Poverty” by Peter Singer raises a thought provoking question to his audience—to give or not to give? Singer believes that acquiring luxuries is equivalent to letting poverty-stricken children starve to death. Extreme hypothetical scenarios of people who choose money and luxuries over a child’s life are prevalent throughout Singer’s argument and to further prove his point, he creates parallels between those people and people who don’t donate and claims that there is no moral distinction between the two. Singer’s straight-forward, but rather demanding proposition states that the money used to indulge in luxuries should go towards people in need instead. In an ideal world, Singer’s “solution” would be simple and noble.
Juan Luis Vives has been witnessing this first hand and would most likely be stating the facts for his piece so it can become popular amongst the population. Rembrandt van Rijn shows in his work Beggars Receiving Alms at the Door of a House, in the Netherlands 1648 that some people take their families to ask for Alms (Doc 6). Vives includes an image of a family standing before a man who’s giving them some type of charity. We can interpret and state that family beg together to cause pity because of the people who go around begging for help due to the fact that they don’t have enough money to feed their kids. Although Juan Luis Vives and Rembrandt van Rijn have similar ideas they are both from different social classes Vives being a Spanish Humanist and Rijin an artist have different beliefs they describe their experiences in the same way just different formats one in painting and another in words.
“To any kindly given. To a poor one most” was a quote said by a spirit. He said that to let Scrooge know that for his family to enjoy his company and to be a better person, you have to give. Poverty was buried beneath the surface of this story but was shown throughout it if you just take a deeper
It was more difficult to find differences between the two than similarities. There are so many characters that resemble each other, with personality alone, that anyone could tell the movie was “like totally” based on the novel. They show so much comparability that has been changed the slightest, to bring the novel back into a 20th century classic that everyone loves. Some distinct contrasts include the time eras, clothing styles, and age difference. While many more similarities exist including: the main characters losing their mothers, their outrageous wealth, and the dominant roles played within their communities and
Many things about these two texts are very similar and also very different. Some similarities and differences between these texts are, setting, general lifestyle, adultery, major conflict, moral of main woman character, and internal conflicts of religious leaders. One of the more obvious similarities amidst the two texts, The
In one circumstance, we may feel the need to give to those who are poor to keep them from getting in our personal space; and in other circumstances we feel that we give to others out of the kindness of our heart. I completely agree with Ascher and her views on compassion, because I have been in similar situation where I have questioned why people give money, and whether they give with a whole heart or out of necessity. Furthermore, this essay can teach us plenty of lessons that can be utilized throughout our lives so we can teach others and make them aware of the need to be more
She begins by talking about her college experience of how her own professors and fellow students believed and “always portrayed the poor as shiftless, mindless, lazy, dishonest, and unworthy” (Paragraph 5). This experience shocked her because she never grew up materialistic. She brings up the fact that she is the person with the strong and good values that she has today because she grew up in a poor family. In culture, the poor are always being stereotyped.
Some similarities one of them is that Krystina Chiger and Pavle Fredman are both Jewish. Another one is Krystina Chiger and Pavle Fredman were in the ghetto and Holocaust. I know Krystina Chiger and Pavle Fredman were in the Holocaust and ghetto because Krystina had to escape and Pavle was forced to live in the ghetto and he died. Next, they both wanted freedom from the
The Giver Compare/Contrast Essay When some people hear the words ‘perfect society’ what do they think of? Take a look at our society, then take a look at Jonas’s society, between our two societies there are some comparisons and a vast amount of differences. For instance, the rules are different, as well as their family units and their individuality. While our society is more on the modern side, Jonas’s society is plainer. When it comes to the rules in our society, we don’t normally think of rules that are very extreme.
The giver by Lois Lowry- Analytical essay ________________________________________________________ What if we lived in a world of peace and equality? What if we lived in a world with no differences? A world with no social classes and inequality. That sounds pretty amazing doesn’t it?
Everything in life has similarities and differences as long as you're looking for them, but some have more than others. Comparing similarities and difference between two things in life is making a compare and contrast (book) . When comparing and contrasting two pieces of literature you have to observe not only the themes of them but also the plot. Fences by August Wilson and My Papa's Waltz by Theodore Roethke have many similarities and differences throughout the literature due to themes and the plot.
Although, they have similarity, the two stories has major differences also. First, both author differs the way they introduce and develop their lead characters to the reader. Second, they also differ in perspective from which their stories are being told. Third, they differs on the choice of settings and how it impact to the stories.
Anne and Bruno alike express that there is goodness in the hearts of everyone. This is shown specifically in The Boy In The Striped Pajamas when Bruno goes under the fence to help Shmuel, his friend in a concentration camp, find his father. The idea of a german boy helping a jew is an example of how even when told otherwise by society, people will still help those in need. Anne Frank also expresses this idea when she writes in her diary, “In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart,” This shows that Anne believed in the goodness of mankind, even when it did nothing but bad to her. Both children even when they’d only been exposed to hate, still saw with pure eyes that everyone was equal and had love inside
