The Devil's Arithmetic And The Little Polish Boy Standing With His Arms Up

Two compelling novels going back to the dreadful past during World War II Holocaust, including the death camps with millions prisoners, The Devil's Arithmetic, by compassionate Jane Yolen, and aggressive Peter Fischl’s poem,”The Little Polish Boy Standing With His Arms Up, are analyzed progressively. Both writings have a similar purpose and meaning. Both of the outstanding writings inform about history repeating. But, both of the writings also talk about how the innocence of the Jews are coping with their past. Yolen’s novel speaks about the Jewish traditions, and the death camps in the history of the Jews. Peter Fischl poem talks about an innocent boy standing unjustly with his arms up. Both of these ambitious authors like to persuade

Both authors have the attendance to use different tones, and different tools. Jane Yolen likes to Have compassion, sympathy in her tone. On the other hand Fischl’s poem includes an argumentative, controversial type of tone, as you can hear in the poem The Little Boy Standing With His Arms Up.” On Stanza 18 the poem states,” I am sorry it was you and not me.”. Yolen also has the tone of being, honorable,virtuous. Jane yolen states on page (167) she talks about how it was rough in the camps, and people were honored to be alive in the camps. At the same time fischl’s tone is the opposite, and is to be rough, and ranting about the little Polish boy all throughout his poem. Yolen's most important tone in my opinion, is how she is compassionate for the book to sum the achieving novel up with detail all throughout the book when you read it. Fischl’s tone he likes to be aggressive, contentious when on stanza (10) and stanza (15) It states,”The world who said nothing.” Jane Yolen's last tool that she uses, is that she uses Empowerment, and has approval in the death camps. On page (168) going back to when she uses acceptance of the good and the bad, it shows how they have to show empowerment to the guards in the camps. Fischl’s tone he uses is humiliation, and guilt. As you can see the authors use totally different tones to sum up their
