Answer:        

      Niemöller's words in "First they came for..." illustrate the theme that silence is the greatest sin among all things, and this message is also conveyed in "I Sit and Look Out" by Walt Whitman.

        In the poem "I Sit and Look Out" by Walt Whitman, he talks about the cruelty and oppression among humans. Whitman elaborates on certain images of oppression such as seeing "wives misused by her husband," and "the workings of battle, pestilence, tyranny". Although Whitman scrutinizes the sins of human beings such as jealousy and arrogance, near the end of the poem he reveals that being silent and being an onlooker among the oppression that occurs is the greatest sin of all. In the lines "All the meanness and agony without end, I sitting, look out upon, see, hear, and am silent" Whitman is saying that even though he sees all these things happening in the world, he simply watches instead of doing the right thing.

      In the poem First they came for..." by Martin Niemöller talks about how Adolf Hitler along with the Nazis went after and killed innocent people during the Nazi rule.The theme of this poem is that silence is deadly, and the poem clearly illustrates that. In the lines "Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me" Niemöller is saying that because he did not speak out against the innocent killing of people such as Jews and Socialists, there was no one left to save him or speak out against him being killed. The same message of the theme is illustrated in the poem "I Sit and Look Out" by Walt Whitman because he explains that him being a bystander and silent among all the oppression he's seen and heard has led them to keep happening.

    To conclude both of the poems convey the message to readers that standing by and not doing the right thing, hurts everyone and is the most cruel thing we can do.

Explanation: Please rewrite in own words :)

<span>#1) How do Niemöller's words in "First they came for..." repeat the theme developed in "I Sit and Look Out" by Walt Whitman?

Answer: After carefully reading both of the excerpts that are presented above I believe that the words of Niemoller in “First they came for…” repeat the theme developed in “I Sit and Look Out” by Walt Whitman conveying his own view on how even the person who just remains silent while also seeing the injustice that is happening right in front of him can be the most cruel of all. He makes it clear when at the end of the poem-- “Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Andrea Mathews looked at the tiny hat in his hands and felt jumpy.

He walked over to the window and reflected on his beautiful surroundings. He had always loved grey Amsterdam with its lonely, light lakes. It was a place that encouraged his tendency to feel jumpy.

Then he saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Jona Thunder. Jona was a clever coward with brunette hair.

Andrea gulped. He glanced at his own reflection. He was tall with thick eyebrows and wide thighs. His friends saw him as courageous. Once, he had even brought a knowing puppy back from the brink of death.

But not even a special person who had once brought a knowing puppy back from the brink of death, was prepared for what Jona had in store today.

The snow flurried like singing foxes, making Andrea relaxed.

As Andrea stepped outside and Jona came closer, he could see the vigorous glint in his eye.

Jona glared with all the wrath of 7897 wild bored bears. He said, in hushed tones, "I hate you and I want a fight."

Andrea looked back, even more relaxed and still playing with the tiny hat. "Lets do this," he replied.

They looked at each other with confident feelings, like two hard, hungry guys looking for a fight.

Andrea stepped forward and as he did his hat transformed into a sword.

Jona looked surprised, but he didnt let the surprise weapon stop him from drawing out his own sword.

And then the fight began.

THE END
