Compare And Contrast First They Killed My Father By Kamala Markandaya

Hunger is a feeling all humans have, and it is one of the feelings and emotions that makes us human. In the book Dawn by Elie Wiesel, the main character Elisha is part of a Zionist terrorist organization. He is given the task from the leader of their organization to execute a captured British soldier, John Dawson. Elisha doesn't want to give him food before the group executes him, because subconsciously it will humanize the captured soldier. When a fellow soldier said they should give him food before they kill him, but Elisha responded, "He listens to his stomach and it tells him he is going to die and he isn't hungry." (Dawn, Wiesel.) This shows the colder side of Elisha and how he doesn't want to humanize Dawson so he is easier to kill. Elisha has experienced hunger himself when he was in the nazi concentration camps.

She uses detail of the cooking to develop how hungry they are and to show the lack of food they have. I know when I'm hungry I often think about my mother's mash potatoes and ham, and how she puts everything together and cooks.

The poem "Not Bad, Dad, Not Bad" and the book Farewell to Manzanar have a lot in common about fathers and their kids. One thing that I realized in comparison between these two texts was that kids feel that their fathers don't love them, but the only reason why they are hard on you is cause they do love you. One example of this is in Not Bad, Dad, (7-8) when the speaker says, "you wouldn't win any medals, Dad, but you wouldn't drown. " This quote shows that even if your father isn't the best he still truly cares for you even if it doesn't seem like it.
