Finally, the author Artie would assert that contemporary situation of the World War II and the annihilation policy of the Nazi party toward the Jews from Vladek’s real experiences.

It is human nature to go through difficulties, they shape who we are as people for good or for bad. It is not the challenges that shape who we are as people, but how we react and the lesson we take away from our misfortunes. In the story of Maus 1 and 2, we can analyze Vladek Spiegelman and see how his struggles have given us immense knowledge about humanity, and some of the flaws. In the stories of Maus 1 and 2, Art Spiegelman uses Vladek’s dialogue to show that humanity will judge and deprecate no matter what.

Wislawa Szymborska's "The Kindness of the Blind" describes the challenge of reading a poem to a blind person. The poet is not the speaker, but the speaker knows what the poet is thinking as he reads the poem, allowing the reader to understand the poet's emotions. Initially, the poet is surprised by his own anxiety over reading the poem; he "did not suspect it was so hard" to read to a blind person (2). He is conscious of his own apprehension, and the speaker notes that "his voice is breaking/his hands are shaking"(3-4). The reader is left wondering why the poet is so nervous, and the speaker explains the source of the apprehension in line 5. Because his audience is a blind man, the poet feels that "here each sentence is put to the test of the dark" (5-6). He cannot rely on outside scenes or the listener's own mental images to enhance his writing; it is laid bare in front of him, causing him to critique his own

Wislawa Szymborska is a Nobel laureate in literature who was born in Poland in 1923. This means that for the majority of Szymborska’s twenties World War II was not only happening, but she was in the center of the war while living in Poland. Many of Germany’s concentration camps were located in Poland. Spending much of her young life in a war torn country definitely affected Wislawa Szymborska, which can be seen in many of her poems. One poem of Wislawa Szymborska’s that shows this influence from her life is Hitler’s First Photograph. Unlike some of her other poems relating to the war, this poem focuses on what the leader of Nazi Germany, Adolph Hitler, who is known for trying to exterminate the Jewish people, was like when he was a baby. Szymborska uses unanswered questions, diction, and very descriptive imagery in Hitler’s First Photograph to show that everyone, even Adolph Hitler, is innocent when they are born.
