Compare And Contrast This Way For The Gas Ladies And Gentlemen

In the two passages, which are the poem by the title “Punishment” and the novel by the title “This Way for the Gas, ladies and Gentleman.” The two passages are written by Seamus Heaney and Tadeusz Borowski respectively. The two writers wrote on passages that reflect on the past brutal events that took places in a particular specific area of their concern. Through this, the writers try to show and relay to its readers on the past brutality, and how various specific people were affected and influenced by the inhuman brutality. The brutality is based to have occurred during the civil/revolutionary struggle. For the first passage of punishment, the setting is on the Irish rebels and the British while the second passage is on the Jews imprisonment
Through the themes, the writers are able to convey his message appropriately since everything in the passage relates to the themes.
