Question

The poet contrasts the suffering of the tourists in the poem with the suffering of Anne
Frank and Van Gogh. Is it fair to compare one person's suffering to another? Why or why
not?


Please help me!!! The poem is Called ”it is raining on the house of Anne Frank”

Answer 1

No, it is not fair as each lived their lives under different circumstances.

Explanation:

• The tourists visit two magnificent buildings in the ity of Amsterdam. One is Anne Frank's house and the other is the Van Gogh Museum. Anne Frank was a young girl who lived with her family in a hidden compartment to hide from the Nazis.
• Van Gogh was very poor and lived a life of mystery. However, he was cheerful and did a lot of paintings. Most of his painting shows the struggles he underwent.
• The tourists first visited Anne Frank's house when it was raining. It was silent, they saw empty loft, quaint toilet, a skeleton in the kitchen, a map and a barb of wire.
• The tourists were eager to visit the museum to see some light and get inspired by Van Gogh.
