"The Book Thief" VS "No Man Is An Island"

Both the poem "No man is an Island" by John Donne and the novel "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak are both talking about how each life of a person will affects the world as a whole. "No man is an island, entire itself" is explaining that one person is not alone and is apart of the whole world even thought some people don't think that they are. The poem is talking about how everyone has an effect on the each person around them,everyone is human and they all get hurt like everyone else does. When John Donne talks about death is presented by " From whom the bell tolls: It tolls for thee " is talking about , don't ask who is died it is for you. So when someone is dying , you may not know them but you also get effected by it, every person in the world or town you live in, always has to deal with death and every one gets hurt from it . In the novel "The book Thief " is also connected to the poem "No man is an Island" by the fact that Liesel is growing up in Nazi Germany during the time that the Germans were discriminating the Jews. The Germans do not realize that when they are discriminating them that they are hurting everyone around them. When they get the children to join a Hitler Youth group, they are hurting them for doing stuff they do no want to do. Markus Zusak tells stories of when his mother was growing up in Germany , all the information that he got told was going on because of the world war 2. The novel and the poems show connection because when the Germans do not realize they are hurting other people when they are discriminating the Jews as the same with poem when " If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less". When one thing gets washed away the place is hurt and it not the same after wards. When Liesel is stealing books with Rudy from the major's house she does not think about anything else then the book she wants, and only thinks about her education. These two pieces of text are both showing what effects one person has on another person. When Rudy steals food for himself and blames it on his family that it is huge and so many siblings and they are poor, we may be hurting for food and thirst but does not realize that when he steals something from a person's store or house that it also hurts them to know someone would do that to them. The speaker of the poem "No man is an Island " and the speaker of the book " The Book Thief " are both talking about that no man by it's self could ever a single place and when you do something it effects other people, or when you think you can go without someone that someone be needing you.
