In “I sit and look out “Whitman uses morose vocabulary to describe a characters perspective on the issues of humanity. Right off the bat Whitman jumps into a scene of a character sitting watching life “ I sit and look out upon all the sorrows of the world....” in line one. Creating an overall negative silence tone that the reader can relate to no matter how long ago it was written it still explains this continuous downfall of humanity; a tone that pinpoints societies reality and how it perpetuates. Which happens as well in “First they came for… “ speaking to how silence continues these problems. It is most shown in the last two lines of “First they came for...” when Niemöller writes “Then they came for me— and there was no one left to speak for me.” Further showing how silence is detrimental to society. This is a common negative tone in both poems; that brings the downsides of humanity to light.
