* JumpedAtTheCall: All of Shmuel´s friends signed up for the Austrian army the same day war was declared. It is sure to say he never saw any of them again.


Added DiffLines:

* RefusalOfTheCall: Shmuel actually migrated from Austria to the U.S. to avoid getting involved in the first world war. When the United States ''got'' involved, he married Fannie as fast as possible to avoid drafting. And then, in 1917, Will Eisner was born, securing that his father never got drafted at all.
** When ''his'' turn came, Will Eisner took the call and signed up for the next world war.

!!! This story contains the following tropes:

* AllJewsAreAshkenazi: Naturally. Shmuel Eisner, or ''Sam'', as he renamed himself in America, came from an Austrian Shtetl, while Fannie, Will´s mother, was of Rumanian origin. Eisner´s entire family background is Ashkenazi.
* AllJewsAreCheapskates: Rose most prominently. She saves money by using Fannie as a housemaid, forcing her out of school for saving money, and even sends her out to work for paying her ways around although she already does a lot of chores at home.
* AnacronicOrder: Will reminiscing episodes from his early life while watching landscapes and towns pass by when on the train to boot camp.
* FlapperGirl: Goldie, sister of Fannie ends up like this, after a childhood of neglect.
* FramingDevice: The trip to a military training camp makes out the frame for the story.
* HenPeckedHusband: Will´s uncle Louis, married to Fannie.
* JewishComplaining: Rose, Fannie´s older sister, lives on this trope whenever she is present. She complains about everything, up to and including her husband.
* ParentalAbandonment: The hardest way possible. Isaac Wolf, Fannie´s father, died somewhere "on the road", while her mother succumbed to illness when she was ten years old. Her older sister Rose took her in. The two younger siblings, Goldie and Bobby, were abandoned for real.
* StreetUrchin: Bobby, the youngest brother of Fannie.
