HITLER'S RISE TO POWER

1. The Hitler Salute
Its along the lines of the Roman Salute that the Nazis followed in a way to show loyalty to Hitler. It came in because Hitler and the SS leader believed it came from the old gatherings of Germanic people. Hitler regarded the salute as the war-like spirit of the Germans. Heil Hitler!(hail to Hitler) was also said when addressing a citizen or a high ranking SS officer. Hitler usually used the salute himself when giving a speech or addressing a crowd.

2. Germany's Great Depression
Germany's dependency on foreign trade and its debts to America ended up in Germany's inevitable fall in economy. Banks quickly started failing throughout the country. Germany's lost-of-value money ended up dropping the middles class's ability to buy necessary supplies to survive. All of the economy hit rock-bottom Tuesday October 29, 1929. Adolf Hitler saw his Chance to rise to power in the eye of the poor weak state of Germany.

This lawyer,Adam Posner, is on his way home musing the empty void his life rings through his job and way of life. Suddenly the elevator he's in gets stuck.

His limo driver, a jew, also witnesses his madness. When they saved him form the elevator he came out in the end. Still deep in his piece of madness he came out wondering which path to take.

Asssingment 10


Ummm... I'm not sure because honestly I think that I did well on the blogs I guess i wouldnt be so harsh on my opinions but thats how i am i belive that if where somewhere the majority of the time we have a choice and we are the reason we are where we are.

Assignment 8


I believe that lakshmi is very innocent and naiive. i also believe that she needs to have enough self-esteem to tell her mother she is worth as much as a man! To tell her father that she is more man than him! But lakshmi is also strong enough to endure the brothel I will say brave when she escaped but she was a coward to continue under Mumtaz's fingers.


Stopping by woods on a snowy evening-?


I think that all Lakshmi wanted to do was to die and she daydreamed with it but she knew that her family needed her and I believe it was also her hopee to see a light at the end of the tunnel.


Assignment 7


Well mostly i believe its not only the goverment's fault but also the people's! its not that hard to call against it. Also so many women fall helpless to it but in the end they have a choice. If only they would try to run away because then again isnt that better than being constantly "raped"?
Also i mean rape??? I think that they let themselves unless of course they're paralyzed or held down ut they can fight them. maybe then though its also their families fault for letting go of their children so they can maintain a family! It is stupid but when it comes down I believe that women have a choice in the end.

Assignment two


The difference between a son and daughter

Summary:
my stepfather's arm is useless; he doesn't work at all, but my mother says we are blessed to have him in our company. I am the dutiful daughter who sucks up to him ignoring how i am barely worth the value of a man.
In Depth:
I believe that she is a good girl. She poses as what everyone else bends her to be despite that she seems to never be enouhg for anyone leading to the fact that she believes it. She's naive and really she has been bent and twisted to pose as the ignorant slaved daughter!
