I personally think that The Wave is important to read because it shows how easy it was for Hitler to grab the German's attention and loyalty. In the book, many of the characters in Mr. Ross’s class felt exhilarated after his experiment. They were so attached to The Wave that they wanted to continue on with it. Reading the book has made me realize how the Nazis came to be. The students of Mr. Ross’s class felt like they had a leader because of how abrasive he was. For example, when one of the students didn’t follow one of his directions during the experiment, he would yell, tell them to sit down and try again. Sometimes, he would even slam his hand on the desk. I think everyone should read The Wave. This book has really shown what happened to
The book shows how powerful Hitler was with his words, but also how powerless he could’ve been without his words. In the novel,
Personally, for me the book changed my way of viewing muslims and immigrants. It is true that a minority of them have committed terrorism or will but we can't let a minority affect the majority of them and just hate every aspect of them. If we do that then that just shows how inconsiderate and selfish we are as a nation. After 9/11 took place, it seems like every muslim is stereotyped as a murderer or terrorist. I still understand why majority of America doesn’t want one single muslim here, because they have been involved in most of the terrorist attacks that have took place in our country and mainly we don’t know what their attitude is.
The main character in the book, Helmuth Hubener, lives a life that is told in this book that makes it a really good read for anyone. His story specifically sets a good example on how people should never have to be treated unfairly again in this world. In the story it says, “Now it’s against the law to listen to foreign radio. “Such laws are necessary during war time.” says hugo brusquely. To protect the Fatherland. The enemy will stop at nothing to
I would suggest that no one reads the book before they are seniors, maybe juniors, in high school. I would recommend it to students younger, but some of the stories are slightly too graphic, like the one where the little boy is being hung, but is not heavy enough to die right away so he just hung there for a while until he finally died. I feel that everyone reads the book because it gives people a better insight into what people experienced in the camps. I knew that the prisoners had a really rough life in the camps, but this book really opened my eyes to how bad it really was. People who are planning on being history majors or are going into politics should read this book at least twice. This would be so that they make sure that something like this does not happen again. Also, more so for the history majors, to teach other people the effects that living in the camps had on people. One example that really showed the effect of the camp was at the end when Eliezer looked at himself in the mirror and did not recognize himself. These are the main reasons I would recommend everyone read Night at least
Books are irreplaceable parts of society that help to form the opinions and beliefs of the people that are within it. Without books we would lack the knowledge of those in the past, and the ability to see the world from a different perspective. Each book contains information different from the last, but each book is written with a purpose. Each book is written for a reason, and what we are able to obtain from the books that we have been given reflect the person that we are. Without books we would be lost as people, as members within the community, and as a society as a whole we would be searching for something that we can not find. We would be hopeless and censored from the knowledge that is given to us through books. It is hard to imagine what we would know without books, if anything at all. The past would become the present and the future would have no meaning. Fahrenheit 451 displays a deep and thought provoking message to those that read it by showing us what it would be like to live in a society where we are forced to believe one thing, and are never able to form our own opinions. Proving that happiness doesn’t come from peace among the people, but rather the ability to to be able to live our life the way that makes you happy. Fahrenheit 451 contains many valuable themes and lessons that apply to our lives today and also remind us of some of the realities we are faced with.
Despite the use of explicit language in Fahrenheit 451, it should be studies in schools for it conveys an important message of thinking for yourself and places emphasis on the value of written text and literature as a whole.
significant because it shows that the book is trying to draw a picture in the reader's mind about
Personally, the book taught me a lot about how people deal with situations when under pressure, people’s need for power and how easy it really if for a war to break out and I found that in my mind I could easily link what was going
It pays a great deal of attention to what was going on outside the bunker and provides fascinating accounts of what was happening to other Nazi leaders, such as Himmler, Goering, Speer, Doenitz, and many others. It also does an excellent job of placing Hitler's last days within the fuller context of both Nazi and 20th-century German history.
Fahrenheit 451 is an important book about the perception of the future if books were inaccessible. This book is also a valuable piece of literature because it explains to the readers that after reading a book you can gain more knowledge and everyone else.
The public of Fahrenheit 451 are seemingly unaware of how much they are being controlled and it takes only a few moments of clarity for the main character, Montag, to realize how corrupt his own society is. Bradbury uses his own life experiences of WWII and the Nazi book burnings for inspiration in the creation of his top-selling novel. Fahrenheit 451 is as entertaining as it is informative and a warning to the world about the dangers of censorship and protecting the freedom of
The Middle Ages were a time of great despair here are somes examples of how. The Jews weren't welcomed and they were beat by the Christians “The common people, with scornful eye and insatiable heart, rushed upon the Jews and stripped them, and then scouring them, cast them forth out of the king’s hall.” The King didn’t care about the Jews, but cared for the city. “On the day after the coronation, the king … caused those offenders to be arrested who had set fire to the city; not for the sake of the Jews but on account of the houses and property of the Christians which they had burnt and plundered. The plague was a very deadly disease that occurred during the middle ages. The population dwindled during that time from 16 billion to 14 billion.
For many years, the idea of the Illuminati has been the center of a long debate. Are they real? Who are they? Are there any facts or only false proofs? This specific subject remains an unsolved mystery till this day. Despite its existence for hundreds of years, no one has been able to answer all detailed questions on the matter. Even though the questions marks on the Illuminati have risen, research provides us with no more than enlightenment on the subject. The Illuminati, started with a group of elite intellectuals whose goal was to run the world and empower a ‘one world government’ by using similar rituals as the satanic ones. Some of you might say that they have failed to do so. However, after examining all the facts of that secret society, it has been found that they do in fact rule the world, starting with the banks, and moving on to the media, where they have infiltrated their symbols and hidden messages in movies, animated pictures designed for children, music we listen to everyday. Their messages are everywhere and can be seen by anyone. Their purpose is not to show them directly to the receiver,
After reading this book, I feel as though I need to work even harder to remember the tragedy of the past and maintain my individuality to keep events like the Holocaust from ever happening again. What I liked most about The Wave is that the author did not seem to dramatise the true story of this experiment too much, and the characters’ actions were very believable. I also was impressed by how the author could engage me deeply in a book that was so short, at one-hundred and thirty-eight pages. Although I really enjoyed reading this, one aspect I did not like was how there were so many characters to keep track of. I was sometimes confused while reading this book because there were some names of characters I did not recognize, so I had to turn back and find where they were mentioned. Overall, I highly recommend The Wave, as it is a well-written book that shows how easily people, in this case high-school students, can be manipulated when they are given orders and structure from a superior, and I think the author highlights the parallels from Mr. Ross’s experiment to the terror and lack of idiosyncrasy in Nazi
