The movie “The Great Dictator” is based on World War I, where the protagonist Hannah (Chaplin) was fighting in the army of the Tomania, who also resembled Hynkel (Chaplin), who eventually became the Dictator of Tomania. After a series of events, Hannah the soldier was mistaken for the Dictator and Hynkel was arrested by his own soldiers. In this speech, before the assembled crowd of Tomania, Hannah denounces everything that Hynkel stands for and made a rousing plea for democracy. Chaplin started his speech with great humility and pain, in the words “I am sorry, I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business.” He was pained by the long lasting acrimonious effect of the continuous war, which was creating more and more dictators. Addressing
The consequences of the war were extremely gloomy because it opposed to the progress of the nature, destroying human beings. In that harsh war, the living
I’m writing to Lisa Darger, Coordinator of Sustainability from the office of Sustainability. A coordinator is who organize events, activities and arrange people in order to make sure they work together effectively. Since Darger is Coordinator, she can make all the changes and add new facilities to the recycling and littering activities. I’m wanting to discuss her about providing more trashcans here and there and also proving more recycling activities on campus. I think she will be interested in my letter because it is responsibility if there is issues about litter or recycling is occurred, and I’m sure she will be happy to help me about my issues about littering on campus.
The reason that he was quite uncertain and full with doubts, prevented him from doing more for his people. In a scene, when Cecil and President
His repetition serves the purpose of emphasizing the horrors that indifference creates. This one word, when repeated continuously throughout the speech, can awaken his audience to the true collaborator in every atrocity of the world. This one word gives an effective warning to the audience about what they might be affecting just by showing apathy. Therefore, not only does the repetition of “indifference” underline what causes the atrocities that they are sickened by, but also suggests that their own indifference may be a contributing factor in these
They cannot be whom they want to be, or act for themselves. All forms of individualism are repressed. These people are simply like tools in the dictator’s hands. These dictators can end the lives of others, choose who they will be and what they will do for the rest of their lives, and even what they will look like! The characters are forced or molded into what the dictators see as perfection. There is no such thing as a perfect society. Not everyone can be pleased, but at least there is a way the people could have the rights they
Dictatorship throughout the ages has mainly led to oppression and conflict between people and government. Some of the notoriously bad dictators took office around the 1920’s and 1930’s. There were three main dictators in that time period and they all ran different countries in very different ways. Josef Stalin was known as the dictator of the Soviet Union, he was all about communism and did not care if there was opposition to his ideas. On the other hand, Benito Mussolini was in charge of Italy and all about fascism. Possibly the worst known dictator of all times was Hitler, in charge of, Germany, he was all about Nazism. Each had a different outlook on ruling, but they all did things similarly to lead to nations hatred against them. Basically, their ultimate goal was to do what was best for their countries, however, there want for power tended to get in the way. They all wanted to accomplish many things, they used many different ideas and ways to run their nations. They were all blamed for their nations demise in one way or another. This essay will discuss the similarities and differences between Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini.
He was not allowed to shine or show his full potential, much like a hungry carnivore caged and prevented from seeking out its prey. ‘"I am the Emperor!" cried Harrison. "Do you hear? I am the Emperor! Everybody must do what I say at once!" He stamped his foot and the studio shook. "Even as I stand here" he bellowed, "crippled, hobbled, sickened - I am a greater ruler than any man who ever lived! Now watch me become what I can become!”’ He showed absolutely no fear of the consequences the rush of rebellion brought to
Along with the modern view on war, both these authors provide a negative impression on the glory and nobility of war, exposing the wastefulness of it. Through the use of language and imagery, they provide a sense of pity towards these soldiers who risk their lives for their country. In this modern

After facing so many challenges and surviving a lot of battles, he easily angers his men by gloating and causing them unnecessary danger.
“War is more than a true chameleon that slightly adapts its characteristics to the given case. In the totality of its phenomena, with respect to its dominant tendencies,
A dictator is defined as a ruler with total power over a country, typically one who obtained power by force. In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, Jack Merridew is the equivalent of a dictator to the boys of the island. Jack’s peculiar leadership style lead to both success and failures.
In the 1940’s film The Great Dictator by Charlie Chaplin, Chaplin plays the role of a Jewish Barber set in a time similar to that of World War II. The jewish barber shares a striking resemblance to that of the great dictator Hynkel. In the third act of the film Hynkel is captured by mistake from his own soldiers and they mistaken the jewish barber as their great dictator. With this new great power bestowed upon the jewish barber he uses this chance to cry out to the people of the newly invaded country that Hynkel had sieged. In this short speech Charlie Chaplin delivers it with a style similar to that of Hitler. Chaplin at this point uses pure emotions to fuel his speech while he brings strategies such as hyperboles and metaphors to convince the audience to stand up for what 's right and to bring humanity back to what we as humans once were.
It was summer of 2013 and it was my first time traveling alone. I was going to Champéry, Switzerland. I felt excited because it’s a part of the world which I haven’t visited before. Going to the airport by myself and going through customs was a bit of a hassle, but nothing I can’t handle. When I arrived at Champéry by train, I had to walk to the camp which not that far Just a 10-minute walk. As I walked to there the scenery was breathtaking. It was so green and surrounded with mountains where you can see white peaks because of the snow. You can see the cows wandering around on the hills and hear their jiggling bells.
Children are being babied way too much. Children are becoming extremely spoiled; to the point of no return. An end needs to be put to this before an inevitable catastrophe occurs! If ever given the chance, it is quite frightening to think about where this generations kids will stand a few years from now, is it not? Something needs to be done.
