World War Two: The Tragedy Of Nazi Germany

Totalitarianism in Germany lasted from 1933-1945. 1933 is when Hitler was elected to powers. The nazi party was a political group that ruled under Adolf Hitler's leadership the nazis started World War II. Reasons why Hitler was able to rule was because he promised that he would put food on their tables and money in their pockets. To be able to support the military's war the Germans built up war materials which was against the Treaty of Versailles. Many countries

Clarisse also shows the second example of the terrible conditions within Fahrenheit 451, through the same conversation with Montag. She says to him “I’m afraid of children my age. They kill each other … Six of my friends have been shot in the last year alone. Ten of them died in car wrecks” (30). In this world, the children spend most of their free time killing each for sadistic sport. There is no doubt of the repulsivity of such a world. The final example of the terrifying conditions within Fahrenheit 451 presents itself when Captain Beatty explains to Montag how their society functions. Beatty attempts to achieve this understanding by asking “What do we want in this country, above all? People want to be happy, isn’t that right? … Well aren’t they? Don’t we keep them moving, don’t we give them fun? That’s all we live for, isn’t it? For pleasure, for titillation? And you must admit our culture provides plenty of these” (59). What has become apparent, through this speech, is that society within the novel has become entirely hedonistic. They lack all depth and spiritualism, only caring for fun and immediate

Ray Bradbury’s, Fahrenheit 451, is an alarming science fiction classic novel and a powerful commentary on humankind’s urge to suppress what it doesn’t understand. In this dystopian fictional world books are illegal; they are burned to a crisp when found. Books are very powerful. They come with knowledge, and knowledge can bring fear. Fear many times is something one cannot understand. To understand, one must know why one fears. Guy Montag in Fahrenheit 451 realizes this importance of the knowledge in books when he meets a young woman; Clarisse McClellan. Clarisse is an outsider, a very different type of girl. When she meets Montag, Clarisse sparks a change in him. Her curiosity and questioning is so unique that Montag is struck by her. He

The text is communicating in a way of humans not articulating who they are, what they are fearful of, or what they are hiding behind. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is conveying how his characters in the text do not want to see what is out in the real world. Also, he is communicating using something that everyone struggles with, finding who they are and what they are afraid of. The books are what they are afraid of not wanting to see what is out there, not wanting to find out the reality. Guy Montag was one of the few who wanted to seek pleasure and thought he could seek that from books. For this reason, reading made him comprehend that he was not happy, he did not love his wife, and he did not like what he was becoming. The firemen in the book were a group who would burn houses down that had books in them. Books were so prohibited that if someone had them in their custody their house would be burnt down along with their books. The real world is what everyone was focused on hiding from the books were a big part of that. Therefore, Ray Bradbury is telling his audience to come out to get out of a comfort zone.

Fahrenheit 451 is an enlightening story featuring a man, Guy Montag, who is struggling with his desire to read in a society where reading is prohibited. While it is plausible that Ray Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451 to inform the readers on how damaging it is to disregard books and turn completely to technology, it is much more likely that he wrote this book to show how important thinking on your own, or individual thinking, is. He does this by creating Montag, a dynamic character who experiences a journey from ignorance to enlightenment. His purpose in doing this is to to warn his audience, predominantly teenagers and young adults, of a possible outcome if people don’t start thinking for themselves.

Fahrenheit 451 states, “The woman on the porch reached out with contempt to them all, and struck the kitchen match against the railing” (Bradbury p. 37). The unnamed woman, who undoubtingly set herself and her books on fire, shows that the knowledge within books has great importance. The woman decided to sacrifice her life for books instead of accepting the consequences for owning them because she would rather die than to live in a world where books do not exist. Montag thinks, “There must be something in books, things we can’t imagine, to make a woman stay in a burning house; there must be something there. You don’t stay for nothing” (Bradbury p. 48). This quote shows how Montag begins to question the beliefs of the controlling administration. Montag establishes the belief that the woman attempts to make a stand against the banning of books because she believes there would be more to life and self-happiness with books being in society. Montag states in the book, “And for the first time I realized that a man was behind each one of the books” (Bradbury p. 49). Guy Montag is also beginning to realize that a common person like himself wrote each piece of literature. The writers of the publications lived through the horrid events and took the time to write about them. The roaming intellects at the end of the novel also took the time to memorize peculiar parts of various books which demonstrates that there is value within

Fahrenheit 451 is about a man who thought that the world needed to do away with books and just burn them and transfer over to technology. Referring to the a quote in the book “When Montag allows Faber to look through the Bible, Faber mentions that it is a shame how advertisers and the media have commercialized religion. Montag then begins to explain his unhappiness and Faber mentions that Montag is in search of some of the things that books provided” and as he searches, he looks for its overall purpose which he thinks there isn't any. The stubbornness of people and the fact that they have selective judgement on everything. As they plot what they are going to do to take down the system the very much hurt people and building in the process

The Tenth’s triumphs in Italy were demonstrative of the value of specialized forces. Their success both was very influential in the events of World War II and in proving the value of specialized forces. Once the government saw how effective the focused training of this division was, they realized that a new era had begun. The Tenth Mountain Division started the period of special forces.

After World War I legacy the Great Depression brought isolationism. The best work produced by President Roosevelt was the Four Freedoms; freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. President Roosevelt was the leader of the Allies, he used this statement as part of his Allies aim. The Soviet Union joined the Allies after being invaded by Germany. Millions of art were sold and reprinted as it publicizes the Four Freedom in 1943. In 1940s after tension between the United States and Japan over East Asia, on December 7, 1941 Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. There was no warning of this attack happening as a result United States declared war on Japan. The Good neighbors policy was, brought into place by President Roosevelt and Hoover in 1930s. This was a policy that would help the relationship between Latin American countries and the Unites States. The good neighbors policy would not only help the Latin countries but also the United States with trade and military.

Hitler and the Nazi party came into power during January 1933 in Germany. They believed that Germans were the superior race. This meant that they thought Germans was basically better than everyone

World War II happened during the time that women wanted more rights and wanted to be able to work. So when World War II happened, it created new job opportunities and women were able and willing to work. The war was fought between two alliances that was against each other, “the opposing alliances are now referred to as ‘The Axis’ and ‘The Allies’. The Axis group consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan. The Allies group consisted of France, Britain, the U.S., the Soviet Union, and China. World War II was especially heinous because of the genocide of Jewish people perpetrated by the Nazis.” (Diffen LLC, n.d.d). World War II is known for being a brutal and long war that involved more than thirty countries. Also, some of the important things of

In 1941, the United States, still in the throes of the Great Depression, enters World War II. With the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, the U.S. Congress, after a request by President Franklin Roosevelt, declares war. War is declared not just on Japan, but also on its ally, Hitler’s Germany. Because their ages range from 33 years to 42 years, and because they are married with three of them helping to raise two children each, Paul Baumgartner, Frank Young, Orval Koehler and Frank Deppe are not drafted into the military.

Fahrenheit 451 is a novel following the life of a thirty-year-old man named Montag and his society controlled by technology. In the book, books are illegal to read and own. It is the firemen’s job to burn these books and the houses which contain them. Neither Montag nor his wife Mildred can think of an answer as to why books are bad, other than the fact that they are illegal. When Montag meets a young girl Clarisse, she describes her school as unsocial and her fellow classmates as violent and wild. Therefore, the advancements of technology create a society where people lack logical thinking as seen by the characterizations of Mildred and the children attending Clarisse’s school.

If I learned anything from this book, it is that knowledge is power. In a desolate world in which people haven’t the slightest motivation to pursue that which is intellectually stimulating, only one force can guide someone to true happiness, and that is knowledge. This is shown in Guy Montag, where in the beginning of the novel, he is depicted as happy, saying things like “It was a pleasure to burn.” It wasn’t until Clarisse McClellan enlightened Montag with the emptiness in his life. Later, Montag risks everything even just to have a single book. Yet, it was this sense of meaning in Montag’s life that gave him happiness. After finishing Fahrenheit 451, I can take away the importance of reading itself and never to take advantage of opportunities to learn. This feeling of motivation is and what has motivated me to become the, if I do say so myself, intelligent person I am.

Thus, the Nazi Party, under Adolf Hitler, became popular and took advantage of the low state Germany was currently in. The Nazi Party had been considered a minority and a small part of the government, but with propaganda it continued to grow until it actually became the government and controlled all of Germany. It controlled the people and any type of media in Germany. The Nazi Party strived to make their own version of a “utopia”. For them a perfect society would consist of everyone being pure German.
