Exploring Non-Fiction

World War II Hitler and the Nazis
By: William W. Lace

     The book was about Hitler's life. It went from him growing up with a distant father, to him having a hard time when it came to paying for necessary day-to-day items. It talks about how he started off as before he became the leader of the Nazis. The book goes in depth when it talks about the things that happened along the way of him ruling. It also talks about what happened to him when he died and what he did days before he committed suicide. 

     In the book, it says, " First the Nazis went after the Jews, but I was not a Jew, so I did not object. Then they went after the Catholics, but I was not a Catholic, so I did not object. Then they went after the trade-unionists, but I was not a trade-unionist, so I did not object. Then they came after me, and there was no one left to object." This quote was interesting to me because it showed how some people saw this period of time. It showed how the Nazis went from one group of people to the next slowly, but yet noticeably. When they went to the people that that least expected, there was no one else for them to pick on. This quote gives a quick summary of the groups of people that the Nazis went against.

     Somethings that I learned in the book, I will not forget. For example, in the book I learned that when he was growing up, he wanted to become an artist. His father wanted Hitler to become a federal governor. When it came to school, he was good at "drawing and gymnastics but failed or barely passed everything else." I also learned that while Hitler was in prison for five years, he wrote a book. The book was titled Mein Kampf (My Struggle). Although about 10 million copies were sold, many people didn't really read it since " it was written in a dull, ponderous style and endlessly repeated the key themes of race, German destiny, survival of the fittest, and need for a militaristic dictatorship."

  1. I like how you use very formal detailed words. I learned something new about Hitler thanks to your blog post. So thank you for that. Also one suggestion is that don't stop writing like this. It is very good. I don't see any mistakes from my perspective in your blog. So keep doing s good work.

  2. Lizbeth, your format of writing is incredibly stunning. Someday, you should be a great writer. Your expressive clear writing was a helpful tool for me to learn about this intense topic. Although one advice from me would be to be a little bit more descriptive in your paragraph. Otherwise, great job Lizbeth

  3. This is very good, I like the way you write, because you go into details so well. You don't get carried off, meaning you stay on the topic you were discussing. You also wrote it so clearly, and made it easy for me to understand what your book is about. You did really good.

  4. Your blog was so good, it gave lots of information. It's so upsetting how the Nazi's went after everyone, then the last person because there was nobody left to object.

    To me there seems to be no mistakes, it's clear writing and understanding to read.
