The use of this rhetorical device allows him to establish his main idea subtly, due to the fact that some of the terms he uses, the German people would not understand. As Hitler goes into detail of explaining what he is going to do, he uses various terms that make the Germans believe he is doing well when in fact it is for a horrible crime. “...to conduct humanitarian warfare – that is, to attack only fighting troops.”(Hitler, Adolf). With this use of euphemism, Hitler is able to conceal that he is going to bomb large places but saying he is only attacking the troops that are fighting. This type of euphemism allows him to influence the German people with what their opinion on the issue is going to be.

George did the same thing when he said, “This conflict started August 2nd when the dictator of Iraq invaded a small and helpless neighbor.” By referring to Kuwait as “small” and “helpless” he is using pathos and evoking the emotions of both feeling bad for Kuwait and hating the big bully in Iraq. Pathos and Ethos are shown to be very useful and convincing techniques in Bush and Henry’s speeches. George Bush Sr. and Patrick not only both used ethos and pathos, but also convinced others by using the logic of logos. “They tell us, sir that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger?
At Roosevelt’s inaugural speech he assured Americans that all they had to fear was “fear itself.” On the other hand, Hitler aggravated his follower’s fears and prejudices. While Franklin Delano Roosevelt did his work by stirring compassion; Adolf Hitler did his own by stirring up hatred. They both were known for their charisma, ability to arouse emotion, and rose to power during a national crisis. Both were leaders by symbolic and appeal. Franklin Delano Roosevelt used freedom symbols such as the bald eagle and used kind words such as "friend" or "my fellow..." to get people to support his ideas.
Both Auden and Watson effectively form representations and perspectives through the implementation of techniques within their texts. Auden actively uses poetic techniques to display his own negative perspective regarding the power of dictators in "Epitaph of a Tyrant". Auden immediately creates an ambiguous environment as the first line states how dictators are after "perfection, of a kind". The slight pause after perfection satirises its positive connotation casting doubt upon the reader questioning what type of perfection that the dictators wanted. In addition, Auden further demonstrates his negative perspective through the comment on the amount of knowledge the dictators know; "[Dictators] knew human folly like the back of [their] hand".
HY2 past paper d) How useful are sources A,E and F in understanding Nazi Germany 1933-1939?The three sources as a whole give a general idea on Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1939 but these sources – as bias material – don’t give a very well rounded view. The Czechoslovakian cartoon shows a very bias view of Germany in 1938, during this time Hitler was starting to invade surrounding lands and would have had a bad name among many European countries. The cartoon shows an SS officer controlling an artist which with my hindsight can see is a very useful source in understanding that others felt that the Nazis were controlling many aspects of Germany at the time. It is now a common opinion that Goebbels controlled all propaganda, including art, making sure that all media types were supporting the Nazi regime thus indoctrinating the German people. This source also shows that terror helped control the Germans and what they said or showed publicly.
For Dalrymple, the overdose is the easiest way to relieve the crisis in their lives. I see the nature of the suicides and attempted suicides in the U.S. as being part of a greater philosophical debate. It is the question which was so often debated by such existentialist philosophers like Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sarte, and Franz Kafka. They argued that when life breaks down to the point where it is rendered meaningless, the only question that is left, is whether or not to commit suicide. I feel that the absurd reality that surrounds the youth of our present day underclass, while not absolving them of any responsibility for their actions, can be viewed as viable source of the crisis.
“Somebody told me they thought he killed a man once” A thrill passes over all of us. The three Mr. Mumbles bent forward and listened eagerly, ‘ I don’t think it’s so much that” argued Lucille skeptically, “it’s more that he was a German spy during the war (Fitzgerald 44). Now that we know he was a German spy we know for sure that he has some sort of power and respect. As bad as some of the people at the party are making it sound I think people knowing he was a German spy will give him a little more respect. The Author uses big and meaningful words to emphasize a quote that tells you this quote is somehow or another meaningful.
The truth in mental health lies somewhere between the shameless 20’s and the shameful war. As Americans we are taught to think that anything that has to do with the word shame is negative because the dictionary definition of the word shame means “the painful feeling arising from the consciousness of something dishonorable.” But shame can also mean “disgrace; ignominy.” More often than not shame is used when one would say they were a disgrace, which is why shame is always used when one wants to say something negative. In The Great Gatsby Scott Fizgerald redefines the word shame through the book, just like Tim O’Brien does in the “Things They Carried”. In the Great Gatsby Scott Fitzgerald argues that the word shameless should be redefined as careless. The Great Gatsby was at the time of the Roaring 20s where everything was new and if you were wealthy the world was basically your playground, if you were wealthy you didn’t really have much shame in what you did because you knew you could probably have someone else clean up the mess you made
German Jews were popular targets of blame because they stood out from the population at large. Hitler accused these Jews repeatedly of damaging the war effort and being employed in safe jobs far away from the front lines. A historical investigation will be conducted regarding a thorough analysis of what the holocaust was and what reasons paved the way for the holocaust to occur. Basically stated, Adolf Hitler was the leader of Germany for the duration of approximately twelve years spanning from 1933-1945. Hitler possessed a vision of creating what he thought could possibly be a “perfect race” (Aryan race).
