Life Is Beautiful ❤️❤️

Life Is Beautiful 

    If I were to compare the movie Life is Beautiful to my poem Forgotten the connection I would make the connection that even in desperate situations and when things get tuff you should never loose hope and keep trying to fight for what you fight for which in the movie and the poem it was love and freedom they were fighting for what they believed was right. For example, in the movie it showed that when the mom Dora was separated from her son Joshua and her husband Guievl. Guievl disguised himself as a woman to find  her but was caught by S.S. Nazi soldiers and shot multiple times. And in the poem it showed how the writers lover was taken away and how he tried to discover her and hopefully reunite.
   It is difficult to try and compare the tone and the overall message between the poem and the movie because it focus on such a level that is so hard for anyone imagine that back in the 1940s the world was falling apart almost 1 million might have died in a month or less. But still you could find hope in the little bit of places even if that was scarfrising there own life's or someone else's in the end they still had hope that some day it would get better. 
     Although it might have been hard to find hope in the movie because it was again as I said taken at such a terrible time in history the father Guievl tried to support his son from learning the reality and saving his wife by send messages across the loud speaker and giving his and his mom hope that they were okay and that they wanted her mother to be safe and well.

Propaganda

This propaganda poster represents how the German man is the most powerful man living on Earth and he is an inferior race and that this race is the savior of our planet by ruthlessly killing the Jewish population which are portrayed to be nasty slob and which shows that propaganda was so easy to do back then since most people relied on the government and it was a way to brainwash citizens into thinking what they wanted. Which almost makes you think, even if our government is brainwashing us and if so what?

Cold War Nonfiction Book

For my my nonfiction book, I have chosen to talk about the Cold War. Overall, the Cold War started after a result of World War II the fallen Nazi Germans was divided into four sectors the capital Berlin was taken over by communist rule of the Soviet Union while the west was captured by the allies of the United States, France and Britain all ruled the east with a capitalist government. Moving on to 1961 a wall between east and West Berlin was build to limit the number of migration to the west since the communist government was murdering people day by day to people who either opposed the government or who set a threat to the government. So, east Berlin proposed an idea to build a wall and separate these two nations causing the Cold War leading the United States and Soviet Union to clash into each other. These two world superpowers had there own ideas on how the world should be runned the USSR wanted to spread communism all over the world and the United States wanted to spread Capitalism. Again and again there was constant bickering the Soviet Union expanded communism to another level by creating three proxy wars in Asia and in the Middle-east. The Korean War (July 25, 1950-July 27, 1953) which seperated the Korean Peninsula north was captured by the communist while the south was captured by the capitalist. And shows the amount of propaganda that was captured and shown to the world.

Regretting

We all regret something that we have done in our lives, sometimes that regret may lead you to change you're outlook on life. One biggest regret I have is back in July of 2012 regretting the last opportunity I had see my bestfriends last day. Waking up knowing that it was my bestfriends ninety-fifth birthday I was so eager to rush to his house and see him and give him his birthday present and be first to say happy birthday. But that was all cut sort when I heard that I needed to go downtown to the hospital I tried so hard to try and organize  a plan but it didn't work out. I had to go leave my bestfriend behind. Later as little time as twenty-four hours would I regret my decision of not staying when I was the first to discover my pride and joy my mentor gone. After this experience I learned that a life can be taken away and you might have no idea when and most importantly who it might be. I regret not staying, not seeing him in person not hugging him are the little things I regret but know I learned my lesson to appreciate everything and everyone around me to live as it was you're last and to respect others.
