    As we all know, Hitler was the reason why World War 2 started in the first place. Adolf Hitler, the guide and leader of the natzi party, was born on April 20, 1889 and died at age 56 on April 30, 1945 as a suicide inflicted by a gunshot.

Too shy to speak up loud enough to be heard, the boy grew more and more afraid of his audience, until Piggy stepped up to speak for him.

    Adolf Hitler was the ruler of Germany during World War 2; he is the blamed for the Holocaust and the destruction of Europe. Hitler is possibly considered the most hated person in the world. Adolf was born in Branau am Inn, Austria, on April 20, 1889. He was one of six children. When he was 3 his family moved from Austria to Germany. As a child he became interested in the Arts rather than business, which his father strongly disagreed with. Due to not living in Austria long, he showed very strong German nationalism. Hitler dropped out of school and moved to be a laborer and watercolor painter. After being denied the acceptance into the Academy of Fine Arts twice Adolf moved into a homeless shelter. Without any money he remained there for many years. This is thought of when he first had Anti-Semitism ideas. Hitler signed up to serve in the German army when World War 1 broke out. He was wounded at Somme and was also awarded the iron cross. When the war effort ended he was furious and stunned that Germany surrendered. Fighting in the war only grew his nationalism toward Germany. He blamed the surrender of the war on the betrayal of civilian leaders and the Marxists. While working for the military intelligence officer he inherited many of the anti-Semitic, nationalist, and anti-Marxist ideas from the DAP party`s founder, Anton Drexler. He soon joined the German Worker`s Party (DAP) and personally designed the banner, a swastika in a white circle on a red background. Adolf Hitler then went around making speeches against the Treaty of Versailles, rival politicians, Marxists and Jews. Hitler made many promises to the country of Germany in order to come to power. Most of the promises he made, he did not keep. Germany`s extreme depression created a great platform for him to gain power. At this time the people wanted somebody to come to power to fix their problems. Hitler said that he could help the people of Germany and…

    “Lord of the Flies” (LoTF) by William Golding was written after World War II. Golding himself joined the Royal Navy which inspired him to write this book. The book was based on an imaginary nuclear war and combined the values of society, a philosophical theory about human nature and the Christian Bible stories into this book to reflect his idea – ‘man produces evil as bee produces honey’. The term ‘Evil’ is a label which humans use to describe immoral actions that are not necessary for one’s survival. This idea of humans are evil when in a state of nature was strongly portrayed, however, LoTF also explored other possibilities of human nature such as civilization, rationality and logic. Nevertheless ‘Evil’ was the intended theme of this book and Golding’s idea about ‘man produces evil naturally’ does not hold because man produces ‘Savagery’ more often than ‘evil’.…

    As the novel is an allegory, each character is symbolized clearly as someone in our society. “Piggy could think. He could go step by step inside that fat head of his, only Piggy was no chief. But Piggy, for all his ludicrous body, had brains (Golding, 71).” Piggy is the scientific and intellectual aspect of society. He is a thinker, philosopher and someone who always advises for good. Similarities to Albert Einstein can also be seen in Piggy, because people did not care that he thought the atomic bomb was a bad weapon just like no one cared about what Piggy said or did.…
