The Boy Who Dared Reflection
The Boy Who Dared
The boy who dared us a historical fiction book that talks about the holocaust. A boy named Helmuth Guddat Hubener, and his life. In the beginning it mainly talks about his life and how he lived. I noticed that there's lifes had some differences but also some similarities. Some differences are that all three brothers slept in the same bed. Its very unlikely today for that to happen. Some similarities are they did have a radio to listen to announcements that Hitler gave, or other important things. This books setting is in germany, mainly with all the Nazi people and obviously Hitler. So basically hitler became leader of the Nazi Germany and raised to power because he promises he can fix everything and get germany out of this

our country kind of relates to this, when people run for president. We listen to their speeches and decide who we want to represent us, just as Hitler did and won everyone over. Helmuth has a good friend who is Jewish, and over time helmuth sees him be beaten and wonders why is this happening and nobody doing anything, the Nazi people are taking them away and Helmuth really doesn't know what to think of Hitler. We now don't relate to this at all, nobody will arrest or beat for their beliefs because we are a free country, and back when Hitler was leader it seemed like a dictatorship. As Hellmuth gets more and more suspicious of third reich propaganda, he starts to listen and rely on and illegal radio station saying lots of things about hitler that people don't know that he is doing. He hears that Germany as well as british lost the war. So Helmuth decides to make a newsletter saying all this information he got from the illegal radio. In the middle of the night he hands out flyer saying all these things, about Hitler. Soon later someone turns him in and he starts getting beaten and tortured by the Nazis. He is later sent to death row, and they take him into a concentration camp. In the ends his life comes to an end, because someone decided to

    Looking back at the events that occurred during our history, particularly during World War II, many of the people often reflect back and ask the question, ‘Who let a man like Hitler come into power or what made the German people decide to follow him? The seeds of Hitler's rise to power were planted following the outcome of the First World War. Hitler’s rise to power was not inevitable. It depended heavily on a range of factors, events and circumstances.…

    By making connections to the text, Resisting Hitler, I am able to further my understanding of how the characters feel and where their motivation comes from. When watching on TV about all those rebellions around the world in the past years and even now, it isn’t that hard to see the fire that sparks in the people’s eyes. I automatically see their energy and motivation within them, that drives them to do whatever it takes to get their opinion across, even if it means dying. By being able to realize the reality of wanting something so bad, I can understand how Helmuth did everything he could to go up against Hitler.…

    Nazi Propaganda Analysis

    • 892 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Given the unfairness of the treaty of Versailles and the tumultuous economic times, along with the basis laid down in defining the “undesirables”, the Nazi’s propaganda machine found a surfeit of listening ears. Their portrayal of the hard working “Aryan” German family, punished unfairly by the cost of reparations from World War I, succeeded in propagating the Ingroup Bias, the tendency for people to give preferential treatment to other people they perceive as being members of their own group. Many common German citizens, their livelihoods strained and shattered by the incompetence of the Weimar Republic, could relate to the message broadcasted by the Nazi party and found refuge in their sharply patriotic ideals. When the Nazi party starting gaining more and more followers, the Ingroup Bias helped lead to the creation of an overwhelming Bandwagon effect, in which those who felt differently about Hitler 's policies stayed silent and adopted the behaviors of the majority in order to protect their safety. This, in turn, created a Projection Bias, where people subconsciously assumed that all others shared similar values and positions as themselves, further reducing opposition to Nazi beliefs. This vicious cycle effectively led to a totalitarian state where Nazi ideals reigned supreme with little to no opposition, and certainly no…

    In today’s world everyone must choose a side when it comes to political parties. One may or may not share the exact same ideology of the party, but may tend to side with them on particular issues. In the Simulation Assignment, I had the “pleasure” of being a member of the National Party (Far Right). Many people see this part as extremist or people who have lost touch of reality due to their beliefs and policies on many different things. Many of these parties are not glorious or famous, but rather infamous due to nature of their beliefs. One of those infamous parties is the Nazi party that controlled Germany that one an election in the slightest margin. The party focused on Nationalism and blaming the Jews for the failure of their people. This…

    Chapter 16 of our textbook for class, Teaching Elementary Physical Education: Strategies for the Classroom Teachers is called “Interdisciplinary Strategies for Physical Education”. I felt as though this particular chapter was very “to the point”, but that it was also packed with a lot of information that could be very useful in the classroom. This chapter was about just what the title suggests: ways that you could integrate physical education into everyday classroom activities and learning. I can definitely see myself using some of the stuff that I read about in this chapter in my future classroom.…

    Chapter 4 Reflection

    I am not sure if this goes exactly with the reflection but here it goes. My niece Savannah has always wanted to be a doctor. She began by going to school in Joplin and got her Bachelor’s in Nursing and is now an RN. She moved back home and is now working at Rogers Mercy Hospital in the ER. She still wants to be a doctor but since the Joplin tornado and I am sure some other reservations she does not want to leave home and go to medical school so she has decided to settle for becoming a Nurse Practitioner where she will still have to travel at least 2 hours each day she has class but she still gets to stay at home. She will begin this fall. Our entire family has tried to encourage her to go on to medical school and that we can visit and she can visit and we would help her through. We then thought the boyfriend of two years was holding her back, but he was caught cheating and they have now split up, but her decision still stands firm she just does not want to go far from home. She has always entrusted me and come to me with all her problems when she needs to talk, I suppose because we are close in age. There have even been times I had to break that trust for her own good when she was younger, but she still comes to me. I myself keep trying to encourage her to go to medical school, but without actually sitting her down and knowing how to handle her issues with leaving home and the tornado I feel as if I am becoming just like everyone else and trying to push her when she is really looking for some help. How would you go about helping a client in this…
