    One of the most specific similarities between To Kill a Mockingbird and the author are the names of her characters. Many of the names found in the book stem from the maiden name of her mother, Frances Cunningham Finch Lee (Flanchman). The main character’s family name of Finch is easy to spot, but several other characters claim their title from this, including Scout’s rotten cousin Francis and the Cunningham family. Lee followed a similar rule with Scout and Jem’s father, Atticus. Not only is his name very similar to her own father’s first name of Amasa, but his character corresponds with him as well.…

    A famous explanation for the start of his hatred for the Jews lies in one of his favorite parts of life: art. According to researchers, Hitler applied for the Vienna Academy of Art in 1908, but his application to the institute was rejected (telegraph.co.uk). Many researchers believe that this rejection was one of the catalysts that sparked his underlying beliefs in anti-semitism. In addition, he was a person who strongly believed in “Aryan” superiority, and he saw Jews as core problems in society. In his rise to power as the Chancellor of Germany, he repeatedly expressed these views of superiority, and he used the discontent Germans felt after losing World War I as one of the chief pillars for his rise to power.…

    Theodore Roosevelt once wisely said, “I believe that the more you know about the past, the better you are prepared for the future.” Perhaps this is why oftentimes authors reflect upon past events in their writing. By putting their own twist upon history, they are teaching us all valuable lessons and educating us about how we can avoid making the same mistakes as we did in the past. J.K Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, did just this by modeling her character, the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, after Adolf Hitler, perhaps one of the world’s most malevolent dictators. Throughout the Harry Potter series, we can see many parallels between the respective rises to power of Lord Voldemort and Adolf Hitler in post World War I Germany.…
