    War has proven over a series of time that it destroys the human mind. It turns family against family, brother against brother, leaving a lasting affect on the human psych. Using literary elements, authors have a way of describing war through their writing. Liam O’Flaherty and Thomas Hardy are two examples of this. Liam O’Flaherty’s short story, “The Sniper”, and Thomas Hardy’s poem, “The Man He Killed”, contain a plot, irony, and theme to describe their thoughts on war, and can be used to state how these two pieces of writing are more different than similar.…

    In a quote from Mao in the early 1980’s, he said, “All great men are seven parts good and three parts bad.” However he only fulfilled this a few times at the beginning of his career as the leader of China. Although Mao did live up to his words by first directing his focus to the people, he soon changed and became the opposite of what he had described a great man to be by ultimately focussing on himself. This caused there to be chaos to erupt later.…

    Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler were unarguably the two most powerful leaders to ever rule Russia and Germany. The pair spread terror across the Europe as they took power and aimed to consolidate it. Stalin was born in Georgia, which was then part of the Russian empire, and was the son of a cobbler. During his time as a student he began reading Marxist literature and it inspired him to devote his time to the revolutionary movement against the Russian monarchy. He would often get arrested and exiled to Siberia during his time as an activist, however when the Bolsheviks seized power in 1917 he rose through the ranks of the party.…

    The Führer, on the other hand, had a more nebulous relationship with Nietzsche’s writings. While Hitler appropriated Nietzsche’s ideas into his ideology, he never actually read his works personally. There were, however, stories and rumors spread throughout Germany regarding the two. Viennese actress Rosa Albach-Petty, for example, reportedly heard a story from a friend of a young workman named Adolf Hitler who asked to borrow Thus Spoke Zarathustra and another book by Nietzsche, saying, “‘almost solemnly,’” “‘I promise you ma’am, that I will cherish the books like life itself.’”…

    Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini were like each other in many ways. Both were devoted Fascists, and both became dictators of their countries at similar times using similar strategies. This was not surprising, as Hitler had seen the success of Mussolini’s rise to power and was inspired to do the same in Germany. The two shared a common, clever strategy in taking power in a completely legal fashion. Their arrival in their governments and the laws they made that allowed them to run legal dictatorships were a major factor in their rise to power.…

    The Sniper and Cranes have differences that give two opposite ideas of the story. The main focus of The Sniper targets the civil war and the repercussions that follow it, whereas Cranes focuses on the loyalty one has to family and friends. The Sniper expresses the toll the war has taken on the soldier and how it affects him by giving detail about the feelings and thoughts he has about the war. The author wants the reader to know that the sniper is dedicated to his duty and does not think twice about the decisions he has to make. In Cranes, the opposite occurs; Songsam goes out of his duty and gives Tokchae the chance to escape instead of taking him to be killed, as he volunteered to do in the first place.…

    Mao on the other hand, didn't have a group like the Gestapo to hunt down and eliminate someone who opposed his viewpoint, instead Mao launched a program known as, The Hundred Flowers movement. This movement was targeted at the intellectuals of the Chinese Community, he wanted them to step forward and speak up on any criticisms they had about the government under Mao. Nonetheless, when they spoke up he took them away to camps to be “reeducated”, in order to follow the government Mao has created. Yet another difference, due to the fact that Hitler was a fascist leader was that he was an extreme nationalist. He wanted everyone to know how great the Aryan race was, and how great anything that came from their country was.…

    Hitler and Mussolini were more similar than dissimilar because of the way in which they garnered support for their parties and the methods that they used to control their countries. Mussolini first gained support for his party by calling for land for Italy, and Hitler’s idealistic speeches swayed many people to join the Nazi party. Mussolini’s appeals for land for Italy, which the Italians saw as their right, caused many people to support him and flock to his party. Similarly, “Hitler, in particular… promised to create a new Germany free of class differences and party infighting. His appeal to national pride, national honor, and traditional militarism struck chords of emotion in his listeners.”…
