Diction Through Hitler example essay topic

676 words
The history of two opposite heroes. From hundred years ago, those characters caused changes. These changes can be classified between good and bad. In the biographies by Elie Wiesel about Adolf Hitler and Gloria Steinem about Margaret Sanger, the authors diction compares the two subjects as mostly evil and some what good, and mostly good and somewhat bad. The first way that Wiesel reveals diction through Hitler is its mostly bad way of being. Redefining the meaning of evil forever, Hitler grabbed every bodies attention.

He was so frightening that he was described as " Adolf Hitler or the incarnation of absolute evil" (1). Who fought for power, and for ideals that did not exist, that where only real in his own demagogic world. A person that never accepted other's view point, and that did not accept the real world which surrounded him. Phrases as "Hitler returns again to the hatred of jewish people" (4) still remains, having extreme resentment because his life rounds around heated and power, seeing jewish people with in superiority. His hate blinded him, killing six million jewish, because of believing himself to be the 'superman of Nietzsche', the one who followed his own will. He settles his score with the German people "he wants them destroyed, reduced to misery and shame" (4).

All that atrocious feelings for having failed him by denying him his glory. He was not prepared to recognize his own responsibility for the defeat of his Reich, collapsing his kingdom in the deadliest war in history. However, the fact is that " Hitler was beloved by his people" (3), Germans who pledged to him in affection, and a fidelity that demonstrates most people support. But an irony is seen; did they not saw the hateful mask that covered his face? , where relevant benefits were used for his convenience. The first thing Steinem's diction does is reveal the goodness of Sanger. Her crusade to legalize birth control spurred the movement for women's liberation.

She made people accept that "women had the right to control their own destinies" (2), living as if she and everyone had the right to live the life in the better way one could. Also saying that no one should have control in other destinies or decisions, justifying that potential fetal life is more important than a living woman's health or freedom. Many lovers and international network friends support her ideas, and described her as "charismatic and sometimes quixotic" (2), focusing on women's freedom, and giving them all the love she could. Also, she never stopped helping them, until their goals were achieved.

Sanger revolution may be even more controversial than during her 50- year career of national and international battles, "her experience can teach us many lessons" (1). She thought people, first, to look at the world as if women mattered because every single person contributes and make part of a entire world. Every body is important, it does not matter the colour you are, or the nationality you accomplish, but the importance is that all people connives like brothers and sisters, without injustice and in peace. Indeed, by seeing the other side of Sanger, with a different view point, "she led her brave and joyous life including fulfilling work" (2). Not everything in life is work, and the excess of it may affect us in certain way. There are priorities in life than work, like it is the relationship with the family and friends, the affectiveness by each other.

That should cause us to wonder what parallel errors we are making now and to question any tactics that fail to embody the ends we hope to achieve. These biographies recreates the goodness and evil way of Sanger and Hitler actions and thoughts. People who fought for different ideals, and conformed a new renaissance, with lots of visions and varied ways of seeing life.
