I’m writing my paper on when compares his classroom to
Nazi Germany. He compared his classroom to Nazi Germany because of a few
situations. First one of which he chooses and one in which Archie does. Both of
which Adolph Hitler did in Nazi Germany. In these next couple of paragraphs I’m
going to compare and contrast the situations to those of what Hitler performed.
First Brother Leon caused a situation to happen in his classroom.
There
was one kid, named Bailey, in the class who scored a 100 percent on his test
every week. Brother Leon told the whole class that Bailey cheated on all of his
test. At first the other guys didn’t do anything. But eventually after a person
high in authority, like Brother Leon, said this they started believing him. So all
the guys took the teachers side and revolted against Bailey just because of what
one leader said
This is strikingly similar to what Adolph Hitler did in Nazi Germany in the
1930’s -1940’s, the Holocaust.
Hitler convinced all his Nazi clan to believe that
the Jewish people were the superior race. He and his people killed 6 million
Brown 2
Jewish people because of the powerful word of a authority figure. Hitler
brainwashed all his followers just like Brother Leon brainwashed the class into
believing that Bailey cheated.
Another incident that happened was when Archie convinced Goober to
take out all of the nuts and bolt and screws out of the desk’s.
Then when
everyone sat down the whole classroom fell apart. It drove Goober mad in the
mind feeling the guilt from what he had done. Hitler also did this very thing to
his Nazi clan. They performed many terrible things to the Jewish race. Such
horrible things were going on some of the Nazi men felt remorse for what they
had done to the innocent Jewish people. Archie felt no remorse just as Hitler
didn’t in Germany.
Archie controlled all of the school. Even Brother Leon came
to Archie to run the Chocolate sales. Archie was just as Hitler was in late 30’s
through late 40’s. They controlled people that listened and went with there
beliefs and worked out there tasks.
This is how Brother Leon’s classroom and Archie’s influence are
compared to Nazi, Germany. First Brother Leon convinced a whole class of
guys that Bailey was a cheater and they all turned on him just like Hitler and his
Nazi clan turned against the Jews and thought of them as a superior race.
The
second incident was with Archie. He was the runner of the school. Even Brother
Leon came to Archie to run the Chocolate sales. He convinced Goober to take
all screws out of desk’s just for amusement. Just as Hitler convinced his Nazi
clan to torture the Jewish people.
That’s how Brother Leon’s class and the
whole school can be compared to Nazi Germany and Hitler’s doing’s in the time
of the Holocaust.
