Everybody knows that Hitler as the one who persecuted the Jews, the one who wanted to impose his rules to the enitere world. For sure his was crazy but he had a great personality carisma and for this two qualities he convinced millions of people that he was doing the right thing. He used propaganda, to diffuse his ideas but you will propbably think why did everyone listen to his propaganda? Hitler was also a genius in a certain sense, he gived modified radios so people would listen only to what he said. He gave also many gifts to German people so he corrupted them., and eliminated everything that interfered with his great plan of conquist. His main obstacle to conquist the world were the Jews, Hitler thought they were too strong and a bit at the time he began to probate them to go to school, go on buses and other thing like that and then he began to eliminate them one by one in concentration camps and not many survived.

Italian Entry- Giacomo Leopardi

In Italian for antologia we are studying Giacomo Leopardi and other important authors and poets of that times. It was during the 1800's that poets like Giacomo Leopardi and other poets became famous. My favorite poet is obviously Giacomo Leopardi. He was a genius, he learned Latin, and Greek by himself, he wrote beautiful poems and everybody liked him a lot and admired him. Giacomo Leopardi came from a very rich family, unfortunately he had a very bad health and he couldn't go out of his house because he would probably get very ill and die. Leopardi loved nature and he loved also a girl named Silvia. She lived next door but when Leopardi goes to Florence she dies and he begins to think that nature isn't so good after all. He likes to travel and visits Milano, Bologna and Florence but he didn't make a lot of money and because of his health problems he always returned to Recanati were he had his parents to attend him. He died in 1837 in Recanati.
