Adolf Hitler

  By Jaden      

                                                                 

“He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future” Adolf Hitler was born in    Braunau am Inn, Austria on April 20, 1889. As a young, child his parents Klara Hitler and Alois Hitler sent him to  boarding schools who’s teachers physical punished him.(2) His father had a very short temper and   took out his anger on Adolf. Hitler was physically abused by his father. Adolf’s dad died, freeing him of his father’s abuse. “Struggle is the father of all things. It is not by the principles of humanity that man lives or is able to preserve himself above the animal world, but solely by means of the most brutal struggle.” Hitler was a very unic person with very exctreme views, greedy for power,  very direct, cruel, and heartless. Hitler used to be a very loving smart person until his younger brother Edmund died of the measles on February second 1900. This deeply afected Hitler. He instently changeden him from being a confedaint outgoing person into a morose detached sullen boy.  (11)He did very poorly in secondary school and withdraw from socializing with his friends.(9)  He was very  interested in wars. When Hitler was 16 he dreamed to become an artist but, when he applied to the school of fine arts they did not except him.(2)

     

        As a young adult he joined the German army. They assigned him to be a message runner in World War 1.(1) After being blinded by a gas attack in Flanders the army award him with a Iron Cross 2nd Class and was promoted from private to corporal.(1) Hitler stayed in the army and was promoted to the Intelligence division. He was then assigned to spy on other army radicle parties that the Germans thought were a threat to them. (1)In 19019 he joined the Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP/NAZI). He became the leader of the Nazi one year later.(1)

   Hitler then he was appointed Chancellor in January 1933. When Paul Hindenburg died Hitler became president and aggressively started invading countries.  On September 1939 Hitler  ordered the invasion on Poland. England and France then declared war on Germany.

         In 1933, Hitler established 1,200 concentration camps. Hitler didn’t like many different groups of people including the Polish, Catholics, Serbs, Jews , and handicapped people. Hitler hated the Jewish people he considered them less than human. `He believed in Darwinism which, he wanted to populate with a superior race. Jews and other victims were sent to the camps to be held prisoners. In these camps, there was forced labor, brutal mistreatment, hunger, disease, and random executions. (1)(10)Once the world saw pictures of dead bodies of all ages, filmings of thousands of people being executed, they were horrified. About 500,000 and perhaps as many as over three-quarters of a million died in concentration camps, including six million Jewish people and one million Jewish children were murdered.(1)

"Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky. Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith forever. Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.

         

      The British bombed Germany which brought the war into their own country.(7) The Allies attacked Germany on June 6, 1944 and this day is often called D/day. Thousands of Us troops battled and the German finally surrendered on May 7, 1945. In Germany, Adolf Hitler was sent to prison with his wife Eva Bruan for five years for leading the Nazis’ unsuccessful “Beer Hall Putsch” in the German state of Bavaria.(7) When he was in jail he made a promise to his small army. “When my last soldier falls I will shoot myself.” On April 30, 1945 Hitler’s bodyguard Rochus Misch heard the gunshot in hitler’s bunk room. He ran to the bunk room opened the door and found Hitler and his wife dead on the sofa.(3)

Adolf Hitler was one of the most powerful and horrible man known in history. Also if you think about it, what would happen if the School Of Arts accepted him, and if his parents loved him? Would he still be the horrible man the world knows?

Marilyn Monroe

“‘I am good, but not an angel.  I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love’” (1). Marilyn Monroe, model, actress, singer and one of the most famous women of the twentieth century.  Marilyn was born and baptised as Norma Jeane Baker, on June 1st 1926.  Monroe had a difficult childhood, she spent most of her time in foster homes and orphanages (2). She never knew who her father was, she only met her half-sister a handful of times and her mother developed psychiatric problems and was hospitalized eventually being put into a mental institution. How could a girl with no family be so successful?

Marilyn’s mother never wanted to own her, and shortly after her mother was hospitalized, Marilyn left her home and went into the foster care system. For a short time, Grace, a family friend took Marilyn in and cared for her, but when Grace’s husband had to move up the east coast for his job, Marilyn was left behind (2).  Having nowhere to go she returned to life in foster homes.  For nine years Marilyn was abused in many ways, but she found out that the only way to escape was to get married.  At the age of 16 she married her boyfriend Jimmy Dougherty, but being a merchant marine Jimmy was sent to the South Pacific (6).  Marilyn went to work in a munitions factory in Burbank where she was discovered by a photographer who was passing through town (6).  That photographer took one look at Marilyn, and saw she was a beautiful, hard working girl and knew she would be a perfect model.  This was a dream come true for Marilyn, who always wanted to be a model/actor.  Monroe had a successful career as a model in 1946, and that was around the time that she changed her name officially to Marilyn Monroe (previously Norma Jeane Baker).  She did this to prep for her acting career.

In 1946 after Marilyn’s divorce with Dougherty she signed her first movie contract. Sadly her acting career didn’t launch until 1950 when she played a small part in The Asphalt Jungle (3).  That same year she impressed audiences with her part in All About Eve (3).  Later Marilyn starred in five more films which helped her to receive various honors and attracting large audiences.  Monroe became an international star but soon grew tired of dumb blonde roles, so she moved to New York where she returned to the screen in a comedy film.  Later she earned the honor of “Best Actress in Comedy” at the 1959 Golden Globe awards (2).  In 1961 Marilyn starred in The Misfits, her last completed film, and in 1962 she was dismissed from filming Something’s Got To Give (2).  The reason for this is because Monroe suffered from pre-performance anxiety.  This made her incredibly ill, making her late to shows and making her miss some filming days altogether.  This was, sadly, the reason for the end of Marilyn Monroe’s acting career.                       

On August 5, 1962, at age 36, Marilyn Monroe died in her home in Los Angeles (6).  There are many rumors on to how and why she died, the most common being, suicide, murder, or a drug overdose but no one knows exactly what happened (2).  During her career, Marilyn’s films received over $200 million.  Today she is still considered the world’s most popular icon of beauty, and she is remembered for her sense of humor and wit (2).  Marilyn Monroe has been imitated by many celebrities including Madonna, Lady GaGa, and Gwen Stefani, and has also been portrayed in a few films.  More than twenty books have been published about her; one being a book on rarely seen photographs of Marilyn, taken by famous photographer, Sam Shaw (2).  It is surprising to think that, now, more than half a century later, the world is still fascinated by her beauty and talent.  

Even though Marilyn Monroe’s life was short she accomplished many things.  Including, starring in over 30 films, attracting large audiences, and modeling for many magazines and newspapers.  Her life showed a broken girl rising to be one of the most famous women of the twentieth century.  She was talked about then, now, and will be talked about generations to come.  “Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”

The Life of Walt Disney

By, Lauren Burns

    “You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.”(6) On December 5, 1901, a star was born, Walt Disney. (1)  Even at a young age Walt had always been interested in drawing and art. (2) Farm life was a bit boring so Walt would scurry over to his neighbor’s farm and draw pictures of their horses, but he drew them like cartoons.(7) In high school Walt took many drawing classes and photography.(1)

Drawing didn’t clinch it for Walt; he decided to drop out of high school and enlist in the army.(7) Unfortunately, Walt was underage so the army kicked him out. What a sad day, but then things looked up for him!(1) Instead, Walt worked for the Red Cross and was sent to France to drive an ambulance. (7) Bored with this, he started working for Kansas City Film Ad Company; there he met a man named Fred Harman.(1)

Fred and Walt  decided to start a cartoon called Laugh-O-Grams which turned out to be extremely popular.(1) Sadly, like all good things, it had to come to an end. Walt had gotten into so much debt that he had to sell the studio.(1)

Still interested in cartoons, Disney pooled his money with his brother Roy and they left to Hollywood.(5) They created a television show called Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and contracted about $1,500 each.(1) While working on Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Walt hired a girl named Lillian Bands. He later married her.(5) Lillian and Walt had two girls named Diane and Sharon.(8)

However the glory days of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit soon ended; one of Walt’s employees stole the rights for Oswald.(3) But thankfully, Walt had a backup plan. He had been working on a new character. You probably know him, Mickey Mouse! Very soon after, Walt starred Mickey in a show called Steamboat Willie. In fact, Mickey Mouse was so popular that Walt created a Mickey Mouse Club show which became very popular.(3)

Then it happened, Walt made his first full-length movie; Snow White! When Snow White first debuted, it won eight million dollars and to the present day it has won 1,499 million dollars and eight oscars!(2)(1) After Snow White debuted, Walt created another show called Dumbo; which was also extremely popular.(2)

    Walt Disney also did a lot more than make movies. Walt  helped establish California Institute of Arts.(2) Another one of Walt’s great interests were theme parks. So, the Walt Disney Company decided to make a theme park!(7)  Therefore Disneyland was born. Disneyland is located in several places including Tokyo, Paris, Hong Kong, and California.(5)  Each one of those places are extremely fun and a main attraction.

    Walt Disney died on December 15, 1966 in California from lung cancer.(1) By the time Disney died, he had 493 short subjects, 47 live action films,  330 hours of Mickey Mouse Club, and 280 other television shows.(5) As you can see Disney had his ups and downs in life, but he persevered. He changed life as we know it, without him the world would be a much different place. “ When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.”(6)

Walt Disney

By Alyssa Weil

    “Laughter is timeless; imagination has no age; and dreams are forever.” Walt Disney was born in Hermosa, Illinois on December 5, 1901.(1) In his lifetime, he originated and directed 12 classic movies, won 22 Academy Awards, established two well known amusement parks; Disneyland and Disney World, and inspired millions of people.

    Even at a young age, Disney had a strong creativity pallet, and put it to use in drawings, photography, and cartoons. He would spend most of his time doodling instead of doing his schoolwork, so at age 19, he enlisted in the army to put him to work, but was underage so he was kicked out. (1) Disney soon found a job at a cartoon company which was where his whole career took off.(1) There he created his own tv show, “Laugh-o-Grams”, which was a big hit, but unfortunately, the small company was shut down because of financial debt.(2) Disney did not let this get in his way, so he and his brother, Roy, formed his own Disney Studios, and they created short animated cartoons, movies, and the still famous character, Mickey Mouse. “I hope we never lose sight of one thing; it was all started by a mouse” -Disney. (6)

    Disney’s first movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was released in 1938, and was the biggest hit of the year. (4) After this movie was produced, Disney became one of the most renowned names around since Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was the first ever full-length animated movie. (4) This was a huge accomplishment for Disney, and he was motivated to create more films, which included Cinderella, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, Treasure Island, Sleeping Beauty, and 101 Dalmations. The total of Academy Awards Disney’s movies won holds the all time record, as he was nominated 59 times and won 22 of them. (5)

    One of Disney’s best ideas was to create a theme park that has rides inspired by his movies and cartoons. The $17 million amusement park (Disneyland) was constructed in Anaheim, California in the year 1955. (2) Rides, special events, and more were featured at Disneyland, and were all based on his own characters. However, the theme park opening day didn’t turn out as he wanted, because food and water ran out, the restrooms didn’t work, and some of the most attracting rides broke down.(1) Disney and his staff quickly bounced back, and pretty soon, Disneyland was given the name “The Happiest Place on Earth.”  "You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality," -Disney. (7) Since Disneyland was such a big hit, Walt wanted to expand his park and began the construction for another location. DisneyWorld is located in Bay Lake, Florida and is a lot like Disneyland, but contains more complex rides and is much larger. (2) Today, there are six Disney parks which are in Tokyo, Hawaii, China, Paris, and California and Florida.

    Everything comes to an end, and Disney passed away from lung cancer December 16, 1955. To this day his products, movies, and theme parks are very popular, and will live on for centuries. (1) “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. It's kind of fun to do the impossible. The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing”-Disney. (7) A few setbacks in his early career didn’t give him second thoughts about pursuing his ambition; and you should do the same.
