1924: The Year That Made Hitler
Prompt: List the personality characteristics of the main character (feelings, interests,
behaviors, etc.)
Pages read: 23-60

           From what I've read so far the book is now focusing more on Hitler gaining power. At first he started as a no one and then soon started gaining popularity and followers. Throughout that life changing journey the book describes what Hitler's personality was like. In the book they talked about how determined he was to become popular and he didn't care if people laughed at him all he cared about was if people mention him. It really goes to show that he was determined and didn't want to give up. I learned many things about him I didn't know.

            The book talks about how Hitler on his rise to gaining power. It really shows some of his personality because he seems to be very determined of gaining power. For example, in an event (Munich's Hofbräuhaus beer hall) Hitler and many other people were going to give speeches. Hitler wasn't even mentioned in the party flyers for that event but instead as an unannounced back up speaker. Turns out that the speech he gave captivated a couple hundreds of people in the crowds. In the book he said,"'It makes no difference whatever whether they laugh at us or revile us. The main thing is that they mention us.'" Hitler didn't care if people made fun of him all he wanted was for people to know about him. The speeches he gave made him became popular really quick.

           Throughout the book it shows Hitler's massive interest in politics. Hitler wanted everyone to know about his point of view on politics, he wanted to get his view across the germans. Hitler soon became popular and was the featured speaker everywhere he went. He was so popular that in one of his speeches two thousand listeners interrupted him more than fifty times with applauses. In the book it said,"...Hitler had no other life than politics." It really shows how Hitler's life soon changed and how now everything has to do with politics and his point of view on it. He had nothing else to do in his life besides politics.
