Adventure at Sea.

It was a normal day during the summer of 2012. It was also the day my best friend, also called my brother since we've known each other since Kindergarden, Miles had planned our deep sea fishing trip. We met at the marina with all of our things ready to go. "You ready for this?" i asked. "I hope so,hahaha.' replied Miles. I said "Put your things in the cabin and lets get out of here." I put the boat in reverse, turned it around, and we started out for the waters of the channel islands.

Mein Kampf... Hitlers view on the Jews.

BACKGROUND:
Hitler is trying to say that the Jews are bad and saying they're the Anti-Christ. He gets everyone in Germany to believe that if they don't stop they Jews they will take over the world. His argument is that only the white race is important. No one but the white race should hold power and anyone who opposes them should be stopped immediately.

PATHOS:
"With satanic joy in his face, the black-haired Jewish youth lurks in wait for the unsuspecting girl whom he defiles with his blood, thus stealing her from her people" (Hitler P4). Hitler is stating that the Jewish people are like Satan with an evil grin waiting in position for a German girl to walk by and then he snatches her up. He then begins to defile her with his Jewish blood making her shunned by her people. He makes the audience feel scared for their people and themselves wanting to stop the Jews before they can harm the White race. He makes them fell as if he is being sympathetic to them and protective by warning them and preparing them to defend themselves. "It was and it is the Jew who has clear aim of of ruining the hated white race by necessarily resulting bastardization, throwing it down from its cultural and political height, and himself rising to be its master" (Hitler P4). Hitler states that if the white race doesn't take action the Jews are going to push them down by raping their women and children and defiling their race, lowering its political power and allowing the Jews to take over. He is trying to make the white race feel like it's being oppressed by the Jew and therefore making them want to revolt against the Jews so that they will stay on to of the economic and political food chain.

ETHOS:
Hitler's speech is full of lies and degrading things about the Jews. He is not a believable source to me because he was proven wrong and eventually has his reign over Germany stopped. He is not trustworthy because he lies all the time to get his people to believe that they are the best race in the world and the Jews want to stop them from holding power. He isn't trustworthy to me because the Jews aren't trying to stop anyone from doing anything they just want to live their lives in peace without someone butting in and disturbing them, accusing them of untrue things, and things they haven't even done. Hitler also never gave them a chance to defend themselves before he started accusing them and making his people start torturing and killing the Jews for no reason, anyone who does that is not believable or trustworthy to me.
