Final Essay

In the 1930's Germany did not really have a set government and that is how Hitler came to power over Germany. He started the Nazis and they started to defeat the people in the government of Germany. They started to gain more and more power after time and then they made a big move and took over the government and when people tried to stop them they would kill them so no one did anything.

When they got the power they became a racist group and they were against all the Jewish people so they started these camps where they would send any Jewish person to and they would be tortured and beaten if they fought. After a while the camps because used for everyone the Nazis didn't like and it became a big thing in the world. Thousands of people were being killed all the time.

The German people did not try to take over the power that Hitler had because they knew he would kill anyone against him and that is what they were doing against the Jewish people. The holocaust became a big murdering streak and Hitler kill thousands and thousands of people. If they would of tried to take over Hitler then they would be put into a camp and most likely killed.

Plymouth Maine

Plymouth Maine is located in the southwest part of Penobscot county. There are around 1300 people in this little town of only 31 square miles. There many towns around Plymouth that many people travel to every day. Some of those towns would be Newport which is one of the busiest around and there are others like Etna, Dixmont, and Detroit.
This is one of the towns where everyone is friendly with other people. Everyone knows there neighbors in this town. It is very different then in a city because of these things. When me and my dad had moved here from Brewer Maine we did not know anyone around here but it did not take long for us to meet people. We know all the people that live on our road and it is a very good town to live in if you like it quite and friendly.
This town has changed a lot since it was first founded. It was originally more of a farming town and now it is more of a community of people. It is a town where people mostly like to relax but it is a great town to do bike riding in or you could go to the Plymouth Pond and go boating or fishing.
In this town most of the people that live here are middle aged people around there 30’s and 40’s and a lot of these people have kids.
This is a great town if you like to go snowmobiling or four wheeling also. There are trails all around and also there are trails to get into Newport also. From Newport you can go several different places and that’s a big reason people go four wheeling and snowmobiling in Plymouth.
The towns that surround Plymouth are a very big help to the people in this town. Newport is a much bigger town the boarders Plymouth and that is where the people of Plymouth can go to get groceries or go out to eat. There are several different places to shop or eat. Bangor is another place that is not to far from Plymouth. It is about 20 miles away and it is a very good place that people can go shopping at for clothes and other things you don’t normally buy in Newport. Bangor is a place where kids from Plymouth like to go to hang out or go shopping for things.
One of the most traveled to places in Plymouth is the Plymouth store. The Plymouth store has been around since the 1800’s and it is a big help to the town. It is a place where people go to get some types of food and get gas for their cars and other things. There is a café that has opened up inside the Plymouth store and that’s a place where people can go eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This is a store that makes a ton of money because it is pretty much the only store in Plymouth that has gas at it and it is also located in a very populated and traveled area of town. This is also a good store in town because the prices are very accurate they do not charge to much for things like most stores will do to people.
The Plymouth pond is a very busy place in the summer. People go there and they can fish or just go boating and tubing. It is a very big spot where kids like to go hangout by the water and some people will swim. People also like having houses by water and this is a good spot to have a house because it is a nice spot in the summer time and there is also very good shade on the shore. This is a very busy place because it is on a busy road. The ponds in Plymouth attract many tourists and vacationers and also fisherman.

This town has changed a lot since it was first founded. It was more of a farming place before and it has made a big change. There are fewer farms around and more houses. There are very friendly people that live in this community and that’s why my dad had moved here to Plymouth. It is a very laid back and relaxed place to live and not much goes on around here. It is so much different from a city where people don’t know many other people around where they live. Mostly every neighbor knows each other and talks every now and then. In the city people aren’t as forward as they are in a town. In Plymouth people will come right out and talk to you they won’t just stand there and say nothing.
There are many opportunities to do outside things in the town of Plymouth. There are snowmobile trails and four wheeler trails all around and you can go a lot of places if you get on them. The store is a place where you can get the gas for your sled or four wheeler and it makes a lot of money of that. Boating is another thing people come to Plymouth and do on there vacation. They like to go out on the ponds and go for a ride in the summer and stop to catch something to eat or just to fish and throw
them back.

Exam 5 Essay.

Mao became leader of China after a lot of work. He was first recognized as a soldier of China and he was a very good one. He became a part of the communist party and he became one of the leaders along with another person. He formed the red army and defeted the other leaders army and became the leader of the communist party and said he was now the leader of China. When he was leader he did not care much about the people and he gave out a red book that was like a rule book for China. Stalin was similar to Mao because he didn't care much about his people he was more about himself. He said that he was leader forever until his death just like Mao had said in China.

Hitler came to power kind of like Mao. He had scared people saying he had all the power and no one tried to stop him because he did have most of it. Mao came to power by defeating another army but Hitler did it by scareing people and after a while he just said he had all power over the people and they can't do anything so they didn't and when he had power he didn't care about people he just wanted to take over the world.

The most common thing that happens when your building dictatorship is that people forget about everyone and the people of the country. They just want to take over the world and have all the power they want. They use the poor people as there army's and let the wealthy people live. They all have ended up getting the power over there countries and once they do that they say they have it for life and no one can stop them because they would most likely kill them if they try to.
