Telenovelas are over-dramatic tv shows that keep us distracted from the real word and gives us emotions to characters who we feel close to or automatically have a distaste for them, telenovelas are bomb because there are only one season and a million episodes, you don't have to wait several months for another season to come out! One of my all time favorite telenovelas are Maria del Barrio and how it's about a poor girl who has no family but gets a second chance and lives with a family who is rich, but even though the family seems picture perfect they're disfuctional in their own way. Maria who has an explicit voice doesn't take anything for anyone, and that just causes more disruptions the drama the twists and the rollercoaster of emotions happen all in one tv show.

Holocaust literature / Life is Beautiful
Based on Holocaust literature and the movie Life is Beautiful there have been many connection and even though some are dramatized and fake. A connection I made during watching the movie and seeing Poems was there were stripped Pajamas and the stars they had to wear. The German soldiers didn't change either they were strict and rude. The events have quite a few analogies such as the romance we know probably didn't occur. But the Jewish people being treated cruel and had there property ruined.
A few similarities that the characters went through was the gas chambers they were put put in, the trains they stayed in for hours, also the similarity between when they were in the camps and the cruel treatment. But even though the character like the dad he tried to make good outcomings for his son in a bad situation. Like in order for his son to not be scared and traumatized he would make him laugh and pretend that the camp was actually a game, even though everyone else we had lost hope and had fear the tone changes a bit more.
Life is beautiful was shown during when in a serious tone the mother knew that her husband and her child was taken away and she even though German was still going to be with them no matter what the circumstances were and she did persevere , and another example of how beautiful life was even though in a bad situation where as when the father had gotten to a microphone and kept telling his wife how much he loves her and how he and there son will be okay, it really did bring joy to the movie even though the circumstances were bad and they didn't give up on each other because of a major problem the father put a lot of implement during the whole movie was beautiful but these were just a few things that made the movie very beautiful.

Nazi Propaganda
This sign is used for Propaganda what it's title is saying is Legion of Shame and its caption is 'Ignorant, lured by gold, They stand disgraced in Judah's fold. Souls poisoned, blood infected, disaster broods in their wombs.' This was used in 1935 when Adolf hitler was taking over. This was used to manipulate and brainwash Germans or what people thought were the only ones who were worthy of living. They wanted as many people to be with nazis as possible so there army could be strong. People mostly thought that of their government as right so what there government thought some people thought that was correct. This sign was an innovation to try and rid of people who Hitler thought weren't in his perfect people.
