200-250 (Sorry for being late)

Dear Mr. Salovaara,
(I just wanted to say that I'm very sorry that this is late. I know there are no excuses, but I still hope you accept this.)

I decided to choose the section about Hitler. I have to say, it was interesting how the Chinese people looked up to Hitler, but also liked the Jewish people as well. It was a little shocking to know that Hitler was admired by the Chinese. Reading this section did have me thinking a lot. I believe that because of their communist views, Hitler was seen as something else, rather than a threat. Now I know I'm not jewish, but I could see why Lindsey was disgusted by this section. I, along with a few other classmates, found this section of the book to be a little different. It was a little difficult for Hessler, along with myself, to understand what Hitler was capable of. Thinking about how the Chinese admired Hitler reminded me of a time when my cousin was dating this man from another country. He believed that Hitler was a good man, not because of what he did to the jews (he 100% disagreed with Hitler on that) but for what he did for my cousin's boyfriend's country. I guess in this world, everyone has a different view on people like Hitler. Some may think they're horrible and some may think they're heroes.
