Critique On Famous Speaches
... out the aggressive tone in his voice. Quickly Hitler changes from a low soft voice to a almost yelling, as he points and waves his fists. Putting his hands to his heart when talking of his nation and its accomplishments to quickly being thrust from behind his back to above his shoulders in a wave motion halting immediately as his voice booms. Also when Hitler would get excited he would get upon the tips of his toes quickly rising then returning down almost like a little jump, indicative of the energy of his words.

... by Europeans as unprogressive and primitive.

sports, such as hockey, football, and baseball, were becoming all
professional. The sports heroes of the decade were amateurs. They often

These can be divided into two types: craft unions and industrial unions (World, 1998).
