    Firstly, Italy’s government was deteriorating and so it was evident that communist Italy was a failure. Mussolini had led the Italian population to believe that he and his fascist party were their only hope into putting an end to the chaos in Rome, and re-establish order and bring about the once great Italy, just as Caesar had in the time of the great Romans. This was appealing to the Italian people, as the city or Rome seemed to have fallen into ruins, taking advantage of this, Mussolini had conveyed himself as their saviour. Fascist ideology stressed the importance of the heroic leader and strong government. This was in contrast to the weaknesses of Liberal Italy, characterised by the failure to provide strong and stable government and so Italian people found it easier to give praise to a person rather than a concept, and Fascism seemed to embody elements of both left and right wing policies. He used powerful slogans such as “Mussolini is always right, believe, obey, fight.”…

    The perception of life through someone else’s eyes can alter one’s appreciation toward that particular lifestyle. Culture is perceived differently depending on the type of environment in which we grow accustomed to. It can also range from the type of location in which we live in. For instance, someone living in a different state would have a different perception of the way we do things compared to their ways. In the essay “Bumping into Mr. Ravioli,” by Adam Gopnik, the view on life is seen differently when viewed in Gopnik’s perception. However, this perception of life changes when viewed in a different point of view. Gopnik’s perception of life through the eyes of his daughter leads him to understanding and experience an unfamiliar type of lifestyle in which he is not accustomed to. As he begins to recognize and experience this new type of atmosphere, Gopnik starts to appreciate the New York experience and understands the type of lifestyle that he must adapt to in order to live in New York.

    The novel “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin” is set during the Second World War on the Greek island of Cephalonia. From the Romans to the Turks to the British, countless suppressors had controlled the remote village. The island has a continuous change of control, nevertheless the resilient residences have maintained a strong sense of national identify and is. It is because of the numerous invasions that the people of Cephalonia’s community are determined to preserve their pride throughout the Italian and German occupation. When the enemy troops arrived on the island, they were met with reserved resistance from the locals. The “quiet, resolute dignity of the islanders” (pg. 753) allowed both the Italian invaders and the Greeks to see each other not as faceless opposers, but as human beings. Nowhere else in Europe was the war so present in the everyday lives of civilians, yet so far from the front of their minds. In no other town would the Axis artillery march through the streets and make funny faces at Greek girls while theatrically blowing kisses their way. The island’s geographic isolation allowed the soldiers and the townsfolk to symbiotically co-exist, and for young love to blossom between the Mediterranean Romeo and Juliet.…
