Neutral Tones by Thomas Hardy (1867) Neutral Tones BY THOMAS HARDY We stood by a pond that winter day‚ And the sun was white‚ as though chidden of God‚ And a few leaves lay on the starving sod; – They had fallen from an ash‚ and were gray. Your eyes on me were as eyes that rove Over tedious riddles of years ago; And some words played between us to and fro On which lost the more by our love.

Nazi Propaganda and the 1936 Olympics The 1936 Olympics was Germany’s chance to show the world they were a stable and peaceful nation. Germany had been awarded the right to host the Games in 1931 before the Third Reich had come to power. When Hitler assumed power in 1933 he quickly realized the great potential for Nazi propaganda.

about it. I was especially interested in the role that Nazi propaganda films played in the building and maintenance of power before and after Hitler took power. But the thing that I find most interesting about the Frankfurt School is their focus not just in the explicit propaganda films‚ but also the popular blockbusters and crowd pleasers of Weimar era Germany.

Yes‚ I agree that the worst problem Singaporeans faced during the Japanese occupation was living in constant fear of the Japanese rather than Japanese propaganda. The Japanese had claimed that they were liberating Southeast Asia from colonialism‚ but in reality they were far harsher rulers than the British ever were. In addition to civilian casualties‚ many cruel acts were committed by Japanese troops‚ particularly by the Kempeitai. The Kempetai were the Japanese police. Commoners were made to
