Whats happened

    
I'm reading a nonfiction book called “in the garden of the beasts" by Erik Larson

This book takes place during the 1930's so far. The two views we read threw are the views of William E. Dodd, the ambassador of the United States to Germany. He brings his family with including his daughter Martha. With these two different points of view you see different styles of narrative.

You read of how Martha describes people more vividly than Mr. Dodd on page 120 she describes Boris with "he had an unusual mouth and upper lips." it is an odd thing to notice in a person. While with Mr. Dodd you see more talk of character and less of their looks, you see this on page 158 which his when he meets Hitler. You get no discretion of his face but you get more of his character feel from his view.

                Also in the way that they write their figures of speech you see different tones from the two main points of few.  In Martha’s writing she uses a lot more metaphors and similes, while Mr. Dodd who before becoming an ambassador was a collage professor favors more the Allison style. An example of this Allison would be on page 157 where Dodd is visiting Hitler and compares how the SS men raise their hands to “Caesar Style”.

The book so far has been very good. To me it has opened my eyes a little more to the lead up of world war two in Europe.
