Leni Riefenstahl made the film
Triumph of the Will as a propaganda tool for the Nazi party during the Nuremberg Rally of 1934. Although Riefenstahl denied any wrongdoing, it is said that the film served as an important tool of propaganda for Hitler. It was screened throughout Germany in the years prior to WWII.

However, it has also been described as more of an art film, with dramatic scenes and sweeping views of the rally, and Riefenstahl won a medal for artistry at the World Exposition in Paris in 1937, the same exposition that had Picasso’s Guernica.

Do you think this film is an example of propaganda? Give specific examples and explain your choices. When is a film a weapon of propaganda, and when is it just simply a visual epic? Should Riefenstahl be held accountable for her actions in using Nazi propaganda?

Find a contemporary film made during wartime, is it propaganda or not? Explain your position and give examples from the film.

what "made the difference" for the two wes moore?

Reading Reports. One poem in each day’s reading list is listed in boldface. Write a 1-2 page, single-spaced report on that poem answering the following questions.:
1. Who is the speaker of the poem? Do not assume that the speaker is the poet. The poet often creates a character to speak his or her poem, and even if the poet is speaking in his own voice, that speaker is still a created character.
2. What is the situation? What is happening in the poem? Is the speaker describing or narrating events? Does the poem center on feelings? Is it specific or abstract?
3. What is the tone of the speaker and the poem? Is it serious, comic, ironic, angry, bitter, or some combination?
4. What is the poem’s attitude towards its audience—e.g., the last two stanzas of Wilfred Owens’ “Apologia pro Poemate Meo.”
5. Is the poem’s language straightforward or complex? Are there a lot of complex figures of speech or is the language pretty direct
