TEXT 2

Similar to text 1, goes on about his life in chronological order

Third person point of view, very general when describing his actions

Elaborates more on his childhood and military plans

TEXT 2- FORM

Examines his life from diff erent perspectives

- “Serious errors”, “Brave soldier”

TEXT 2- FUNCTION

Some Trivial happenings in his life- “In 1918, just before the war ended, he was caught in a cloud of gas released by English soldiers and was overcome”

TEXT 2- FEATURES

Text 1 only states that he despised Jews while Text 2 gives more explanations for this hatred (due to his failed quest for fame)

Text 1 describes Hitler’s last days in greater emotion and depth but Text 2 simply jumps to the fact that he committed suicide

This gives us a better idea of how Hitler felt nearing the end of the war and his death

Text 2 is less conscise than Text 1

DIFFERENCES

Hitler’s controversial style of leadership is known for its harsh measures but not how he stabilised Germany and brought glory back to its pride

Disgust of his mass killings, too radical and extreme

But, He was a disciplined leader that managed to gain respect from people

Smart but not trustworthy and scheming
