The Nazi party really hit its "stride" when Adolf Hitler became leader. Hitler approved of Drexler's (the Nazi leader before Hitler) nationalism and Anti-Semitic ways but believed the party was unorganized. Hitler's reputation grew, and he became the main speaker of the party. He was the reason people were joining the party. He claimed he was only in favor of pure blood Germans, and thought other races should lost their rights. 1921 was the year that Hitler became leader of the Nazi Party, and that's probably when he turned into an even more corrupt person. Hitler was soon arrested for his deeds and he wrote his "autobiography" Mein Kampf in prison. It was mostly lies written to paint a positive painting of Hitler.

Olympia Snowe was one of the most brilliant women in America. Olympia is a great role model to many young girls. For example, with her election in 1994, Olympia J. Snowe became only the second woman Senator in history to represent Maine. Being a female senator of Maine is a great accomplishment because it was very hard for women to be a senate. Snowe was a very intelligent female senator, and she also was the youngest female senate. Olympia’s intelligence led her to get a re-election for the house of Maine in 1974. And of course in 1976 she got elected to be the senate of Maine again. But, in 1978 she got elected to be in congress as the youngest Republican woman, and the first Greek-American woman, ever elected to Congress. In conclusion, Olympia Snowe is a great influence to many girls, including me.
Diego Rivera believed that people should be able to view his art work without having to buy or go to museums. He started to paint his paintings in large public walls and buildings. His first mural was “The Creation” which he painted in 1922, in the Bolívar Amphitheater at the University of Mexico. His painting was painted in a unique way, using a process where a color mixed with other materials is heated after it is applied. After his first mural he used his historical, social, and politics to show the life in Mexico. In 1923 through 1926 he created frescos on Mexican history. For example, he painted to fight against the Spanish conquerors. His murals led him to the USA where he met his future wife and painted many more murals.

Once Solis starts working and sets the bar for a future goal, she will never give up.

Snowe was a very intelligent female senator, and she also was the youngest female senate. Olympia’s intelligence led her to get a re-election for the house of Maine in 1974. And of course in 1976 she got elected to be the senate of Maine again. But, in 1978 she got elected to be in congress as the youngest Republican woman, and the first Greek-American woman, ever elected to Congress. In conclusion, Olympia Snowe is a great influence to many girls, including me.

Diego Rivera believed that people should be able to view his art work without having to buy or go to museums. He started to paint his paintings in large public walls and buildings. His first mural was “The Creation” which he painted in 1922, in the Bolívar Amphitheater at the University of Mexico. His painting was painted in a unique way, using a process where a color mixed with other materials is heated after it is applied. After his first mural he used his historical, social, and politics to show the life in Mexico. In 1923 through 1926 he created frescos on Mexican history. For example, he painted to fight against the Spanish conquerors. His murals led him to the USA where he met his future wife and painted many more murals.
