Geography


Geography

My stories geography takes place in and around the Black Forest. The reason that the Black Forest is so important is becaause when Warren Carters plane crashes and John Anderson saves him they take hiding in the black forest and they walk in the forest for weeks while hiding so the German army doesn't find them. The Black Forest is in southwestern Germany. The highest peak is Feldberg with an elevation of 4,898 Ft. the Black Forest region is practically square it is 120 miles long and 37 miles wide. The whole region is 4,600 square miles. There is a type of giant earth worm in the Black Forest called a Lumbricus badensis this only is found in the black forest region.

Mood

Mood

The mood I am going to make is suspense. In the first part of my story I am going to make suspense is by having John Anderson one of my main characters getting lost and separated from his troops and can’t find his way.

In the second part of the story John Anderson will see a plane crash he will run over to help and he sees that it is another U.S. soldier and he saves him it turns out the man is Warren R. Carter they head to the black forest for protection from the enemies planes. After he gets out of the forest he is captured by Adolf Hitler my last main character.

Adolf Hitler Bio


Adolf Hitler is the antagonist of my story. He was born on the 20th of April in 1889 in Austria. He was born in a very small town called Braneu. Braneu was right on the border of Germany. Most of Adolf’s teachers were German nationalists which influenced Hitler a lot. Hitler was the top of his class until when he went to secondary school when he learned he wasn’t top of his class he decided to stop trying which led to him dropping out of secondary school. Hitler wanted to be a artist and his father quickly shut that down. Later in his life after his mother and father died and after WWI he joined the NSDAP (National Socialist German Workers Party) or the Nazi party. He joined the Nazi party in 1920 and was the ruler of the Nazi party in 1921. Hitler became a dictator of Germany by enforcing nationalism, anti-Semitism, anti-communism, charismatic oratory, and propaganda. He died on April 30th 1945 hours after he got married to Eva Braun he and his wife died. Most speculation says he and his wife committed suicide.
