The Hangman response by Danny G.

The Hangman poem reminded me of Hitler because the Hangman was killing all different races and different types of people for no reason, which is exactly what Hitler. There is also a big moral to the poem that I didn't understand at first but then it made a lot more sense. The moral is, is that if you think you are doing nothing at all, you are still doing everything by doing nothing. What I mean by that, is that in the poem the Hangman was killing people, and everyone was watching but not doing anything to stop him. They all thought that they were doing nothing by watching him and not acting. But since they were not stopping him, they were then doing him a favour by not stopping it, which was doing something.

I also felt like the hangman was hitler because no one had the corage to stand up him, another thing I found was that the hangman was saying that he was killing inocent people beacuse they did something but hitler did the same thing he said "The problem of the German economics is because of the JEWS!!! In the end the bystanders were harmed in Germany from the war samething in the hangman the bystander was killed because he didn't do anything.
