What I see emerging in these patterns and themes is a a continuing comparison between the writer and Hemmler. Both faced many hardships in live even though they were on the opposite sides of the war. I saw the Hemmler was always belittled and talked down to making his childhood extremely difficult. Always having a constant need or desire to impress his father which seemed impossible. Susan Griffin’s childhood was no picnic she experienced hardships more so that were out of her control. The war was something that each of them had a similar interest in because it had different effects on them, their friends, and family.

Hi Nathan! I enjoyed reading your post and seeing what theme you discovered. I feel like you and I looked into similar ideas. I noticed how you focus on Griffin’s multiple comparisons to Hemmler’s life. I find it interesting how you highlighted each time Griffin talked about Hemmler. Highlighting the aspects of his childhood that defined him, that made him the kind of person he was. I think the biggest and most significant thing you included is that although Griffin and Hemmler were on opposite sides of the war, they both experienced hardships. I personally found it easier to understand Griffin’s feelings by her comparing them to Hemmler. What do you think? I would’ve found it interesting if you looked into that as well. What other patterns did you notice? You did a great job on this. I feel like we had very similar views. I look forward to hearing more about your ideas and feelings.

You did a great job on the assignment and at pointing out emerging topics. A pattern I see marked but wasn’t called out would consist of the sections talking about the cells and the nucleus. I found this part interesting and really wondered why Susan included this information.
A point of interest you noted in your blog that would be interesting to explore in your analysis is how they both faced difficulties during the war, how it was different for them, and what was difficult for them.
I agree with the patterns you noticed and what you said. However, I feel Susan didn’t necessarily enjoy war like Himmler did. I feel she was more learning about her father, why he was so secretive, and why she saw the things she did as a child.

Hi Nathan, I liked being able to go through and see what you highlighted and the patterns and themes you found through the text. You stated the patterns and themes you found were hardships. As I looked through your text highlight I could see how it shows that theme and pattern. You also said friends and family are a constant theme. Some highlights I noticed the names Heinrich or Himmler were mentioned they were highlighted. Like I said how you said a theme and pattern were family maybe to talk about that more often.

Hey Nathan, Your analysis of the comparison between the writer and Hemmler highlights their shared struggles despite opposing backgrounds. Both faced profound hardships influenced by family dynamics, with a common interest in the war revealing its impact. exploring more of the pressures and hardships could deepen the understanding of their parallel narratives. Try examining unexpected parallels and contrasting aspects to make the analysis better.
