During this war he had breathed deeply the air of those places and he trampled on the poisoned lands of nanoparticles. That poison entered in his body, slowly but inexorably. It attacked his powerful physique. Soon arrived the first symptoms and after a short time, the discovery of the tumor. A type of tumor that has a terrible and unpronounceable name: glioblastoma multiforme grade IV. It had made his life impossible. He stayed in a bed waiting for death. The war in Kosovo was a part of his fight. His greatest war was the fight for his life. Luciano passed the rest of his life in hospital. It swung like a parcel from one hospital to another. Doctors gave to him the same diagnosis. In particulary a poor prognosis, it means that there are not people healed from a similar illness. There are those who survive a few years, those leaving early. Doctor gave to Luciano six months of life. His family did not give up. They went to Germany with the hope to find the best care.

    Firstly, Italy’s government was deteriorating and so it was evident that communist Italy was a failure. Mussolini had led the Italian population to believe that he and his fascist party were their only hope into putting an end to the chaos in Rome, and re-establish order and bring about the once great Italy, just as Caesar had in the time of the great Romans. This was appealing to the Italian people, as the city or Rome seemed to have fallen into ruins, taking advantage of this, Mussolini had conveyed himself as their saviour. Fascist ideology stressed the importance of the heroic leader and strong government. This was in contrast to the weaknesses of Liberal Italy, characterised by the failure to provide strong and stable government and so Italian people found it easier to give praise to a person rather than a concept, and Fascism seemed to embody elements of both left and right wing policies. He used powerful slogans such as “Mussolini is always right, believe, obey, fight.”…

    After the First World War countries throughout Europe were left to repair themselves from the damages done by the war. Societies were ruined, citizens killed, cities destroyed, and economies collapsed. It seems like although the allies managed to win the war, there was no real winner. Everyone who was involved in World War I had to experience the chaos that it invoked. One of the many countries that took a large hit from the war was Italy. Unfortunately Italy experienced a large post war economic crisis. The country had a scarcity of raw materials, disrupted international trade, and ended the wartime system of allied cooperation. If that wasn’t enough, Italy faced even more problems with industrial demobilization. There was a budget deficit, inflation was through the roof, and unemployment was higher than ever. Italy also went through a post war political crisis. These problems started with the introduction of proportional representation in 1919. Proportional representation is a voting system used to elect a council or national assembly. Each party receives a number of seats in the council proportionate to the number of votes they received. This new system destroyed prewar political balance in Italy. It also weakened the power of the Liberal Party and caused a growth of the Socialists and Catholics in Italy. Overall proportional intensified the political conflict in Italy and made it much harder for political alliances to occur. It was the political and economic crisis that caused Italy to experience the “Red Years.” From 1919-1920 Italy was bombarded with large-scale strikes over working conditions and wages. Also, peasant leagues and Agrarian Unions challenged the control of large landowners. Italian elites and middle classes started to fear a widespread working class revolution, as the Socialist Party gained 2 million votes and 156 seats in parliament.…

    The novel “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin” is set during the Second World War on the Greek island of Cephalonia. From the Romans to the Turks to the British, countless suppressors had controlled the remote village. The island has a continuous change of control, nevertheless the resilient residences have maintained a strong sense of national identify and is. It is because of the numerous invasions that the people of Cephalonia’s community are determined to preserve their pride throughout the Italian and German occupation. When the enemy troops arrived on the island, they were met with reserved resistance from the locals. The “quiet, resolute dignity of the islanders” (pg. 753) allowed both the Italian invaders and the Greeks to see each other not as faceless opposers, but as human beings. Nowhere else in Europe was the war so present in the everyday lives of civilians, yet so far from the front of their minds. In no other town would the Axis artillery march through the streets and make funny faces at Greek girls while theatrically blowing kisses their way. The island’s geographic isolation allowed the soldiers and the townsfolk to symbiotically co-exist, and for young love to blossom between the Mediterranean Romeo and Juliet.…

    The perception of life through someone else’s eyes can alter one’s appreciation toward that particular lifestyle. Culture is perceived differently depending on the type of environment in which we grow accustomed to. It can also range from the type of location in which we live in. For instance, someone living in a different state would have a different perception of the way we do things compared to their ways. In the essay “Bumping into Mr. Ravioli,” by Adam Gopnik, the view on life is seen differently when viewed in Gopnik’s perception. However, this perception of life changes when viewed in a different point of view. Gopnik’s perception of life through the eyes of his daughter leads him to understanding and experience an unfamiliar type of lifestyle in which he is not accustomed to. As he begins to recognize and experience this new type of atmosphere, Gopnik starts to appreciate the New York experience and understands the type of lifestyle that he must adapt to in order to live in New York. Viewing life through someone else’s eyes can ultimately change the perception of someone to appreciate and accept the type of lifestyle that must be accustomed to living in that particular environment.…
