The Mysterious Major
What did Schmahling mean when he said that in crushing the boy in his classroom, he was destroying something in himself? What was he destroying? How was it like what the Nazis were destroying in the people they ruled?
He meant that he knows how people can be mean even though they dont mean it. Probably the students will now think of him as a old nasty teacher after destroying the little boys joy. The Nazi's were like this because by crushing the German's free speech, they were destroying the German peoples admiring of them, of course this only happend to those people who where against the nazi's doings.
I like how you made a little compact paragraph about The Major. I alos like how you chose to make the major a good guy but he was just following orders.
