Edited Speech

I'm alarmed!!!! There were too much people who's speech was funny and interesting, and too much people who were too much perfect in speech. I know this because I went to train and practice our speech yesterday, in Chungmoo building in the 1st study period. Actually, I think there is not very much hope that I will win the speech contest, because my enemies are middle school students. I am group 5 of speech contest, and I compete with class 21 to 26, and class 25 and 26 are middle school students. However, I will do my best on Saturday. Tonight, I have to go to auditorium to again train and practice. I think we will do the speech in front of our enemies. I will be verrrrrry nervouss;;; I have to practice to at least I do a good job and think by myself like that after I did my speech in speech contest!! Now, I will write my edited speech.

Hello, everyone.

My name is Na Eun Lee, and today, I will talk about “Adolf Hitler and Charlie Chaplin”. Most of you may not know the relationship and the reason why I am comparing the two of them. However, they were actually born around the same time, because Hitler was born on the 20th of April, 1889, and Chaplin was born on 16th of April of the same year. Even though they lived during the same time and their environment's were similar, they became totally different people and became enemies. This can be mentioned because Charlie Chaplin made a movie that mocked Hitler and was sarcastic in nature. I will talk about Chaplin and Hitler more specifically, but I will first mention about their lives, and then I will discuss my opinion of them.

According to the article named 'Adolf Hitler', and 'Charlie Chaplin' in Navercast, Adolf Hitler and Charles Spencer Chaplin's childhoods were both hard and poor. Chaplin was born to Charles and Hanner Chaplin. Because his parents got a divorce, he lived with his mother and his older brother, Sydney. His mother was not very healthy and went to a mental hospital very often and the brothers lived from the money that the young 8 year old Charlie earned from the stage. He gradually became famous, and became an actor. However, after he became successful, his personal life was not easy. He married 4 times, but with three of his wives, their marriage didn't last very long. However, he lived his life with his fourth wife, Una Onil. Also, he was tormented by the banning of his movie in the United States, and he was also suspected of being a communist from others. And the worst thing that he had to endure was that he was banned from America for 20 years. Really, Charlie Chaplin's life was very hard and had a lot of sadness and torment.

On the other hand, Adolf Hitler was born to a public servant who was his father, and Clara Hitler his mother. He was shocked and tormented by the deaths of his brother and sister. However, the critical points for Hitler were the death of his mother, who he adored and the loss of Germany during World War I. He enlisted in the Bavarian army, and Hitler became braver and braver while serving as a soldier, but he was temporarily blinded by a mustard gas attack. The blindness may have been a result of conversion disorder called "Hysteria".

As I said, Hitler and Chaplin both had hard childhoods. Especially, Chaplin who had a lot of stress and problems while he was an adult, too, and had an unlucky life. Also, they were same in that they each had a something that they were very good at. Chaplin had good acting skills, and Hitler had good political skills. I think that this is may have been a result of the hardships that they had to endure during their childhood. Chaplin did not give up or become angry at society. Nor did he lose his mind until the day he died. But, Hitler became evil in dealing with his demons. These two people really have lots of differences, but they also have similarities. The easiest ones to find are their mustaches and their faces. However, I think that their personalities have no similarities. How could a kind and an evil mind have similarities?

In conclusion, there were two people who will be connected in the future. One grew up and became an infamous dictator, who gave people hardship and tears. Another child grew up and became a legend as an actor and movie director, who gave people happiness. They had similar environments during their childhood, similar hardships and they lived in the same period. They are really famous and infamous people; Adolf Hitler and Charlie Chaplin, men who gave the world tears and joy during a tragic period in history.

This is the end of my speech. Thank you for your time and attention.

I have to encourage myself... Is there someone to encourage me?;;
