The scene that was interesting to me was when Dr. Caligari was in this office and the doctors and Francis has enter the room with a body cover in a black blanket over the body. Francis approaches Dr. caligari so he can take a look at who is under the black blanket. As Dr. caligari get close to the body, Francis take the blanket of the body and is Casera dead. Dr. caligari cant believe what he is seeing and drop down to his kneed, then he look at everybody that is surrounding him and look at Casera again. Dr. caligari snaps and try to kill one of the doctor in the room by choking the doctor, all the others doctor stop him from doing this and he tries again to choke the doctor that is in front of him. He dosent seem like picking a specific person to do a harm to, he just seems mad enough to harm who ever is in front of him. As the doctors and Francis see that Dr. caligari has lost his mind they grab him and put a resistances jacket that will stop him from moving or trying to grab anyone with his hand. They take him to a room were he lances down and since he cant move they live hi there.
what i interpreted from this seen was that Dr. caligari when crazy after seeing the only person that always listen to his commends was dead. This means that Dr. caligari wasent expecting to see Casera dead specially after so many years of Dr. caligari protecting Casera specially since Casera was the person who was committing the murders.
I chose this scene because it show how a "normal" person or what people may think is normal only has to have a small event in life or mark that can drive them to go crazy. Sometimes is hard to deal with such things in life that some people are not strong enough to deal with it. I believe this relate to the class because during the WW1 and WW2 Hitler was the most hated man in that time and maybe until this day but as him being a big reason why these WAR WORLD started was because he create this crazy idea that Jewish people needed to die for what ever reason he thought was good enough to kill a human. So it all starts with one person and how their mind can make them do such things.

SIDDHARTHA
"Indeed his soul was not with the trade. The business was good enough to provide him with the money for Kamala, and it earned him much more than he needed. Besides from this, Siddhartha's interest and curiosity was only concerned with the people, whose businesses, crafts, worries, pleasures, and acts of foolishness used to be as alien and distant to him as the moon. However easily he succeeded in talking to all of them, in living with all of them, in learning from all of them, he was still aware that there was something which separated him from them and this separating factor was him being a Samana. He saw mankind going through life in a childlike or animallike manner, which he loved and also despised at the same time. He saw them toiling, saw them suffering, and becoming gray for the sake of things which seemed to him to entirely unworthy of this price, for money, for little pleasures, for being slightly honoured, he saw them scolding and insulting each other, he saw them complaining about pain at which a Samana would only smile, and suffering because of deprivations which a Samana would not feel."
The meaning of this passage is that a person that is new to an environment can adapt to the new environment depending on the person ability to get him/her self involve with people. However a person ability of adapting themselves to a new environment doesn't mean that the person enjoy the experience. A person that has been in a society where everything is "calm" or everything that surround the person is build by a specific system where everything is always the same and having a change of society and environment can make a person view thing in such a dramatic way as if they are a different person because of the change.
This passage is important to me because it show how this "Man" Siddhartha has the ability to get involve with anybody he come across to, he also has the ability of learning without a problem, he has the ability to be care free of certain things like (Money) that a normal person or a person that doesn't have it wouldn't be care free about. Is more interesting in people actions then in how good his life is. He see people as these weird creatures that have so many defection and still manage to survive. He will be able to love them and be despised which made him be more curious about people. Because he would see things that he couldn't feel, thing that he couldn't explain to him self why is this person feeling that or acting like that, thing that were unknown to him. In this world you would say that he doesn't need anything because he already has it all but this also show me that a person can have everything they wanted in life and still have an emptiness in them. That maybe there is something worst then not having anything is not feeling anything.

Expressionism, Dadaism, New Objectivity
Dada Manifesto
Hugo Ball
" How does one achieve eternal bliss? By saying dada. How does one become famous? By saying dada. With a noble gesture and delicate propriety. Till one goes crazy. Till one loses consciousness. how can one get rid of everything that smacks of journalism, worms, everything nice and right, blinkered, moralistic, Europeanized, enervated? By saying Dada"
It seem as if such word (Dada) that had no meaning to some but that was still a word in the dictionary had made such impact in the 19th century. Especially because it was the beginning of World War I, it was one of the best way to show society that true about what was going on in their world. Making people see the ugly side of the real world. Maybe it was the best way to show people what our world was going threw and it probably was the best way because it was a way to caught people eye, their attention. Make them see and think. It was time to show the dark side in an weird but then yet convincing way.

"The peace treaty that ended the war, the Treaty Of Versailles, made it a requirement that Germany had to accept full responsibility for the war, could not produce things for military use, and to pay off the war debts of the other nations".
This quote has a lot to say about Germany, its really stating who was responsible for the horrible, disaster and cruelty of World War I. There are no dough's that Germany was the main reason why so many people die, not only Jewish people but many people from all over the world trying to stop this man from destroying the world. Then again lets not say Germany, because there were many people who didn't agree with his believe however the way it work with him, was either you was with him or against him. The author is saying this because it was the most devastating situation that could of happen to Germany. After this agreement was establish Germany lost everything to such a point that their money was no longer valuable. Their debt was incredibly high, they prices increases and the yet their money was better of burn to stay warm then to purchase anything. The reason why I choice this quote was because to me it was amazing how much damage one man believe can do to the world, also because I believe the best way to destroy a man believe is by taking away all this power. And this agreement was exactly what had done to Hitler, his country was extremely poor, he no longer had an army and couldn't produce military equipment.

"If We Could Undo Psychosis I" Jane Kelly, 2000
Jane Kelly was born May 7, 1956 in Charlton, London. She graduated from Stirling university, in history and fine arts in 1978. She is a journalist and artist, in 1995 she when for Advance Diploma In Painting. Her painting has made controversy in which have made her career not bad, but not so great. The painting " IF WE COULD UNDO PSYCHOSIS 2" about Serial killer Myra Hindley got her dismissed from Daily Mail. The painting didn't seem to be a good idea for many people. She has been to many Arts Gallery, in London and see herself as a Holocaust Painter. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and decided to have a blog about her health.
It ironic how she paints Hitler in front of the Paris tower, because France was one of the nation effect by Hitler cruel vision against the Jewish, that created the Holocaust. To me the painting look like Hitler is loving the fact that his in Paris maybe enjoying the moment at this beautiful place, however that was never the case. Hitler didn't really like anybody, he was one of the most back stabbing person in the world. He would have an alliance with another nation for example Russia, have a great beginning with the nation and then at the end he will betray them. He was never looking out for anybody else other then himself. And this quote that make me think what if Hitler would off never had that crazy idea that because of the Jewish they had bankruptcy. what if he would off been a "NORMAL" man like any other, then who would off done the disaster and horrifying things he did to all those people, because no matter how bad we would like our world to be just good there will also be bad. so if Hitler would off never been the bad guy then who would off taken his place. Because to me that is what she trying to say, what if his psychosis was undone, how will this world be right now. Better or worst.
