Gottschall hit a homerun with this chapter with me. One of the things that stood out to me the most was that Hitler liked plays from Wagner. This was a first for me when I found that out. Because I knew that Hitler was trying to become an art master and was kicked out of school for it and later down the road became the leader of Germany. One thing that Gottschall goes on is that he dehumanize Hitler. Anyone in their right mind would agree that Hitler was evil but before he did what he did nobody talks about it. I can understand that but sometimes talking about what they did is not a reason why they did what they did. With reading nonfiction I find it hard sometimes to believe what the person has put in their book because I could be reading another book from someone else and what if they both have different ancers then what. With me being in the military I was able to get for Christmas last year about 4-5 military books that former soldiers written about serving overseas. I found most of the things that they have put in those book to be as real as they could make it without having live rounds fly over your head.   With fiction I can get lost in that all day long.  With the Halo book series that help create the video games that changed a lot of ways video games are played. Even with our fiction movies have done that as well look at Avengers. It takes 4 different movie carters and has them all in a movie fighting to keep our world safe.  Gottschall makes a claim that we can be influenced by stories.  I know that there are times when I am reading a good fiction or nonfiction and it makes me what to go do what they are doing.  For my research project I am still looking but I am hoping to find one that I can use to show that in the history of time stories from former military battles or leaders have caused soldiers to do better.
