16. This video perfectly captures how Germans felt when the Berlin Wall fell

Twenty five years ago in Europe the 87 mile-long ribbon that divided the Soviet Union from the Rest of the free world crumble under the cheers of gleeful Germans. In theory it was erected to protect the fascist from the anti-fascist is West Germany. However it true purpose was to keep the east side of Europe under the rule of the soviets, hence the nickname “Iron Curtain”. This joyous moment is hard to put into word, realizing this the article presented a video that encompassed the milestone in history. The video is a news report done on the day when the wall fell. It shows how the Germans essentially kept pushing their freedom. First approaching the wall, then climbing it, then dancing around it, and finally trying to tear it down. The video essentially gave a glimpse into the joyous day when the looming symbol fell to the ground, as demonstrated by the cheers whenever someone climbed the wall and stood on top of it.     

The tone of the author in the article is somewhat formal. After all the topic is an infamous event with a happy ending that holds immense emotional links too many crowds across the world. However, it also has a cheerful tone. As if; “Rejoice the wall was torn down! 25 years ago.”  The video, of course is a refreshing take on the over-covered history subject of communism and like the article states shows how people reacted to the demise of the wall. Altogether a happy reminder of a event taken place 25 years ago.                          http://www.salon.com/2014/11/09/this_video_perfectly_captures_how_germans_felt_when_the_berlin_wall_fell_in_1989_partner/
