Becoming Adolf by Rich Cohen is about the combinations of a famous mustache brought into the modern world. The history and the experiences that the author describes about a particular mustache cut that made its way thoughout history. The author becomes infacuated with this so much that he ties his own experiences with the symbolic ones of history.

Well the author used his research very well to tell his story. It was almost like Mr. Cohen was there during these events during his these historical times. Mr. Cohen can recount almost perfectly the important aspects of the mustaches throughout history. He really focuses on Adolf Hitlers mustache the most. He is fond about how the mustache is shaped, formed and well kept. Mr. Cohen describes how the mustache would shape a person personality. He also described that Hitler was very vain when it came to his mustache appereance during the wars of his time period. To me, the mustache shaped the person around it.

Mr. Cohen learned that through his own personal mustache adventure, he found out that no matter how people see you, they will still have an opinion about you and your appereance whether if it is good or bad. He grew his mustache thinking about what would it be like to be like a figure from history.
