Mrs. Wertz-O‚ I do hope that you took the time to enjoy my genre recreation project. The idea was a very spur of the moment decision‚ and came to me quite suddenly in the middle of Michael’s craft store. My original thought was to create a scrapbook of a certain characters’ life‚ and make a sort of collage of events surrounding them. Alex Galvin took me to Michael’s the Monday before the project was due‚ and I spent hours (or so Alex feels) looking around the craft sections at all the different

The books Maus I and Maus II are biographical comic books written and illustrated by Art Spiegelman. In these books Spiegelman tells his father’s story of survival through the horrors of the Holocaust. Spiegelman simultaneously presents an inner story of the conflict between him and his father‚ Vladek Spiegelman as both he and his father try to come to terms with the past‚ and work to have a normal life.

their ancestors. For Art Spiegelman‚ author of Maus‚ this was the struggle. Growing up with survivor parents exposed him to the presence and absence of the Holocaust in his daily life‚ causing confusion and great amounts of self-imposed guilt and blame. This havoc led to an underdeveloped identity early on—a lost and prohibited childhood‚ a murdered one. The effect of having survivor parents was evident in Art’s search for his identity throughout Maus‚ from the memories of his parent’s past and through

In his graphic novels‚ MAUS I and MAUS II‚ Art Spiegelman provides his view as a second generation witness. He is a part of the generation that will transmit Holocaust stories to future generations. He is a witness to the Holocaust in terms of how it affected the survivors but he didn’t live through that experience himself. This is the concept of post-memory‚ which allows for Spigelman to take up the memories of the survivor generation and transmit them to future generations. Spiegelman comments

A Game of Cat and Maus Maus and Maus II are both very powerful and moving graphic novels. Both of which discuss one of the worst tragedies known to mankind. Spielgelman used the graphic novel form because it came natural to him‚ however he probably also used it as a way to get a larger audience and to make the subject matter a little less intimidating. However‚ Spielgelman’s use of animals to represent the different races helps the reader better understand the situation in a somewhat entertaining

Major: Finnish Year: 3rd Maus- The Hunter and The Hunted Art Spiegelman’s “Maus” is a graphic novel which speaks about the Holocaust‚ its aftermath and its effect on the next generation. It is written like a memoir‚ as Vladek Spiegelman tell his son‚ Art‚ about the Holocaust and how it affected his life. It is a frame‚ and the action moves back and forth between past and present‚ yet follows a narrative trail‚ as the moments that Vladek speaks about are arranged in chronological

MAUS I/II The Holocaust was the most heinous tragedy of all time. In Art Spiegelman’s Maus I and Maus II‚ it is been explain this massacre through (of all platforms) a comic book. In Spiegelman’s book‚ his portrait of The Jews as mice and The Nazi as cats is precisely how the Jews were treated‚ like animals whose lives were without much value. Using the Maus I/II‚ I will identify five of the Nazi Holocaust Stages. 1. Life Before the Nazi’s: • Vladek born in Poland on October 11‚ 1906. And as

E1H Maus and Life Is Beautiful Comparison The Holocaust was a persecution and murder of approximately sixmillion Jews by the German Nazi regime. The Nazis came to power in January of 1933. They believed that Germans were racially superior and that the Jews were inferior threats to their community. The Holocaust is a tragic event and has been portrayed in many books and movies as that but there are two particular tales of the Holocaust that illustrate it differently.

It was a very interesting read of both the stories I have chosen. In this essay I have chosen to compare Art Spiegelman’s From Maus and Trifles by Susan Glaspell because even when they have many things differently‚ I have found some things in common. Their way of writing is different‚ they way they tell their story is different but their passion into the story and the concept of the stories I have found them to have something in common. It is safe to say that the way Spiegelman wrote this story

Spiegelman’s Maus II is a graphic novel and I believe Spiegelman chose this format because it is the only way to discuss the Holocaust while simultaneously conveying the impossibility of doing such a task. The Holocaust was such a horrific event that there is no way of truly representing it. Spiegelman realized that everything is a representation. He also realized that representing every aspect of the Holocaust was something that simply cannot be done. It is impossible to capture something free of
