GOOD NITE!!!! :)

Maus by Art Spiegelman is a very interesting, graphic, and EYE opening book. The way Spiegelman presents this book is in a very unique and different manner than any other books..... COMETIC BOOK? At first when I started reading this book I didn’t expect it to be good but just an average comic book. After reading a few pages I was hooked and reading away! When I first saw this book, my first expression was it’s a comic book, J second it is short, I didn’t realize or think how this book can change my point of view and the way I looked at the holocaust. Discussing Maus in class helped me understand this book and give me ideas that I never have thought of…. For example… RATS->CATS->DOGS… when we started to talk about this it gave me some very good ideas that I could write my essay on. Discussing this book in class also helped me with some ideas. For example, when we talked about the idea that Art is annoyed and sick of his father sprung upon some ideas. Those ideas included that Art was one of many reasons why his father acts the way he does. Art only goes to his father when he wants to know something about the holocaust. Art pushes his father away by putting him situations that make his dad stress or uncomfortable about recalling the past. For example, when there was some cereal left that was not going to be eaten, Art’s father decide to return it instead of throwing it away and wasting it. “Mickey Mouse is the most miserable ideal ever” is a quote that I will also like to analyze for my body and explain how it relates to MAUS.

These are two ideas that I may consider writing about!!! J

Thesis1: In Maus by Art Spiegelman is a very interesting book about the holocaust that takes comic books and writing to a whole new level. The representation of animals…”Masks” is presented in a very unique but yet true way.

Thesis2: In Maus by Art Spiegelman is a very interesting book, it test a father-son relationship that has been walking on thin ice.

POSSIBLE THESIS!!! :p

hopefully guyz were able to understand this!
