Maus and Of Mice and Men

George, a man who lived in depression and had no family, he was a friend of mentally disabled people. Vladek is another person who lives with the family during the Holocaust era, hiding to save lives, surviving for the atrocities of the Nazis, and staying together as a family. All these sounds a lot different, and the two do not have similarities in these stories. However, I saw similarities between each character and its situation. The roles of Maus, Of Mice and Men, each other, there are many materials that can compare topics similar to myself, but they can be inferred from the psychoanalytic criticism of personality.

25 years ago, Art Spiegelman published his first Maus book - a graphic novel about the author 's father' s experience during the Holocaust. Jews are drawn as big eyes mice, and the Nazis are threatening. Cat Maus II was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1991 - Graphic Novel, one of the award-winning graphic novels - both intriguing and stimulating the interest of readers. His new book, MetaMaus, Spiegelman, and English professor at the University of Chicago, Hillary Chute, discussed how Maus' book was made. Next is the first of two excerpts of the conversation.

Art Spiegelman 's Maus talks about the survival of his father in the Auschwitz concentration camp Mice represent Nazis guards of Jews and cats. These discussion questions lead students to read books These materials include Maus and Spiegelman's interviews and their great influence since publication in 1986.

In Art Spiegelman's graphic novel "Maus", the use of a mask is very important. Maus was a story of his life as Art's father, Vladek Spiegelman, and Polish Jew, and was sent to the notoriously notorious Auschwitz concentration camp. His father survived, and here we won the Pulitzer Prize and many other awards, we make crazy stories. There are many controversies over this work, critics complained that such serious topics could be conveyed to characters drawn as animals through graphic novel media. Maus is a different type of genocidal story, as the mouse is depicted as a Jew, a cat as a German, a pig as an American, a dog as an American, and a french as a frog. Even with the use of animal identity, it is important to use masks in this story. I think the use of masks by people of mice is very important for storytelling.
