Week 7 -Maus 1 T/ Maus 2

These are some of the first graphic narrative book that i have read. The story keeps you so interested. I had a hard time putting it down. I wanted to know what happened next the plot was so jaw dropping and the art was so interesting they way people were portrayed as animals. Art Spiegelman really knew what he was doing and shows people what the Holocaust was like from a different perspective. It is nice that you see how much he  cares about his father but has a had time showing it cause his father is so stubborn. Art Spiegelman, wanting to record his father's Vladek Spiegelman history as a graphic novel, conducts a series of interviews with him over several years. Vladek tells how German policy towards Jews slowly changed in the late 1930s, and how his family came to suffer, persecution, and loss of life. Talks about Vladek and how he tried to make the most out of the difficult situations he faced. Once i had finished the first i could wait to read the second.
