We have recently finished reading "Maus". Maus was a very interesting book overall, and I thought the way the author put the book together was interesting. Art Spiegelman was the author of the book, and he had created this book through the perspective of his father and had formatted it into a comic. I thought that was a very interesting way of telling a story. I really actually enjoyed this book because it helped me understand different ways people write novels. The novel is also mainly talking about his father's experience as a Polish Jew and being a Holocaust Survivor. I believe that throughout the novel, Art displays his father very well and he makes sure the audience has an understanding of what is happening throughout the two novels he had created. The story within the book was created between 1980-1991. Within the book, Art displays mouses and cats to represent people. It is showing the different races and nationalities of the Jews and and the Germans are cats. The Germans as cats are represented through predators who prey on the Jewish mice. I believe this entire theme Art made up was quite clever and a clearly different way of portraying an interview. Overall, reading the Maus allowed me to have a different outlook on stories and books.
