Last class, proffesor gord told us about Maus. And he said that he didn’t remember cartoonist’s name.
Maus’s cartoonist is Art Spiegelman. He was awarded the pulizer prize with Maus in 1992. As cartoon it recieves the pulizer prize at the begining.
Maus is consists of two books, ’1.My Father Bleeds History’ and ’2.And Here My Troubles Began’. It is the story of Vladek Spiegelman ,who is a survivor of Nazi Europe, and also Art Spiegelman’s father. Art spiegelman is a jew. Title ‘Maus’ is just mouse and it symbolize a jew that is suffered by Nazis. Undoubtedly, cat appear and this cat means Nazis. And also other people are personifed. A Poles are personified as a pig, and Americans are personifed as a dog.
This story tell us ’what did Nazis do to the jew?’ that we don’t know. That we only know is ’German have to reflect on themselves and apolize for the jew.’. That’s all. So, i recommend you.
This is only idle talk. I think, Mr. Vladek Spiegelman is very smart.
