We tear this place up...
This was much more work then I thought it would be, and what you said it would be. It was not a simple google search. You lied, and I don't appreciate it!!! JKJK but it was hard...
So the link that I found was from this girl name Anna who is really into world war II so she and her book club had a world war II challenge. She was suppose to read another book, but instead picked this up. After reading Maus she picked up the second edition, and found a whole new prospective about it. She goes on and says, "I must say that I thought I’d already read my share of World War II literature this year, but I can safely say that Maus is an epic piece in Holocaust literature, a must-read for anyone who’s interested in reading about the Holocaust. I thought that having read several Holocaust-themed books this year would steel me for the impact of Maus, but I highly doubt anyone can read this book without being stirred. The starkly drawn figures in thick inky strokes are arresting in their simplicity, and the candidness of the tone used throughout the books only underscore the threads of emotion palpable beneath the surface." Even though she had a great knowledge of the war the things that were written in Maus gave her a better insight of it. For example the gas chambers, she knew of them but was not aware of what it was really used for. She continues on in her analysis about the use of animals and the impact it was for him to draw them like that. Furthermore she goes on about how the book is a good timeline for those who do not know what happened in the holocaust and for those who do remember and keep in mind what happened during that time. And how the use of black and white and making it into a comic gives you a better visual of what happened and you can sense the powerful force that was meant to be in the book. If that makes sense because to me it does.
So yep that is my link, probably not the best link but oh well it helps.
