His past has made him rater bitter towards everyone, especially his wife Mala. His mentality helped him a lot during his time as a war prisoner because it kept him alive and (relatively) safe because he got much more food, a real bed, and warmth.

# data[].attributes.body
It was darker when illustrating Vladek's past probably because it is a serious/gloomy tone.

# data[].attributes.body
he has a rough time trusting people because of him getting captured and the nazis took his stuff and told him he would be set free. I think his mentality about his situation helped him a lot because his mentality of finding the way to be treated the most ¨human¨ kept him alive.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme is that, with the right mindset, you can accomplish nearly anything.

# data[].attributes.body
It is kinda comical while still maintaining a serious tone.

In the beginning of chapter 3, Vladek is very insistent that Artie finishes EVERYTHING on his plate. I think he says that because back then when he was in the camps, he barely had anything to eat, and that affected him because he thought every little bit was valuable. In the text Vladek says: "Yes! So it has to be, always you must eat all what is on your plate.

His past effects him by making him more abrasive and unsympathetic towards others problems. His mentality helped him survive by not following others like when he said "I am not going to die and I won't die here! I want to be treated like a human being! (Spiegleman 54)

# data[].attributes.body
It did effect his present life because he says he missed Anja and has very traumatic memories. He talks about how cold it was in Autumn (Spiegelman 53) and his memory of shooting a man repeatedly until he stopped moving and died (Spiegelman 48). His mentality did end up helping him because he had a very positive mentality. He always found the good in everything that happened.

# data[].attributes.body
It makes him stern & apathetic towards others, for example he threw away his son's jacket just because he didn't like it. It helped him. His optimism helped him get back to his face.

# data[].attributes.body
When Vladek talks about hos past, the panels are way darker than in the present, and almost everything is black. The tone that this creates is very dark and scary.

# data[].attributes.body
The color was very shaded compared to the first 2 chapters, showing it was a very difficult time, or dark time in his life. The tone is very gloomy, and reflects his hardship as a P.O.W.. Another example of this dark shading to display emotion can be seen when Anja is struggling with suicidal thoughts.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme that can be portrayed is that if you believe and have faith that what you want can happen, it will happen. In the text, during when Vladek was in the camp, his dead grandfather appeared to him in a dream that he was going to make it out of the camp.

# data[].attributes.body
The color scheme is generally the same, but I guess it uses more black than the other panels. It creates a dark & depressing tone.

# data[].attributes.body
Vladek's present is reflecting his past a lot because what he says to Artie and his actions are kind of affected by what he had to go through before.

# data[].attributes.body
With the right attitude, you can always make it through hard times, such as when Vladek made it through being a P.O.W (Spiegelman 63)
and when his wife made it through depression (Soiegelman 36).

# data[].attributes.body
The color scheme in the past is darker and a lot more shaded. This is to represent the much darker and gloomier tone of the events in the past

# data[].attributes.body
He still has a survivor mentality, for he throws away his son's coat, justifying it because he feels his son needs a warmer coat (Spiegelman 69). He was made meaner, especially to his second wife, Mala (Spiegelman 44). His mentality helped him because he made better decisions for the situation he was in (Spiegelman 55).

# data[].attributes.body
The theme is work-hard and you'll succeed. Vladek continuously shows how his optimism helped him escape as a prisoner of war from the prisoner camps & the worker's camp.

# data[].attributes.body
His past has made him rater bitter towards everyone, especially his wife Mala. His mentality helped him a lot during his time as a war prisoner because it kept him alive and (relatively) safe because he got much more food, a real bed, and warmth.

It's very dark and gloomy but it is a very good view on history. This view is very personal, allowing an emotional connection to be made between the reader and characters.

# data[].attributes.body
The color of the pages changes from the present to the past. the present was light and happy, while the past was dark and chaotic. Take page 43 vs. 47 and look for the vast difference.

# data[].attributes.body
According to the way Vladek was behaving while a prisoner it was clear that no matter what happened he was GOING to find a way out. He volunteered to work even though it was probably a trick just because it held the promise of food and warm shelter. When he was trying to get back to his family he posed as a Pole to hitch a ride. If it weren't for his open-mindedness he would have frozen in the camp he was first brought to

# data[].attributes.body
when you put your mind to your priorities and beliefs you can achieve them.

# data[].attributes.body
Vladek's past would effect things such as when artie doesn't eat vladek makes him eat because vladek wasn't able to eat at one point. His mentality helps him because it's his mind that helps him join the work force and that helps him get free.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme portrayed so far is to not be a sheep and follow the leader. You should trust your instincts.  (Never volunteer! If we have to die, lets die here! No! I didn't agree! I'm not going to die, and I won't die here! I want to be treated like a human being! Spiegleman 54) this ended up being the better option therefore trust yourself.

He made the colors a darker shade, to represent the loss of the war and the "dark" tone of the war. He shades more of the characters to show that they are more dirty due to their working conditions.

Delaney: "I don't like the dad. He's very mean. >:("
Austin: "I like how it shows the troubles the people had to go through in the holocaust, because some people don't know how bad the holocaust was and this graphic novel really helps people learn how bad it was for the Jews and other groups in the holocaust."
Andrew: "I think that its a good book but it makes me really glad i wasn't around them."

# data[].attributes.body
It was very clever of Vladek to keep his mind sharp by playing games, or to take a cold bath so he would feel warmer than before. It is also weird that Vladek can just casually talk about the war and his experiences with out with out feeling overwhelmingly sad.

# data[].attributes.body
We believe the theme of the novel so far is that in order to survive a difficult situation, you have to be willing to make large sacrifices (Spiegelman 55). It shows how stressful events can change someone's personality (Spiegelman 43).

# data[].attributes.body
it makes him very distant toward people, especially toward mala

# data[].attributes.body
its a very dark view on history and goes very in depth in his feelings and thoughts and can be very emotional at times

# data[].attributes.body
the shades were darker when it would show flashbacks from the war

# data[].attributes.body
The panels are much darker when illustrating his past. The tone is a dark sad tone and that must be why the panels are darker.

# data[].attributes.body
We think the narrative between Vladek and Art in the present day is very interesting because it's a side of the Holocaust that you don't get to hear about too much.

# data[].attributes.body
showing kindness ans compassion towards others karma will come back and people will be kind to you, this was shown when the polish guy at the train station helped vladek

# data[].attributes.body
The theme is that when you put your mind to something you can accomplish anything. Just like when Vladek joined the work force and stayed there and then he was free

# data[].attributes.body
The book's color scheme seems to be dark which makes sense because the tone is very dark too when showing Vladek's past

# data[].attributes.body
It's a very sad novel and it can be hard to follow before the climax.

It gives you perspective and sympathy on events we weren't alive to experiance.
