By looking at the words and image on the page, I think they foreshadow that the murders of Jews will begin soon. I think Spiegelman introduce us to his family by “panning” around the dining table so we could see a bit of everyone’s characteristics. Instead of showing a simple mugshot of each family member, the panning catches them doing different things. This trait can show what kind of person they are. Vladek lied about the amount of money he made because the family would’ve spent all of it if he didn’t. This shows that Vladek isn’t so called “selfish”, but he didn’t want his family buying useless things. Spiegelman includes a poster that says “REWARD: every unregistered Jew that you find, you’ll get one kilo of sugar.” This tells us that the Germans gave the Poles incentives to expose the Jews. Vladek heard about Auschwitz from the very beginning, but he never believed it. It wasn’t until he actually saw it that he become terrified. It was difficult for Vladek and his family to sign up for the stadium because they didn’t know if they would come out alive. One event that occurred in this chapter is that Vladek started working in the black market. It’s significant because he only did it because they needed money. Another event is that the Nazis began to purposely kill Jews. This shows just had bad things got. The third event is that Vladek and his family were kicked out of their house and sent somewhere else. This represents when the Nazis began to take their things. Another event is that Vladek tried to send his son with strangers to keep him safe. Lastly, Vladek’s father purposely jumps to the “bad side” of the fence at the stadium so his daughter wouldn’t be alone. This shows just how much families never wanted to be separate.

By looking at the image and text on the cover page for chapter 5, I think in this chapter the Jews will find secret holes to hind in from the Nazis. Vladek got upset with the Prisoner comic because it was very personal and about Anja. On pages 119-121, Vladek learns that some Nazis are killing Jews for fun. That sentence alone makes me feel sick. Also, One of Vladek’s cousins PURPOSELY got some Jews sick by putting some laundry soap in the cake. As Vladek and Anja were walking, they come across a Swastika. This image shows that they’re never safe. I don’t think the things Vladek says about Mala are true because she seems very sweet, and it almost seems like Vladek is describing his ex-girlfriend. One event that happens is that Vladek calls up Artie to come help him fix his roof. This leads us to know that Vladek always thought was better than his son at things like that. Another event is that One of Vladek’s cousins poisoned a lot of Jews. He did so by putting laundry soap as a substitute for sugar. A third event is that Pesach contacted the guards to look the other way so the others could escape. Another event is that. Vladek and another find a bunker made from shoes. This way the family can live there and be a bit safe. Lastly, Vladek goes ranting about how Mala is just using him.

By looking at the image and text on the cover page for chapter 6, I think the chapter will be about Vladek and Anja getting caught. Artie’s dilemma at the beginning of the chapter is the bickering between Vladek and Mala. Artie even suggests going to see a marriage counselor, but Vladek refuses. Anti-Semitism is being passed down generation by generation by the mothers always telling the kids “Be careful! A Jew will catch you to a bag and eat you!” Artie calls Vladek a murderer when he finds out about Anja’s diaries. He uses a strong word because Vladek destroyed all of Anja’s diaries even when he remembered seeing that Anja wrote that she wanted Artie to see the diaries. I don’t agree with Artie calling him that. One event that occurred during this chapter is that Vladek and Anja go hide in a stranger's barn. Another event is that Anja and Vladek later go stay with a woman in her basement, but she later kicks them out afraid someone was going to search her house. Another event is that Vladek and Mala are arguing again. Lastly, Artie finds out that Vladek burned all of Anja's diaries, and he rages.

Spiegelman writing style is not approved by many because it is in a form of a graphic novel, so all the images are giving the readers the answers as you read through. He writes with Vladek having imperfect English that helps bring out the book more in terms of the dialogue like when he make some of the words bold that doesn't really need to be bold,"I have for you a warmer one"(pg. 69). He uses the allusion of the Jews being mice and the Germans being cats and we all know that mice is the prey for cats to kill and get rid of them. His overall writing style helps reader understand what he is trying to say.
