It also helps to realistically depict human trauma and grief. The story is very dark and needed a more dimensional and darker illustration style for the story.]]> 2022-09-27 15:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mjs7528/3hm8u4shuf8l65ch/wish/2315764248 Similarities melzhangg59 https://padlet.com/mjs7528/3hm8u4shuf8l65ch/wish/2315765311 The dialogue and characters does not change drastically, just the illustration.]]> 2022-09-27 15:00:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mjs7528/3hm8u4shuf8l65ch/wish/2315765311 Experience while reading melzhangg59 https://padlet.com/mjs7528/3hm8u4shuf8l65ch/wish/2315769546 The story becomes more realistic and disturbing. It's harder to read with the harsh illustrations, sometimes even horrific. ]]> 2022-09-27 15:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mjs7528/3hm8u4shuf8l65ch/wish/2315769546 Illustration style melzhangg59 https://padlet.com/mjs7528/3hm8u4shuf8l65ch/wish/2315787272 Similar to that of a linoleum print-- the restriction of value and gradient, and instead relying on lines and hatching to create dimension. It flattens the images while still having strong contrast and detail.]]> 2022-09-27 15:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mjs7528/3hm8u4shuf8l65ch/wish/2315787272 Middle Panel 102 melzhangg59 https://padlet.com/mjs7528/3hm8u4shuf8l65ch/wish/2315789754 The panel includes a detailed coffin stretching across two panels, with bright white blocky letters spelling out "ANNA". The overlapping coffin represents the intrusiveness of her death. It's unavoidable for Artie to face, and his face being large and looming shows readers his sadness with his wide eyes and dark under eyes. His face is not fully visible because of how large the coffin is drawn. The blocky letters stretch across the two panels depicting the never-ending cries of grief during the funeral that haunt Artie. The panels are overstimulating in a disturbing manner.]]> 2022-09-27 15:13:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mjs7528/3hm8u4shuf8l65ch/wish/2315789754 Page 100 melzhangg59 https://padlet.com/mjs7528/3hm8u4shuf8l65ch/wish/2315790913 2022-09-27 15:14:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mjs7528/3hm8u4shuf8l65ch/wish/2315790913 interview mjs7528 https://padlet.com/mjs7528/3hm8u4shuf8l65ch/wish/2315805462 2022-09-27 15:21:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mjs7528/3hm8u4shuf8l65ch/wish/2315805462 credible sources mjs7528 https://padlet.com/mjs7528/3hm8u4shuf8l65ch/wish/2315838563 2022-09-27 15:38:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mjs7528/3hm8u4shuf8l65ch/wish/2315838563 Sources melzhangg59 https://padlet.com/mjs7528/3hm8u4shuf8l65ch/wish/2315856986 https://blogs.setonhill.edu/CarissaAltizer/2009/10/artistic_differences_between_m.html

mother’s suicide, which he titles 
Prisoner on the Hell Planet. 
On your Padlet, explain why 
you think Spiegelman chose to include this section. Explore how it is both similar to and different from the rest of the book (both visually and narratively), and focus on relating it to the reading you completed for today (ch 1 and 2 of vol II). Think about how and 
why the reading / viewing experience of 
Maus changes, after we experience 
Prisoner on the Hell Planet. What do you think Spiegelman was trying to communicate, by including this book?
