The drawing don’t have many details and they look a bit like sketches. https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214936902 2017-12-11 09:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214936902 They don’t stand in line and they stand messy. Maybe he also tries to make anonymity (they all look the same) and the drawing is in black and white because its old. https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937035 2017-12-11 09:40:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937035 It's in black and white. It’s a sad graphic novel. There is not many details, but it shows the important things. https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937081 2017-12-11 09:40:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937081 The animals makes it ironic and you don’t engage as much with the people, so you don’t feel bad. And there is also some symbols whit the mouse as the Jewish and the cats as Germans. He hide his prejudice. If it was real people we would cry. https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937104 2017-12-11 09:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937104 Similarity: cami674h https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937127 They all look alike, and none of them have their own identity.]]> 2017-12-11 09:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937127 The second world war emma_iris_rye_rasmussen https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937177 Hitler and the concentration camp]]> 2017-12-11 09:41:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937177 Is it evil? soph1439 https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937263 This is very demonic evil, because of the fact, that hitler meant all the bad stuff that he did. He meant to kill-, or get rid of the jews. ]]> 2017-12-11 09:41:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937263 cami674h https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937378 It's easier to understand, because the nationalities are portrayed clearly.

According to spiegelman. Men and women in the camps were literally just scum and pests. They have matching uniforms and they were all put in the same box. So as we would have done with pest. https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937450 2017-12-11 09:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937450 It makes it more clear to see who is the weak ones and who is the strong ones. If it was drawn with humans it wouldn’t make it as clear and you wouldn’t be able to tell the strong from the weak, only if we looked at their clothes. https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937560 2017-12-11 09:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937560 It makes it more easy to read and the pictures makes it more understandable https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937614 2017-12-11 09:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937614 cami674h https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937647 Yes. It makes us feel more empathy, because there is pictures. In that way we don't have to "make up" the pictures on our own. ]]> 2017-12-11 09:43:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937647 Idealistic Evil https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937956 Because they thought it was good and because someone told them to do it]]> 2017-12-11 09:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214937956 Perhaps you could say, that some parts of it are evil, but besides the tormenting and capturing of prisoners, Hitler meant it in a good way, trying to get rid of the scum, so the right race could take a step forward. But also the whole world besides the germans, saw this as an act of evil and. I think it’s idealistic evil, because they meant to hurt the jews and they tried to dominate them in a very ingenious way. https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214938800 2017-12-11 09:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214938800 Yes emma_iris_rye_rasmussen https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214939228 it shows feelings, and you can see it on pictures ]]> 2017-12-11 09:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214939228 About Spiegelman and his wife’s relationship in Auschwitz and how it was living in Auschwitz emil044h https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214939482 2017-12-11 09:50:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214939482 It’s a good way to tell a story, without making it too dark. Because even the darkest sides doesn’t have to be mentioned. He makes it more understandable and in that way he eases it up a bit. https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214939486 2017-12-11 09:50:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/214939486 https://padlet.com/kal4/8gwoqztfxq9w/wish/215691205 The drawings are very minimalistic and dark.
