"Getting the conversation from him came in tidbits that were mosaic that had to be reassembled and worked out later." he said of the interview with his father. This shows how Spiegelman had to reconstruct history with the sporadic historical evidence and stories his father gave him.]]> 2022-09-27 14:55:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jdr5940/gdafqtlpe81mtko1/wish/2315754711 timflynn24 https://padlet.com/jdr5940/gdafqtlpe81mtko1/wish/2315760149 Tim Flynn: This article by Ana Merino analyzes how Spiegelman uses Art as the narrator to recollect and tell his father Vladek's experience in the holocaust through his own testimonies. Merino argues that Maus achieves its maturity as a graphic novel by telling a personal narrative using memory and historical evidence.]]> 2022-09-27 14:58:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jdr5940/gdafqtlpe81mtko1/wish/2315760149 jdr5940 https://padlet.com/jdr5940/gdafqtlpe81mtko1/wish/2315778683 2022-09-27 15:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jdr5940/gdafqtlpe81mtko1/wish/2315778683 jdr5940 https://padlet.com/jdr5940/gdafqtlpe81mtko1/wish/2315786162 Josh Rainey]]> 2022-09-27 15:12:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jdr5940/gdafqtlpe81mtko1/wish/2315786162 rjm6797 https://padlet.com/jdr5940/gdafqtlpe81mtko1/wish/2315809927 This article talks abut the ethics of this book representing the Holocaust.

The priest was not Jewish, but he was trying to help Vladek by using the numbers on his arm to talk about how the number "17" is a good omen. The priest says that he might not survive through this hell where they mercifully killed Jews without mercy. Then Vladek, now in the present talks about his time with his son. Conveying the narrative about what happened to him at the start of his time in Auschwitz trying to survive. Vladek believed that the priest gave him his life so that he would survive. The numbers that the prisoners were given in our mind are to show how the prisoners were taken role of. But it seems that other people had a different perspective of what the numbers actually mean. This describes his story of the holocaust and how he survived it.]]> 2022-09-27 15:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jdr5940/gdafqtlpe81mtko1/wish/2315818840 jdr5940 https://padlet.com/jdr5940/gdafqtlpe81mtko1/wish/2315839092 This image of the concentration camps and its layout looks like a map. This is very accurate, so much so he adds the river's name on the top right of the middle panel. This is history, this is the research Artie put into writing Maus. But this is layered underneath Artie's conversations with his father. His father is the one who it was there and described his experiences, all of which is his narrative of the events being depicted. History in general is created by narrative. The history we see in class and in published workbooks are all that specific author, or historian, or professor, or experts' interpretation of what happened. That is their narrative, and this selection from Maus allows us to visualize Vladek's narrative. All of which have merit and all of which prove the point that history is framed, both literally and figuratively, by narrative.  - Reno DiCesare]]> 2022-09-27 15:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jdr5940/gdafqtlpe81mtko1/wish/2315839092
