Maus Art Spiegelman Analysis

The personification in this quote is “love to be able to call out to love,” because love is an emotion, not a living or physical being, therefore it is unable to talk. This is an effective use of personification, because these words stay with the reader, and also have the effect of innocence from the eleven-year old narrator. “And then they were swallowed by the darkness. ”~Nathan

China’s one-child policy caused female babies to be killed and the elderly neglected. When Mao Zedong had control of China he thought that more people meant more workers however by 1960 China’s population exploded and the one child was established. Was the one child policy a good idea? China’s one child policy was a bad idea because, not enough workers, too many elderly, infanticide of female babies, and because it was not needed.

lack of thought, and destruction, and that all humans civilized or not are capable of destroying

Does any human actually want to take responsibilities for the mistakes they made? Doesn’t every human want to feel bad for themselves when they make what the consider a mistake? Many people were traumatized by a horrific event that they were forced into, while their friends and family were all being killed and forced to work against their will for the Nazi’s. While many people were affected, not all of them were able to fully explain how hurt they were as it was something that was not easy to talk about for them. In a graphic novel called Maus, the author Art Spiegelman is trying to connect to his father and understand the hardships he went through during a hard time called the Holocaust. The author starts to talk about the Holocaust with his father and starts to learn how hard it was for his father, Vladek and his now deceased mother, Anja. His father and mother fought to not go into the camps until the last second, doing anything possible to stay away from them whether it meant lying or hiding with the rest of their family. When discussing this with his father he wanted to be able to tell his father’s story for him, as he was never able to do it himself. Not only does Spiegelman just tell his story with words, he tells it with pictures through a graphic novel, using unique techniques with the illustrations in order to explain how broken human relationships were at this time period. Art Spiegelman represents humans as being accustomed to animalistic behaviors as he

diseases, and people that marry several times, or people that cannot have kids, but I would rather

In addition, in life people are blind by love, it produces people that do not care about themselves or about what reality they are living. For instance, my uncle Camilo is a successful person who has a great company in Colombia. He was in love with a girl who was 10 years younger than him. My cousin travels everywhere with her, he spends a lot of money on her including flight tickets, cars, clothes, food, and other things. Most of the times she is rude, vain, and annoy with him, but the girl just flirts to him to get what she wanted. Camilo does not notice how his girlfriend treats him, everyone in the family is talking to him about how she is using him for her benefit but he does not understand because he is in love with her. Until, his company break, she left and let him alone because he does not have money anymore. Passing the days, he understands that sometimes the love can alter the truth of how people

This is essentially the same kind of relationship I have to the plant in a garden. I water the plants, weed the ground around, allowing them to flourish and in turn they provide me with food. It seems on this conception of love I am equally able to love plant and a person, and do so in very much the same manner. If love then, is love the useful it encompasses so much as to become almost meaningless. It is odd to think of a young girl picking petals of a flower saying, "he thinks I'm useful, he thinks he I'm useful not." Or staring deep into a lover's eye and saying,"You are useful to me."

Love represents protection, caring, and honesty. Love is invisible, and it only appears after serious events. For example, in The Outsiders, Darry’s love for Ponyboy is throughout the novel, but Pontboy misunderstands Darry, but finally he realizes the love that Darry has for him. Darry’s love for Ponyboy appears clearly to him only after Ponyboy gets hurts because Darry was mature but strict, Darry burst into tears when he sees him after Ponyboy gets hurt, and Darry becomes more gentle to Ponyboy.

Love is an essential part of life. Every individual wants to be loved, and needs someone to love. It is an element that is fundamental to the well-being of all human kind; it is that magic that can heal wounds. However love also has the capacity to traumatize a person if it is extracted from their life. While we all wish to experience love, many of us tend to find the often inevitable detachment to be quite painful. In the novel The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby's longing for Daisy Buchanan leads him to his own downfall. Similarly in the novel Hamlet, Hamlet's extreme love for his father and his hatred towards his mother play a major role in his tragedy. In these works, there are a number of motivating factors that contribute to the downfall

bell hooks in “Love as the Practice of Freedom” explains thoroughly as to how love is the form to be liberated. Without any love society is blind and continues to practice systems of domination without being aware. However the community should look out for one another not just when a problem impacts an individual. Everyone must be aware of the systems of domination- imperialism,sexism,racism, and classism to create change. When radical love is comprehended it allows the destruction of oppression,exploitation and there is liberation

This report is based on the best-selling graphic novel Maus, written by renowned American cartoonist Art Spiegelman. The book was originally published in 1986 by Pantheon Books. The anomalous novel depicts the life and story of Art Speigelman’s Polish born parents - Vladek and Anja Speigelman and how they survived the Holocaust. In his novel, the Jews are portrayed as mice, the Poles as pigs, and Germans as cats. The story alternates between the parents’ struggles and the present day strained relationship between Vladek Speigelman and his son, including the suicide of Art’s mother when he was 20 years old and its effect on them.

Love is a force that inspires us to feel more, do more, and sometimes sacrifice for the object of our attention. Poems, music, relationships are all written in the name of love. There are six kinds of love, according to the ancient Greeks:

Throughout time, the world and its history has seen the ravages of a superiority complex based upon a certain race or religion deeming themselves better than everyone else. No one war, race or religion has ever come out on top nor has anyone been entirely unaffected by the oppression this superiority complex has caused.

Love is also the feeling someone has for a job perhaps, for a lobby of the hotel you serve in that always smells just so and has plants hanging from the wall giving the illusion you had just stepped out of a dreary gray, salt-encrusted winter into a touch of the exotic. Or for a hobby, for the grip of a ball, the tension in a muscle, the throw, watching it spin just so to the exact right spot. For rolling a die and dreaming up daring adventures against ancient dragons, or of that risk of gaining or losing it all. For the whoosh of air in free fall from 10,000 feet, or the watery embrace of sea exploring. For healing a sick child, for holding a kite string as it plays upon a wind we've no control over. For

Balance. Our world depends upon it physically, psychologically, and spiritually. This principle, although easy to overlook, is the foundation of my personal philosophy. Without balance there is no harmony, no conflict and no growth. Any productive result, any achievement, any strength is useless without it.
