Maus-Night Blogging Assignment
In the same way that we discussed how Fallen Angels and Restrepo complemented each other, reflect on how Maus and Night serve as companion pieces. Look for emotional, thematic and literary connections that go beyond superficial similarities (e.g., both are about the Holocaust), and be sure to cite specific examples from both works as you progress towards a recommendation of whether classes should read one or the other or both. This blog must be posted by Mon, March 28.

Maus is a story of life in the halacaust and the emotional an terrorizing feeling that you feel everday. It is a graphic novel describing a man and his family trying to survive the greatest genocide known to man kind. It talks about love when Vladek meets Anja and sorrow when Richieu dies. I believe that the class should between Night and Maus should read this book because I fell that guys are more intreged by this comic book rather then the full page novel in Night writen by Elie Wiesel.
Night is a book by Elie Wiesel that goes into a little more personal view on the Halaucaust an one 15 year ols life in the death camp Auschwitz. It tell of the horrors and the tragedies that happen everyday as if death was the norm. I believe that if a actual regular class was supposed to choose they should choose to read this book because it helps to fully understand life in detail during the holocaust. I believe that in a group of guys who read this that they should not read this because I believe that guys are more intreged by books life Maus that are comics than books like this that are full page novels.
I belive that Maus and Night are comparative iceces like Fallen Angels and Restrepo because they both talk about life in the holocaust and the death camp Auschwitz. Both books are very different in ho w the go through the average life an Auschwitz but the baseline is the same. They both talk about the arrival to the death camp and the emotionally sad and horrifing seperation from there families. The thought of there families and that they might even be dead was a constant thoguth between both books. Both books put great detail on the average day of hard labor and forceful gaurds who would kill and prisoner just for the fun of it. They both talk about how they had to deal with the gaurds and always do what they are told, and to be in tip top shape when the horrific selections came around. Overall both books are different in there unique singular ways but the topics and the average life in the death camps and the Holocaust are all the same.

Some good ideas, but grammar and spelling mistakes sometimes make it hard to follow.
