Expectations

How did Maus meet your preconceived notions of a Holocaust story? How did it differ?

Images teel the story too...

Find a panel that emotionally connected you to the story. On what page is it? Explain why that panel emotionally "grabbed" your attention.

FLASHBACKS...

The story is told in the present and Artie shows the memories as flashbacks. How does he transition from present to past? Is the PRESENT VLADEK similar to or different from the FLASHBACK VLADEK? Explain with details form the story.

Anja

What do we learn about Artie's mother, Anja, in Chapter Two? How does Speigelman also tell the present-day story of Vladek within this segment?
