How does Artie depict himself at the start of Maus 2? do you think he tone is the same or has it changed from the tone of Maus 1? Explain with evidence from the text.
I think Arties tone is different in both of the books. In Maus two Arite has a more annoyed tone with his father Vladek. Vladek is very needy and does things a certain way. He is a big challenge for Artie and his wife. In Maus one his attitude is more respectful, especially to Vladek.
I completely agree. I am wondering since in Maus 1 he treated him with more respect because of Vladek's retelling of his experiences in the Holocaust if the same level of respect will surface again.
I think Arties tone changed from the tone of Maus 1. On the car ride to his fathers house, he talks to his wife about his parents experiences in Auschwitz and about Richieu. I think that what his father has been telling him is starting to really upset him emotionally. His wife also asks him if he was feeling depressed again, so that indicates that he has recently been feeling sad and upset. His parents past is probably what is bothering him. In the first book he did not show this emotion as much.
I did not read the first book, but in this one I feel like Artie has an annoyed and rushed tone. He was in a rush to get in and out of Vladeks house and most of the things Vladek does annoys Artie. For example the conflict with the wooden matches annoyed both Artie and his wife. In the beginning of the book Artie depicts himself as a mouse and is talking to his wife about how he should draw her. I'm not sure why this is, but I think it could having something to do with the fact that during the Holocaust people did not see Jewish people as actual people. They saw them more as animals, or rats.
I also did not read the first book, but I think that Artie is getting more and more fed up with his father's attitude. His tone is completely rushed and annoyed, and it is even getting to his wife.
Artie's frustrated tone is evident in the way he treats his father, as their discussions become more and more heated until Vladek begins again his story of the Holocaust. This seems to appease Artie because it gives him a chance to get to know his dad better. Although I did not read the first book, I believe that the tone is different in the second book.
The tone compared to the first book is different in a variety of ways to me. Artie is more more easily annoyed by his father, and because of that and him being around his father more he is more open and honest with his actions and reactions toward his father. In the first book, Artie was slightly more sympathetic towards Vladek. Now that he is past more troubling times with his father, Artie is as open as a book.
I agree, he isn't very good at keeping his feelings in and understanding his fathers pain. Vladek's going through a lot right now, and Artie needs to realize that. PF R.E LEE
The tone is very different in book one and book two. In book one Artie was much more respectful to his father and in book two he seems more annoyed and angry. He's more open with his father.
From the very beginning of Maus II, Artie seems to be very overwhelmed with the popularity of the first graphic novel. He illustrates himself significantly smaller then he usually is shown surrounded by the press asking him questions. He tells us how the success of Maus I affected him, but not in a good way. With the overwhelming anxiety that Artie feels, his character changes throughout the story. Not until the end of the novel, Artie becomes more impatient with his father when questioning him about his experience at Auschwitz. He also seems to be selfish in a way as if he is only visiting his father, whose health is steadily becoming worse, for only the sole purpose of gathering information from him. (123) CAA STA BLOCK 1
The way that Art depicts himself at the beginning of Maus 2 is completely different from the first Maus. Art is depicted on top of a pile of corpses while drawing. He becomes smaller and smaller until he is as small as a mouse. In the second, it seems as though all of the stories that Vladek has been telling Art has really put him in a depressed state. One example is when Art is seeing his shrink and he asks him if he feels guilty that he survived the war. Why would Art ask that if he didn't feel guilty himself. (103) STA JC Block 1
2. From the beginning of Maus 2, Artie shows how overwhelmed his is because of how popular his first book was, Maus1. In book 2 he shows himself smaller than him in the first book. He shows himself smaller when he is being surrounded by the press. In book 1 he seems nicer and shows more manners toward his father. In book 2 he looks like he is always angry, in a bad mood, and annoyed by everyone. Also in books 2 instead of being nice he is becoming selfish. In books 2 there are signs that Artie might have been depressed because his wife asked him if he was feeling sad. (110) AV STA BLOCK 3
I feel like Artie show himself in the second book that he is annoyed with his dad. He doesn’t want to be close with his dad, but wants to be distant to him. When they got there, Artie seemed like he wanted to leave, but he can’t since his wife informed him that they will be staying a few days. I think the tone of Maus I and Maus II changed because in book one was excited to see and enjoyed coming to hear the stories about his. In Maus II, he seemed irritated seeing his dad and being there.

In Maus 2, Artie was very desperate in wanting to know the stories of his father, Vladek, which made him gain popularity. He gets to the point where he is so desperate for more information from Vladek that he becomes overwhelmed with the fact of talking and answering the press’s questions. He also becomes very anxious with anything that he needs to know. He starts getting smaller and smaller after talking to the press, but all he can think of is asking Vladek more and more about how Auschwitz looked like and was like. In other words, he used Vladek as his source of info for fame; he did not really care about his health or what was going on in his life. (123) GC STA BLOCK 5
Arties is a more hostile toward his father Vladek, but in the first book he was sympathetic towards his father. I believe in this book that Artie starts showing his true colors.

ReplyDeleteI agree that his tone is very annoyed. Artie was very quick to dismiss his father and try to move on in conversation so him and his wife could leave.
DeleteI completely agree. I am wondering since in Maus 1 he treated him with more respect because of Vladek's retelling of his experiences in the Holocaust if the same level of respect will surface again.

ReplyDeleteI agree that his past and his parents past are getting to him. You could tell something is bothering him to make him act that way to his father.

ReplyDeleteIn Maus 2, Artie seemed like his father got on his nerves more and it was almost like he didn't really want to hear what he had to say. CLB RE LEE
