MmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmAus Two...

Well I have chosen an essay that I found online and it actually does not have an author that I can find easily.  So I can say that this might not be one of the most reliable things to look at, but what can I argue with.  I want to see what other people are thinking about this book and compare them to my observations.  The essay that I found talks mostly about how Art Spiegelman does not use the pictures in the comments as most people would think they are.  He does not want the pictures to over come his writing in a sense because he would rather the reader learn about what he is saying by reading his writing and not only by looking at his drawings.  He points out that in man cases Spiegelman uses the same expression over and over on the characters faces.  I believe that the person wrote about this because it really shows how Spiegelman does not and can not represent these terrible events.  Also the essay tries to explain how Spiegelman uses humor throughout the story in order to make it less terrible.  He believes that instead of representing the story in a negative way, Spiegelman used comedy to make it readable to an average person.  I like the thought of this becasue it is again along the lines on how Spiegelman uses something to take away from the real feeling of the event.  He knows that he can not represent this event because he was not there and wherever he got the information survived through it so that also would not even be the worst thing that happened.  When Spiegelman uses techniques like this he is showing that he can not represent what actually happened.  He is just merely giving us something to think about and base our ideas on.http://mybestessays.com/maus-2-essay-research-paper-there-is/ or http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/home.php?sk=group_115752808497570
