Questions for Maus I

1.  Why do you think the author decided to depict the various characters as different animals (cats, pigs, mice) ?
2.. Many people have critiqued the author for depicting such a serious topic in a comic book format.  What is your opinion on this and why do you think he decided to do this?
3.  In chapter four we see some Jews who have been hanged by the Germans.  What other "noose" is tightening in this chapter?
4.  "Prisoner on the Hell Planet" in chapter 5 uses people as characters rather than animals.  Why does the author do this?  Why is Art portrayed as a prisoner?
5.  Art ends the book by calling his father a murderer.  Why does he use such a strong word and what do you think he means by this?

1.i think it was a good idea i guess he was compering the hummans to the animals of how they get along in the wourld. 2.i think is a verry interesting way off seeing things. 4.because i guess he wanted us to see it like the real thing. 5.that is a verry strong word but he really didnt have a long time to bond with his mother and that was the only thing that was left of her and he burd it.
