I don't know what I'm going to write my essay on yet; therefore this blog is bound to be lame. I'm sorry if I ramble, I'm just trying to get ideas flowing.
I haven't read anything extra pertaining to this novel but I have studied the Holocaust quite a bit. I have even been to the Holocaust museum in Washington D.C. I find it very interesting and I'm sure I can find something to write about...
IDEA! Okay, so I was thinking about doing something with those comics that we got in class. I want to use the part that talks about how people just see themselves in everything they look at. And also when he talks about comics and why they make them so simple. So my thinking is that I can relate this to Maus by talking about how they are wearing the masks sometimes and then other times they are actually portrayed as mice. So, I kinda have a lot to say about this. Like; what's the point of making them mice? what are they representing? is it making it more impersonal or maybe the exact opposite? I'm not sure if I could do an entire essay on it or if I would end up talking in circles, but we'll see. I want to include it in some way for sure. Even if it's a small portion.
Well, I think that's it for me and ideas right now.
PEACE.
