Muas, night blogg

Both these books are quite similar in the fact that they both tell stories about the holocaust and the world war II. One of the similarities that both of these books share is the main characters experience what happens to them in the holocaust in there own way. Like Elie in most of the book was kept in a concentration camp trying to survive and so was Vladek in Maus II during the younger years of his life. Although they were similar stories they were told from a different perspective, in Night it was actually happening while being told and Vladek was telling his story or experience of what happened during it to his son in the Maus books. Another similarity is during both of the books the Germans mock and make fun of the Jews. During Night They would laugh and taunt the Jews while they prayed, also they would beat up on them too. One of the Germans asked Vladek if the wound on his hand had healed then he stabbed it again to re-open the cut and make Vladek suffer in Maus II. One more connection of the books is that in Maus there were side stories of what went on in Vladeks story other than just the Holocaust and in Night the story was written strait through without many side stories. Like Before anything bad happened in the 1930s and 1940s vladek explained out his love life and who he married, but during Night it was all mainly about concentration camps and how they survived the Holocaust. I believe that other schools should read both books because it gives different perspectives of what happened to them during the holocaust and world war two. The nice thing is you get a illustrated version during the Maus books, but Night is more of a descriptive story about what happened to the characters. Students would be able to get through these books quick also because Night isnt a long read and the Maus books are all comics.
