Maus-Night Blog

Maus and Night are both interesting pieces of work, in which they depict the events of the Holocaust.  What sets them apart is how the author presents the story being told.  Night is a novel and is written to describe the horrors of the Holocaust, while Maus is a cartoon which puts the Holocaust in lighter terms, although it also shows the horrors of the Holocaust.  Though they are presented completely differently, they both do a good job of informing the reader about the Holocaust, and they both had similarities.  In both of the books, the characters probably knew what their fate was, and they had to rely on others to support them.  Both books depict how tragic the Holocaust is and how common death is, and both show the hope that remained with the Jews, even in the camps.  I would recommend reading both of these books because they effectively tell the story of the Holocaust in their own unique ways.
