Maus
The thing that I enjoyed most about this "comic" book was the fact that it was telling a piece of our history, but in a way that it made you forget you were reading. It was a story within a story. Yeah it was about the Holocoust, but it also was a story of a son that was trying to understand his family's past struggles. The imagry that was used had great symbolic meaning and the flow of the story was smooth and easy to follow. It's a great way to teach someone about the Holocoust because you still get the main pieces of information, but with a modern twist.

I'm beginning to wonder, Ashley, if you're having problems understanding the course material. I'm glad that you think that Maus is a good teaching tool, but your post doesn't show me that you've been thinking about it in its postmodern context. Where's your analysis of the way in which the text revisits history? What about White?
Please let me know how I can help. I want you to do your best.
