Please Kindly paraphrase the answer without plagiarism. 9. Vladekknew there were gas chambers and it was not a good place to be sent to. While at Auschwitz, Vladek is able to smuggle food and messages to Anja, who is at Birkenau. Finally, he is able to visit Birkenau as part of a work detail and sees Anja. Vladek then barters his skills as a shoemaker for more favors. He is able to save enough to bribe Anja’s transfer to Auschwitz. 10. While Mala does not seem essential in telling the history of Art’s father, Vladek, she gives insight to who he is in the present. Married to Vladek after the suicide of his first wife, Anja, but having known the him prior to the war and having survived the holocaust, Mala also serves to impress upon to readers of Maus that no matter how stereotypical Vladek’s traits are, the traits are unshared by others of similar religion and background. 11. The drain pipe incident shows that Art’s relationship is difficult. He is annoyed at Vladek’s insistence on trying to do it himself and he considers having to help Vladek a burden. He pushes the problem on someone else. Of course, he comes back later, because he feels guilty, which shows that he has some tenderness for his dad, even if it’s conflicted with resentments too. 12. In this section, we see that Artie is clothed in attire that was worn during the holocaust, or prison clothing. This meant that he felt as if he commited his mother’s death by killing her, without actually doing it. We are taken back of earlier during the day when Anja asks him if he loves her, and being the teen that he was, he just blew her off. Maybe he felt that him not answering her question, or responding back with an “I love you too mom”, was what triggered her suicide. Artie probably felt that Anja killed herself because she wasn’t receiving the love that she wanted, and she felt like she had no other reason to live because nobody loved her enough to tell her, or to convince her to stay. It is a possibility that maybe if Artie did tell his mom that he loved her, then she would still be alive. Unlike the rest of the story, this section is actually drawn in human form. The character’s are not animals, but they are actual people. The reason for this could be because it is significant to Artie and Vladek. Although we do not get Anja’s point of view of the holocaust, she has a part in his book. Because Artie wasn’t there with his parents to actually experience the holocaust, he cannot really place himself in their shoes and cannot take it seriously. The holocaust is something that one has to really experience in order to understand what those people went through. As for his mother’s death, he wasn’t there to discover her body, but he saw her previous to her death, which signifies the intensity of the situation.13. Haskel, like Vladek is a survivor. The biggest difference between them is that Haskel used their predicament and his position in the Jewish police to increase his fortune. From the , we can infer that Haskel was a victim of the Nazi and lost his life in the camps. Haskel took from me Father-in-Law’s jewels. But, finally, he didn’t help them. On Wednesday the vans came. Anja and I saw her father at the window. He was tearing his hair and crying. He was a millionaire, but even this didn’t save him his life. 14. Vladek and Art have finally arrived at the bank. Vladek shows Art a safety deposit box, where he keeps jewelry that he was able to hide in a chimney through the entire war.Vladek is convinced that Mala is only after his money. He becomes obsessed with this belief to the point that is drives her out of the house. When Mala runs off the Florida to escape the negativity of Vladek we only then learn how much she has had to put up with at home.No because he does not know her well. 15. As another Holocaust survivor, Mala, like Pavel, helps Art understand the different ways that survivors dealt with their Holocaust experience. Mala shares Art’s frustration with Vladek’s neuroses – his obsessive hoarding, his penny-pinching. 16. He is worried about how he is portraying his father in Maus, that in some ways, he has drawn him as a stereotypical, miserly, racist Jew.Although it is getting better, Art sees his father as a bit of a tyrant. This is especially true when he discovers that he burned Anja’s diaries. I think that if Art is attempting to be objective about his history, he should worry about this. 17. Art asks his father again about Anja’s diaries, and Vladek says that they can’t be found, because he burned them after Anja died. Vladek was depressed, and there were too many memories in those pages. All Vladek can remember about the content of the diaries is a sentence wishing that her son would one day be interested in them. Art is furious and screams at his father, calling him a murderer. 1. The story begins with a brief prologue, set in Rego Park (Queens), NY, in 1958. The narrator, Art Spiegelman, at this point a small boy, is on roller skates, racing with his friends to the schoolyard. He adds that episode to show how easily people can just forget.Arts & HumanitiesWriting
