Reflection # 10 Semester blog

This semester we had the opportunity to take different aspects of literature the first one was short stories, poems, drama and then comics. Some were nice others were confusing, boring and sometimes hard. The one I liked the most was the shorts essays. And the least I liked was the poems. I don't relate to finding the sound, the ambiance, the metrics on each poem. They were cool because they talk about death and the different ways people perceived them.

Reflection # 9 Reaction to Maus

Maus was a very interesting reading. If the professor gave this reading in novel or normal book I would not have read it. I started reading Maus because it seemed nice that it was on comics strips. I'm not into reading anything but it was not a bad experience. This is the first time I read or see this story about the Jews, Germans, Polish, American and French people. What I like the most was the part of the supposedly water on the showers and it was Zyklon B (a gas) to burn the alive and that was the only way they could left that place. Also it was very interesting the way they put cat, mice, moose, dogs, pigs and frogs. I don't thinks its an insult because like the evolution theory says we are animals in some way. But it was kind of disgusting how they managed to put a frog on the story. They are cold, slimy & ugly. I don't think they were calling the French a prince before kissing. I also like the picture at the end of the book in which you can see Spielgman with a mice mask. I think he relates a lot with Maus.
