In conclusion, in this excerpt of the Maus, the author is trying to communicate with audience that if people are traumatized by something, it is hard for people to go back to normal life and even success can not bring happiness them. Therefore, he is criticizing the curelty of the Holocaust. To deliver his main argument successfully, he used stylistic devices such as diction like using word “shoot” ironically and symbolism like usage of mouse mask bodies of Jews.

Using these stylistic devices, the author developed pathos by exposing his guilt of not experienced same difficulties like his parents did.

The obvious conclusion to this page is that art is to distressed with all the publicity tha he has received leading to his representation in the story to fall apart at the seams. This also further establish the sort of lost perspective he has over the story due to him losing his loved one, and the many challenges he has on his personal life. You could also look at him continuing the story in the state he is in as a form of selfish depression due to him desperately trying to connect with his people, but can no longer handle the stress, because of the stories he was told by his father. Lastly the many bodies tat are on the floor could not only represent the lives lost in the war, but also all the personal demons he has faced at the time of publishing his novel.

In short, Art suffers from the successfulness of his work as he wears a mask to hide his self image from the world. The files, dead mice, and the jumping around timeline sets a tone that only gets deeper and depressing by the second. As imagery plays a significant role towards all of the diction Art chooses to uses. Nonetheless, the tale of a son losing his mother is the most devastating one of all. Art position into fame and losing a loved one really puts a person at stake of potientially losing there own life and unfortunately Art’s heartless heart had stopped beating.

In the book Maus, it demonstrated that the bags under his eyes, represent his stress from dealing with the trauma of his father’s death and his mother’s suicide. Also, that he found out that he is expecting a child with his wife. He is depressed, due to his survivor’s guilt and parent’s death. In the panel, it demonstrated a pile of death rats, to represent the bodies of all the Jews that were gassed in Auschwitz. The rats also represent his survivor’s guilt that he is going through as he is constantly haunted by the million of Jews who died.

The exercept of the graphic novel from Maus Book 2: Chapter 2 depicts the aftermath of Maus Book 1 and the effects that it had on the author. The purpose was to show that success does not ensure happiness through the author’s feelings of guilt and depression. In the given excerpt, the stylistic devices that were used were foreshadowing, imagery, and analogy through the graphic references and dialogue. The stylistic devices were successfully conveyed by the tone and mood of depression and gloom. Chapter 2 was able to convey the aftermath of Maus upon the author through its purpose, content, tone, mood, and stylistic devices with the use of the novel’s graphics.

The conclusion for this excerpt is how depressed he is. He is sitting over a table wearing a mouse mask. He was suddenly under the spotlight, getting interviewed. As he is sitting atop he exposes the bodies who have suffered through the holocaust only for his own personal gain. Him wearing the mask makes him not feel entitled as a Jewish, but he cannot stop his famous book (project) so his fake identity has become a part of him.

Throughout the chapter, Arthur Spiegelman expresses his emotions to the audience by using imagery and symbolism. He uses flies to portray death, a mask to hide his shame, pile of mice to show the many deaths of the holocaust. The purpose for why he wrote this book is to share his family’s story, to get people to see what they went through at the time. Although his book was a success, he’s still depressed and filled with survivor’s guilt. He got to share their story, but it’s still a constant reminder that these events happened and have a strong impact on him.

This page is for me very emotional. He talkes about his mother and father and how they are gone. He talks about very serios things. He makes himself Ku an try very t bond with the audience. Show that he is human as well. this was to shore a more emotion. he even has a mask on to show that’s he is hiding his depression. Been bough he has a child on the way he can’t shake the lives his parents lived and he has to come to terms with thqt even though he is only second generation Jew going through this

The comic strip, “Time flies…,” shows us how Art Spiegelman feels about writing Maus through both direct statements and stylistic devices. It could be inferred that Spiegelman was both depressed and guilty. Spiegelman never got to see the holocaust, however, he was surrounded by those who were affected personally. As a result, he could tell this story about the holocaust was one born out of hardship and countless bodies. Absolutely riddled with the stench of death. Spiegelman must have felt guilty writing such a story, such a personal experience, for the wider masses, even if it wasn’t written for the money or notoriety. That’s why he didn’t want to commercialize it via TV shows or movies. However, the bodies and flies are a double entendre. As time flies by, quite literally in this case, Spiegelman has begun to visualize the holocaust more and more vividly, like he was there himself. This, coupled with the previous feelings of guilt, led to his depression.

And Baka got a weird case, why is he around?
Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles

Once upon a time, all of us was in chains
Homie still doubled down callin' us some slaves
Atlanta was the Mecca, buildin' railroads and trains
Bear with me for a second, let me put y'all on game
The settlers was usin' townfolk to make 'em richer
Fast-forward, 2024, you got the same agenda
You run to Atlanta when you need a check balance
Let me break it down for you, this the real nigga challenge
You called Future when you didn't see the club (Ayy, what?)
Lil Baby helped you get your lingo up (What?)
21 gave you false street cred
Thug made you feel like you a slime in your head (Ayy, what?)
Quavo said you can be from Northside (What?)
2 Chainz say you good, but he lied
You run to Atlanta when you need a few dollars
No, you not a colleague, you a fuckin' colonizer
The family matter and the truth of the matter
It was God's plan to show y'all the liar

Money is the anthem of success
So before we go out, what's your address?
I'm your national anthem
God, you're so handsome
Take me to the Hamptons, Bugatti Veyron
He loves to romance 'em, reckless abandon
Holding me for ransom, upper echelon
He says to be cool but, I don't know how yet
Wind in my hair, hand on the back of my neck
I said, "Can we party later on?"
He said, "Yes, yes, yes"
Tell me I'm your national anthem
(Booyah, baby, bow, down, making me so wow now)
Tell me I'm your national anthem
(Sugar, sugar, how now? Take your body downtown)
Red, white, blue is in the sky
Summer's in the air and baby, heaven's in your eyes
I'm your national anthem
Money is the reason we exist
Everybody knows it, it's a fact (kiss, kiss)
I sing the national anthem while I'm standin'
Over your body, hold you like a python
And you can't keep your hands off me, or your pants on
See what you've done to me, King of Chevron
He said to be cool but, I'm already coolest
I said to get real, "Don't you know who you're dealing with?"
"Um, do you think you'll buy me lots of diamonds?"
Tell me I'm your national anthem
(Booyah, baby, bow, down, making me so wow now)
Tell me I'm your national anthem
(Sugar, sugar, how now? Take your body downtown)
Red, white, blue is in the sky
Summer's in the air and baby, heaven's in your eyes
I'm your national anthem
It's a love story for the new age, for the sixth page
We're on a quick, sick rampage
Winin' and dinin', drinkin' and drivin'
Excessive buyin', overdose and dyin'
On our drugs, and our love, and our dreams, and our rage
Blurrin' the lines between real and the fake
Dark and lonely, I need somebody to hold me
He will do very well, I can tell, I can tell
Keep me safe in his bell tower hotel
Money is the anthem of success
So put on mascara and your party dress
I'm your national anthem, boy, put your hands up
Give me a standin' ovation
Boy, you have landed, babe, in the land of
Sweetness and danger, Queen of Saigon
Tell me I'm your national anthem
(Booyah, baby, bow, down, making me so wow now)
Tell me I'm your national anthem
(Sugar, sugar, how now? Take your body downtown)
Red, white, blue is in the sky
Summer's in the air and baby, heaven's in your eyes
I'm your national anthem
Money is the anthem, God, you're so handsome
Money is the anthem of success
Money is the anthem, God, you're so handsome
Money is the anthem of success
Money is the anthem, God, you're so handsome
Money is the anthem of success
Money is the anthem, God, you're so handsome
Money is the anthem of success
