    •  
    Chapter 5 // Why does Spiegelman include his older comic “Prisoner of Hell Planet?” What function does the comic-within-the-graphic novel serve? Why does Spiegelman include real photos of himself and his mother, Anja, at the beginning of “Prisoner”?
     
    Chapter 6 // Why is Art continually surprised that people, even family members, demand money before they will help the Jews? Why does Vladek seem to think these are stupid questions?
                            OR

    • Chapter 1 "The Shiek" // Obviously this “novel” differs from others we have read in class and may differ from others you have read in academic settings. Do you consider Maus a novel? If so, why? If not, what is it? How does the graphic nature of the text affect your reading experience? How does the form affect the content of the text? What two stories are going on in this narrative? Are you interested in one more than the other, why?
