Maus Part 2 (Extra)

After reading Maus 1 and Maus 2 I was able to see many similarities and differences between the two. First of all, one difference that I noticed was that Maus 2 seemed to break down the story line a lot more. However, the story line does seem to go in the same direction as the first. Another difference that I noticed in Maus 2 as opposed to Maus 1 is that it seemed to be a lot more detailed and therefore I enjoyed Maus 2 more. The details that Spegielman is able to really describe well in Maus 2 is when he starts explaining the torture that they went through. I found that Maus 1 was a difficult story to accept because of the storyline its only the beginning of the story, making Maus 2 even harder to accept because of the details of the tragic events that really took place. Although Maus 2 was a difficult story to read and accept because of the tragic events that are described, I really enjoyed reading it and definitely liked it better than Maus 1 because Spegielman provides more details.
