In Maus and Night both authors have their own unique style about them. In Maus the author portrays his story through visuals in the form of a comic book and depicts the Jews and the Germans and cats to help bring a sense of how helpless and small they were compared to the German captors. In Night however, the author takes a more serious note and goes into great detail about his time in Auschwitz. He does this through his powerful use of the English language that really makes this story hit home. Maus and Night are both similar however, in the fact that they tell the story of a survivor. They both tell of hope, love, and sheer will to live. In Maus this is shown through Vladek's actions and will to save himself and the ones around him. He was almost always hopeful and always showed love and compassion to those he encountered. In Night this is shown by the author himself. He kept himself alive in order to give his father hope. He loved his father and wanted only to make him happy in such times of despair, even if it meant his suffering. Maus and Night were both great books to read. I would completely recommend this book to anyone and everyone. These books really helped me understand exactly how terrible the Holocaust really was. These books shined a whole new light on the Holocaust and compliment each other nicely.
