social awarness issues in my book

• anti semitism
• death
• hopelessness
• survival. 

i want to write about anti antisemitism because i am reading MAUS and that is the main topic in the book. MAUS, with the bulk of the book about a Jew who is in the holocaust you would assume that the book would be very antisemitic. before i read this book i had read many other books about the holocaust, Milkweed, Uncle Misha's Partisans and The Diary Of Anne Frank to name a few. MAUS really stuck out to me though because it was about the overall mix of the holocaust and the war and how they both sometimes collided. i also really likes MAUS because it was a graphic novel. most of the other books i have read have been about a specific thing, like being in hiding, being a partisan, or being in a ghetto. but what was great about MAUS is that it wasn't actually people, they were various animals i will give you a key

the Jews- mice
the polish- pigs
the Germans- cats
the Americans- dogs
the french- frogs
the russians- not said

i am really suprised that you can get such a convincing and point telling message through animals so that really impressed me
