The Life of a Maus

            The book that I started reading is called Maus by Art Spiegelman. This book talks about the author as he was in part of the war back then in the 1900's. He was Jewish like many others. Nazi's where killing millions of Jews. this took part back then in World War 2. He was one of the few survivors who escaped through out the war. He was one of the lucky ones who the Nazi's didn't capture and kill. He wrote this about this too show what happened to millions of Jews in the war and what happened to him. Many Jews would be proud of Spiegelman for writing a story about what happened to him and all the Jewish people that died.
              In this book he wrote about himself in it. He made himself into a mouse and all his Jewish friends. He made the Nazi's people  pigs which demonstrated what they really were. This book reminded me of n article i read that had to do a lot with this book. They both had the event of the holocaust which was a bad time where all the Jewish people were punished but as well killed. the Nazi' people didn't only kill Jews but as well as homosexuals and others who weren't considered normal people. The two authors have a lot in common because they both could of been in the war where many Jews were killed. both might have written this book to show the terror of the Nazi's.

About The Holocaust

              The article that I read was about a dangerous time that affected many people. The most affected were the Jews. back in the 1940's Jews were treated like trash. This happened at the time where World War 2 began. The  people that attacked the Jew's were racist people known as the Nazi's. The Nazi's killed over 6 million Jew's because of their race. Even though the Jews were being killed, they weren't the only ones. Nazi's also persecuted homosexuals and other people who weren't like regular people. The main Nazi was Hitler who was like the leader of the Nazi's. Many Jews were being killed so German's build camps and different types of shelters to protect them during the war. But this didn't stop the Nazi's from attacking them.                                                                        
             In this article the author was trying to convey what the Holocaust was and what happened through it. He also wanted readers to know who were the victim's of the holocaust and the despicable people that killed them. These events were very important in history which was probably why this author wrote it. The author might have written this because he could of been one of the survivors in this war and wanted to write about it. This remained me of a book that I almost finished which was also about a Jew survivor that had also survived in the war. He wrote about this in a book called Maus. these two authors could really connect to the Jews that were killed our imprisoned through out this terrifying war.                                                                                                                        
              I could really not connect to this article because first of all I'm not Jewish or born in the early 19 hundreds like the people that were killed. I feel that no person should be killed because of their race or because their different. A question that i came up with after i read this poem was why attack Jewish people. All Jewish people didn't have to do anything in this war but they were killed in vain. After the war ended almost every Jewish person was devastated. Many Jew's moved away from their country and moved to the the U.S. Many Jewish people also went to Israel. In all of the wars that have occurred in history, to me the Jews have been punished most of all. Now Know one is killed because of their race or because their different, especially Jewish people who have suffered most of all.

The Death of a close friend

         The ending to this book Cirque Du Freak "The Vampire Prince" was very epic and disastrous for some people in the story. No one could have seen what happened at the ending of this book. The evil mastermind that was close to becoming the new vampire prince, that betrayed the whole vampire clang and joined the vampinize clang confessed himself of what he did. This was one of the most shocking moments in this whole book since no one would of guessed that the traitor would confess himself. Now something horrible awaited Kurda at the end of the story. I never thought that Kurda would confess himself so easily because his plan was going good in till Darren came.
        Last time while i was reading this some of Kurda's bodyguards came in to protect him but he said that he didn't need anything so they killed themselves. Right after that one of the vampire princes asked Kurda what he was plotting. At first he didn't respond but then he said that the evil vampinize were coming to Vampire Mountain and were going to attack. The Princes were outraged of what Kurda had been plotting so they sent him to immediately Termination. Darren was proud of what he accomplished and saved Vampire Mountain from a huge attack, but not fully. Darren went back to his room after this so that the Princes would decide what will happen to Darren. Darren later confronted the vampires to discuss of a plan to stop the vampinize from getting inside the halls. Darren thought of a plan that had to do with spiders. The princes went along with it. Many of the cave spiders in Vampire Mountain attacked the vampinize which distracted them so that the vampires would deliver a sneak attack. The vampires managed to defeat the all the vampinize but one of Darren's closest friend Ara died by a stab in the stomach.
          The Vampires managed to defeat the vampinize in this battle due to the idea of Darren. Ara never made it from her injuries and was going to be cremated with Gavner. And for Kurda, he was sent to the hall of death to die in millions of needled for betraying the vampire clan. Darren was asked to go to the hall of princes one more time to accept his fate. The princes eyed Darren in a serious way. The young vampire was expecting death but of what he did to protect many vampires from dying he was rewarded. His teacher could not believe what the princes said to Darren. Spoiler Alert: Darren was announced to be a VAMPIRE PRINCE. Darren was in shock and so was eye because like Mr.Crepsley said "He is just a boy, he is not ready for such big duties" The young boy that was living a normal life is now becoming a vampire prince that everyone respected.
