Night and maus

Theses two books are very similiar they are both about the brutal and terrifying holocaust. Both protaganists went to auschwitz and it seemed as if they both had similiar feelings about the whole ordeal. Both characters also end up in hospitals where they are treated better and get much more food. Both Night and Maus are very similar books because both charcters have the same feeling throught the whole book, DEATH. That is the # 1 thing always on their mind. They both also share the same desire to escape free from the nazi's. At the end of the book they both also end up on the march.

Both charcters are very similar but a difference between them is their pre war history. In maus art's father is a skilled craftsman and he is also a shoe repair man and that dirasticly helps him later on throught his time with the nazi's. However in night it was very different. Elie at the time was a child and could not really get a good grip on what was coming with the nazi's. He also had to help his father throught the book and elie had no specials skills that would help him in auschwitz. He was also almost brainwashed by other jews. the other jews were telling him to abandon his father and fend for himself. Whic he did contemplate on almost doing.
I believe that night was more of a book that i liked to read about the holacaust, because i felt like maus was to childish for such a serious event that happened. Maus would be a great book for a child to read about the holocaust becasue it is not as dark as night was. I believe an adult should read night because it more realistic in how things went down.

Writing of restrepo

Fallen angles and restrepo have defianatley changed my view of life. Restrepo showed me alot more of war and what it entails than fallen agels did. It made me realize how much more I value my independence and safety and freedome because of how restrepo died. He died for me and my freedom. And all the people in the platoon give up their safety for me so I can have safety. It also made me realize how can humans fight humans it just seems wrong. We all live on earth and if their was world peace it would be a different world.

Restrepo prewrite

One comparsion that happened is the cleaning of guns in restrepo and you get the visual of it and in the book they say they do it.    Another comparison is the hooches. I would just think that they were like tents because that is kind of how they described it in the book. But in restrepo their made out of wood and are alot bigger than i thought.     Also in the book fallen agels you can read about the wear that war has on people but in restrepo you really see it. Like how in the interviews alot of them cry and remember what happened.     Also how in restrepo everyone becomes buddies and friends and in the book you can see that as well.      the connection of people at war and their families you see that alot in restrepo and the book.     the guns though sounds different in the movie then the book.     Also how the soldiers interact with the civilians in restrepo you really see how difficult it is to do.     how the people pass the time to in the book they talk alot but in the movie they spend alot of time alone.     Also how in the movie restrepo died in the helicopyer and in the book i am pretty sure brew did as well.   A comparison as well is how much time people spen writing or looking at pictures of family. in the movie they look at pictures alot and in the book they write to famalies alot.
