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.
