Post 13 - Zarif

After finishing The Maus, there were few instances of this book section that got me thinking of its similarities with Jonathan Foer's Eating Animals and Nicholas Carr's The Shallows respectively.  If it weren't for its graphical content, it would be very hard for me to finish up The Maus compared to the other two books. One thing for sure, is the gloomy tones that all these three works had provided to the audience which rhetorically highlights the seriousness of some parts of their argument. For example, both Foer's and Carr's works tells the audience of its severity until the end and that we were in a hopeless state to start with. While similar to those books, Spiegelman's comic shows mainly stories of the past where the severities had already happened to some of us and though this events had even have slight happy endings; it does not alter the whole austerity of the happenings which had already carved the readers mindset. 

All these three books also complemented the fact that the number one antagonist of their arguments is not even a villain in todays world, with the first two coexisted because of humans errors and faults. In short, these books are blaming everything back at human for three different claims. In the case for Foer's, humans crime comprise of use being responsible of treating animals cruelly and inhumanely. Carr's case tells that basically other human invention leads to another humans degradations such as to what the internet brings negatively to us in nowadays world. As for the last book, the main race for the villain was led by Nazi germans as according to the history of mankind. Although all three of these so called antagonist had been put way much criticism throughout each respective books, it falls down to how the readers would interpret the message clearly. in terms of presentations, The Maus used similar style of presenting chapters as to The Shallows and Eating animals respectively. This is shown with many styles of swirls, lines and attractive sub-headlines that make it through our attention from our brains in general.
