ead the excerpt from Wiesel’s All Rivers Run to the Sea. In this universe some men existed only to kill and others only to die.
And the system functioned with exemplary efficiency: tormenters tormented and crushed their prey, torturers tortured human beings whom they met for the first time, slaughterers slaughtered their victims without so much as a glance, flames rose to heaven and nothing ever jammed the mechanism. It was as if it all unfolded according to a plan decreed from the beginning of time. Read the text and study the images from Spiegelman’s Maus. Which is an accurate statement about the excerpt and panel? Both pieces describe the process by which the Nazis divided members of the Jewish communities. Both excerpts relate the experiences of the Jews once they arrived at the concentration camps. Both pieces depict the treatment the Jewish people endured during the brutal Nazi campaign. Both excerpts show how the camp was like a separate universe, operating with its own set of rules.
Both pieces depict the treatment the Jewish people endured during the brutal Nazi campaign is the correct answer.
Explanation:
All Rivers Run to the Sea is a book written by Elie Wiesel. It is his autobiography and there he explores his own childhood, and then life under the Nazi government. On the other hand, Maus: A Survivor's Tale is a graphic novel created by Art Spiegelman. It's his parents story in the same context, Jews living in Nazi territory.
In both excerpts (if Spiegelman's could also be considered like that) we can see how Jews were treated by the Nazis, being killed by them and also being tortured by them. Both are very graphical (in a very wide meaning of this word); while Wiesel uses anaphoras and strong words to create this effect, Spiegelman uses drawings and words.
Sample Response: Helen Keller could not see or hear. "With Anne Sullivan's help, Helen learned to communicate" ("Helen's Story"). Helen Keller described the day she met Anne Sullivan as "the most important day I remember in all my life" (Keller 23). Helen went on to become a very successful student and an inspiration to many people. [end]
