@Megaaan1415 I agree. It reminds of a time when I went to Israel, and a guy in our tour group was freaking out because the restaurant was out of hotdogs. I was like you're in Israel and mad about hodogs! Eat some real Israeli food!#luawl

"They had distrusted Monsieur Papin's assertion that Babette could cook. In France, they knew, people ate frogs"(32). Honestly, the sisters fear of foreign foods reminds me of my Papaw:) I've had frog before. It's good! #luawl

@hudsonrice2 Yes, I actually really like the epistolary novel style. The last one I read with this style was Screwtape Letters. It's a bit of a change! #luawl

"Eight months later, I slit Mr. Ashok's throat"(36). Is just me or does the writer have some interesting transitions? You go from speading an afternoon in your hometown to talking about murder with impressive speed. #luawl

@Megaaan1415 I loved that moment too! I think we as people always identify with people standing up for themselves because it has been something we all had to do at one point. Eleanor Roosevelt once said “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” #luawl

This was how I imagined Marjane'a Grandmother looked after Marjane laughed about getting an innocent man arrested. #luawl

@AnnaBis40813751 I think you are right! If she was a superhero, her power would be her voice. #luawl

"Our behavior in public and our behavior in private were polar opposites...This disparity made us schizophrenic"
(305). You don't have to be in a repressive culture to experience this... #luawl

@AnnaBis40813751 I think part of the reason was that she was a child. This reminded me of her phase where she thought she wanted to a prophet. #luawl

"Anoosh has the right to only one vistor and it's you he wants to see"(68). This was so sad! #luawl

[Cierra Roseberry @CierraENGL306]

@hudsonrice2 lol. I think it is humorous that Gogol refuses to even read his namesake until the end. It seems the harder people push him to read, the more he refuses too. It reminds me of my cousin...#luawl

[Cierra Roseberry @CierraENGL306]

"They are not willing to accept, to adjust, to settle for something less than their ideal of happiness"(276). If this Gogol's outlook on life, no wonder he never achieves what he wants. Gogol is chasing a chimera. #luawl

@irellievent So true! Parts of the book were really heavy. I thought the present provide comic relief. Vladek's counting of all the pills reminded me of my grandparents. #luawl

"I speak German as well as Polish- That's why I'm A Kapo...If [the allies] win this war, it will be worth something to know English!"(Maus II 192). This character certianly seemed to cover all his bases, so no matter what, he comes out the true winner. #luawl

[Cierra Roseberry @CierraENGL306]

@AnnaBis40813751 Oh! You're right! I can see it. The guy from UP was also always griping about people who did not do things the way he did. However, I don't think he threw away anyone's coat because he didn't like it...#luawl

[Cierra Roseberry @CierraENGL306]

"International Laws protected us a little as Polish War Prisoners. But a Jew of the Reich, anyone could kill in the streets!"(Maus I 63). A tryant always claims to follow the law, but really they replace the law with them self. #luawl

[Cierra Roseberry @CierraENGL306]

@AnnaHostetler7 This is so true! The things we remember do take on greater symbolizism than when they seemed in the moment. #luawl

[Cierra Roseberry @CierraENGL306]

"It may be argued that the past is a country from which we have all emigrated, that its loss is part of our common humanity"(12). #luawl

[Cierra Roseberry @CierraENGL306]

@AnnaHostetler7 Very true! War certainly brings out the fact that everyone is capable of sin. Thankfully, this world isn't our home! #luawl

[Cierra Roseberry @CierraENGL306]

"She entered the story knowing she would emerge from it feeling she had been immersed in the lives of others."I can relate! Any one else want to live a life not their own? #luawl
