Read the excerpt from Wiesel’s All Rivers Run to the Sea.

To this day I am shaken when I see a child, for behind him I glimpse other children. Starving, terrified, drained, they march without a backward glance toward truth and death—which are perhaps the same. Uncomplaining, unprotesting, asking no one’s pity, it is as if they have had enough of living on a planet so cruel, so vile and so filled with hate that their very innocence has brought their death.

Read the text and study the images from Spiegelman’s Maus. plz helppp fastt

The correct answer would be B. Both the cartoon of Maus and the book of All Rivers Run to the Sea, share the common denominator of portraying the way in which the Holocaust affected not just children but entire Jewish families. The reason for this being the correct answer is the following. All Rivers Run to the Sea, is an unusual autobography written by Elie Wiesel about his experiences as a child during the Holocaust. He was a survivor of this event in history and what he does is re-tell his own experience through a story and using historical information as well. His intention was literally to portray his childhood life within the timeframe of the German extermination of Jews. In the case of Art Spiegelman, a Swedish-born Jew whose family emigrated to America when he was born, with his comic of Maus, what he wants to portray is the relationship he, as a child, developed with his Holocaust-surviving father. Maus is clearly a comic that shows the interaction of families and people during the time of the Holocaust and it also portrays the way this affected children. In his comics, the Germans are always depicted as cats, the Jews as mice and the Polish people, that´s where his parents were from, as pigs.
