Due Friday: 100 point assignment—for 100 points you must write this as a five paragraph essay (includes an intro w/thesis, 3 body paragraphs, and a conclusion). You can choose to directly answer the questions (non-essay form) but the highest grade you can get is an 80/100.  
Respond to the following questions and be sure to use quotes and examples from the book to support your arguments:
1. Why does the author choose to depict the humans as animals in MAUS? How does this affect the story?
2. What does using animals to depict humans show about Artie's feelings about his father’s experience during the Holocaust?
