  1. Vladek is a MULTIFACETED character • You are going to make a claim about Vladek and then find two examples that prove your claim. (The circles and the triangles.) • You will share your findings with your group and evaluate. • The group will choose 1, tweak it if need be, and then “publish it” on a large piece of paper.

  2. Interconnectedness Your two examples need to relate to each other… Non Example: Anja is weak because she TAKES PILLS and was TOO EASY ON ARTIE. EXAMPLE: Anja has a weak constitution as evidenced by her POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION which prompted her STAY IN A SANITARIUM.

  3. Secret--- pick proof that lends itself to connection. Think about relationships/connections… Is there an example from Vladek as a young man that has gotten worse as he has gotten older? Does one example cause another thing to happen? (like Anja’s depression causes her to go to the sanitarium?)

  13. IV. Deeper Layers • Are you carrying something? BAGGAGE! • “Baggage” is cliché for something hidden that you are carrying with you on the inside… a burden, or secret, or bad experience…. • So, if a character is literally carrying something, it could mean that they are figuratively carrying something. Page 68-9…. • It’s MORE THAN a MEAL SCENE • They are sharing food… means they share something else • It could be a common fate…some sort of connection internally… Page 74…

  14. Who is the SUBJECT of this story? (Art) • What is the “prison” made of? (Guilt) • Why did Artie write it? (Catharsis; to unburden himself/baggage) • What does Artie call his mom on the last page? (murderer)

  15. Why does Vladek burn the papers? • Anja committed suicide • They had too many memories • They were about the Holocaust • He married Mala •  …murderer. Who is he talking to? Why is _____ a murderer?
