In addition to covey how strengthening
family is, Anja is in the state of nearly giving up, but with Vladek support saying “Until the last
moment we must struggle together” (Maus 1, 122). This builds up the strength that not all of her
family members are deceased. Anja accepts the fact that her loved ones are critical and that helps
her push forward with all her courage. Detail helps the reader to comprehend and break down the
meaning of “Maus 1 and Maus 2.”
Another key point is how symbolism illustrates the emphasis on family. While Vladek is
at the POW Camp, he struggles with life at the camp, but a Rabbi approaches him explaining
“Parshas Truma.” (Maus 1, 58). This quote brings nostalgia towards Vladek recalling the day he

married his wife, and also the week Artie was born. As a result, he is optimistic knowing he had
a family. Furthermore, to show the impact of family, Vladek’s father in law says, “I’ve donated a
lot to the gemeinde the Jewish community organization and Wolfe works there…so we get a
little extra,” (75) The quote presented shows the willingness of helping another family member.
This strengthens the relationship with his wife and her family. The Rabbi and the father in

• At the beginning of Night, Eliezer describes himself as someone who believes “profoundly.” How have his experiences at Auschwitz affected that faith?
Blood runs thicker than water. Art Spiegelman portrays a story through a non-traditional form of literature. Humans are not drawn; however, animals are used to represent a different group of individuals. The mice are the Jews, the Cats are the Germans, and the pigs are the Poles. Albeit the clear-cut framework, Maus is a novel that paints the horrors of the Holocaust and the aftermath. Spiegelman interviews his father, Vladek, for his personal recollection and experience from the tragedy. The novel itself is divided into two volumes, developing the characters over the span of both. The concept of family is emphasized through Vladek’s relationship with Art. The past serves as a barrier between Vladek and Art; creating communicational issues,
The daughter alludes to an idea that her mother was also judged harshly and made to feel ashamed. By the daughters ability to see through her mothers flaws and recognize that she was as wounded as the child was, there is sense of freedom for both when the daughter find her true self. Line such as “your nightmare of weakness,” and I learned from you to define myself through your denials,” present the idea that the mother was never able to defeat those that held her captive or she denied her chance to break free. The daughter moments of personal epiphany is a victory with the mother because it breaks a chain of self-loathing or hatred. There is pride and love for the women they truly were and is to be celebrated for mother and daughter.
"A prolonged whistle split the air. The wheels began to grind. We were on our way" (Wiesel 38). Eliezer has no idea what he is up for, neither does the other 79 people crammed in the cattle car with him. In the unbearable heat of the suffocating air, the poor citizens of Sighet try to calm their thirst and hunger (Wiesel 39-40), unaware of the danger that awaits for them. When they arrive in Birkenau, a concentration camp, the feared selection separates Eliezer and his father from his mother and sister. The struggle begins. Elie and his father endeavor to stick together while enduring through excruciating labor, malnourishment, and pain in concentration camps. From beatings to never-ending threats to such fatigue that Eliezer would rather die than live, World War II turns Elie's world into a living nightmare. However, the Holocaust's tough blade brought Elie's affection, faithlessness, and perseverance to light in Night by Elie Wiesel himself.
Rick Riordan once said, “Families are messy. Immortal families are eternally messy. Sometimes the best we can do is to remind each other that we're related for better or for worse...and try to keep the maiming and killing to a minimum.”. Families are the foundation of a person’s life, and contribute in the molding of how a person turns out for the rest of their life. Families can be very united allowing a person to grow up to do something extraordinary with their life; however they can also be disastrous and separated causing people to face larger issues with themselves in the future. In the novel In Cold Blood written by Truman Capote, one of the themes the author develops is of family life, the novel shows how any family can be destroyed, and is a factor into shaping a person to whom they will be.

Everyone is born into some form of family, with the family taking the responsibility of nurturing, teaching the norms or accepted behaviors within the family structure and within society. There are many types of families, which can be described as a set of relationships including parents and children and can include anyone related by blood or adoption. Family is the most important, “for it is within the family that the child is first socialized to serve the needs of the society and not only its own needs” (Goode, 1982).
