I found it very interesting how Vladek was being racist towards a colored person. Art's fiance argues with Vladek when he speaks poorly of a black man. "A hitch-hiker? and-oy-it's a colored guy, a shvartser. Push quick on the gas!" "That's outrageous! How can you, of all people be such a racist! You talk about black the way way the nazis talked about Jews"(98-99). WHile listening to Vladek's story, it would be very surprising to watch him act out on a person because of the color of his or her skin. It it very hypocritical of him to act this way.
Pages 43-47
The panels on pages 43-47, I believe, are very important to Art's story. The graphic in these panels are very important. Both Pavel and Art are wearing masks in these pages and Art seems to be smaller then Pavel, almost as he was a kid. "Maybe your father needed to show that he always right-that he could always SURVIVE- because he felt GUILTY about surviving"(45). We are able to understand Vladek a little better after listening to Pavel and his reasonings. I like how Pavel supports Vladek for his way of living.
