The Jewish museum follows a model of three major themes that run throughout Jewish history. One of the themes is tradition and the reinterpretation of traditions.

Throughout the museum, there were copies of the Torah in different structures such as the scroll made of parchment…

In the setting of “Maus 1: A Survivor’s Tale, My Father Bleeds History”, Art Spiegelman’s characters are far more iconic than they are particular. It is very difficult to distinguish each of the characters through looks alone, and the reader must do so through the dialogue, clothing, and the personality of the different characters. Spiegelman uses iconic characters rather than unique ones so as to separate the parties involved…

When individuals decide to migrate to a new nation or attend a collegiate institution that is distant from their home, the migration process influences their self-formation.

DYNASTIC INSTABILITY IN ISRAEL Throughout its history, Israel has had foreign influences, religious upheavals, and assassinations of the kings, causing severe instability within the nation. Amongst this unrest, it is no wonder a stable line of succession could form. All these factors contributed to the dynastic instability referenced in the biblical record and other sources. This is significant as the dynastic instability inevitably leads to fall of Israel and it’s capture by Assyria. Unlike…

Should the US require military conscription This paper will be talking about the fundamental question of if the US should require military conscription for certain citizens in the country. My personal belief is that military conscription should be required for everyone at the start of the age of eighteen for two years or directly after finishing high school, whichever would come first.

Since Art Spiegelman’s parents were the Holocaust survivors Art couldn’t have a “bad” day because his parents had seen worse than him and they would judge him on the basis of the smallest things he complained about. The novel Maus is different from the rest because of the…
