I think that the book Maus and knight complemented each other by showing details such as they find old Friends, they both are afraid of losing someone, and they both show teamwork to stay alive.
The first thing that both books have in common is that they both find old friends in there journey though the Holocaust. In the book Night Elie Wiesel found his Rabbi from his home town of Sighet. He seems happy when they meet again. "It was Rabbi Eliahou, the rabbi of a small polish community"(86). This must be a vary emotional experience for Elie seeing someone that he thought he would never see again. In the book Maus II Vladek comes in contacted with a family member. When he is coming out of the shower he hears someone yell "UNCLE!UNCLE!"(27). It turns out that his Nephew was yelling at him. "So uncle...you've ended up hear too"(27). This must be very shocking that he sees a family member that he has been writing to. In both book the main characters have met some people from the past which would give them a objective to fight on thought.
The second thing that they have in common is that they are both afaid of losing some one. In the book "Night", Elie is afraid of being seprated from his father. "I certaninly do. But on one condittion: I want to stay with my father"(46). In this part of the book Elie is faced with a decision of choosing to go in a good group. But dose not want to be seperated. This must be a hard chocie to make, but in the end i think he makes the right chose. In the book "Maus" Vladek has to make a big bribe so that Anja would be able to move to the new barracks next to his. "It could be 'arranged' for 100 cigarets and a bottle vodka. but this was a fortune"(64).
So Vladek saves up so he can do this but it all gets stolen but he is able to save up anyways. He dose this becuse he dose not want to see Anja moved away. The main character has to make some big decision and sacrifice to stay in contaced with loved ones.
The third thing that the two books have in common is that the main characters have to help eachother along. In the book "Night" Elie has to yell at his father to keep him going. "'father!' I screamed. 'father! get up from hear! immediately! you're killing yourself...."(100). This is Elie yelling at his dad to keep him going.
in the book "maus" Vladek has to make a hiding spot in his house to hid him and his family. "Therfore I arranged for us a vary good hiding spot-in our cellar, where it was coal stoarage"(110). This must have been a lot fo work for Vladek, and he must have had to give up a lot to help his famliy. So in both books the characters have to do somthing for others to keep them and threr love ones alive.
Like the book "fallen angles" and the moveie "Restrepo" had to do alot with war and team work. Those books also you could make many conations betewwn the two. The book "Night" and "Maus" go togather vary well. The main characters show many things in common that you can ralate between both books. They have to overcome the same things, and they have times of strugle and times of happyness. Theses two books go togather like hand and hand. I would highly recomend reading both books next year just becuse they go togather so well.
