Freedom


We were taken to a nice wooden house. We got soup and we got bread... “Look a stove!” “And real beds!” “With sheets and pillows!” and for a whole day we only rested and got back our strength.  Jewish prisoners, Maus, (pg.50)


This quote shows how the Nazis treated their prisoners because before that he was outside and he barely got any food then Vladek signed up for a job and then he got better living conditions but later in the book he had to do more work. I can connect this to when someone gets grounded then they don’t get anything all they have to do is do their chores and I can connect this to a labor camp because they don’t have any rights and all they have to do is work. If you were in control of someone do you think they would feel free?


This quote reminds me of freedom because if a Jew was able to walk freely without getting yelled at or getting beat they would probably feel great because they were able to walk to where they needed to go and they didn't have someone making them nervous. It also connects to if someone was grounded and they didn't get to go on the TV or the computer but when they were ungrounded they would be happier and feel like they have  a little more freedom.
