These posts are all short (<180 words) introductions\/reviews of books in the EL library. They focus on telling you what we think will be interesting for you, a college student and English learner, so use them to help you find the right book for you. You can also use the <\/em>tags<em> to find books about topics you might be interested in.]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>_______<\/p>\n<p>This is the book that changed how average Americans thought about comic books. Until <em>Maus<\/em> started becoming popular, comics were \u201cjust for kids.\u201d After <em>Maus<\/em>, people started calling them \u201cgraphic novels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Maus<\/em> tells the story of Art Spiegelman\u2019s Jewish mother and father during the Holocaust and how they survived the concentration camp at Auschwitz. Don\u2019t be scared, though: the story is about humans surviving terrible things, not about <em>showing<\/em> those terrible things. It also tells the story of Art\u2019s relationship with his father in the 1980s, and there are some humorous parts, too.<\/p>\n<p>Note: Art\u2019s father does not speak American English, he speaks eastern-European English, so this is a good book to practice reading World English, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My two cents:<\/strong> This is a serious book, and it is a seriously good book. You should read it. Everyone should read it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1581\" src=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/maus-219x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"219\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/maus-219x300.png 219w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/maus.png 429w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Welcome to the EL Book Introductions series.
