Question 2 • American Literature and Composition

Which accurately describes a contrast between Wiesel’s All Rivers Run to the Sea and Art Spiegelman’s graphic novel, Maus ?

Answer

Wiesel’s writing is loosely based on his own experiences, whereas Spiegelman’s narrative is purely imaginative.

Wiesel’s work relies on the memories of others, whereas Spiegelman’s account relies on the memories of one person.

Wiesel’s story includes his thoughts and feelings, whereas Spiegelman’s novel illustrates his father’s horrific experiences.

Wiesel’s narrative is a nonfiction account of the Holocaust, whereas Spiegelman’s novel is a fictional account.

Explanation

All Rivers Run to the Sea is Elie Wiesel’s memoir, so it recounts his experiences and includes his reflections and feelings. Maus is a graphic memoir in which Art Spiegelman depicts his father Vladek’s experiences during the Holocaust, as well as their relationship. Choice D is tempting, but Maus is based on real events and is not simply a fictional account.
