Question 8 • DBN LA 6-CR

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

Answer

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

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

Explanation

All Rivers Run to the Sea is Elie Wiesel’s memoir, which recounts his experiences and includes his thoughts and feelings. Maus is Art Spiegelman’s graphic memoir, centered on his father Vladek’s experiences during the Holocaust. Maus also includes Spiegelman’s own perspective, but it is not a purely fictional account.
