Maus Chapter 6

   Why does Art worry about the way he’s portraying his father, Vladek in the book?

• He's worried that he is showing his father as being too strong

• He's worried that his dad fits the stereotype of a "racist, miserly old Jew"

How does Janina, the governess react when Vladek and Anja come to her for help?

• She slams the door in their faces and tells them to leave

• She welcomes them with open arms

• She calls the police

• She wasn't home when they came by

Why does Vladek ride in the official streetcar with the Germans, rather than in the second car with the Poles?

• Because a lot of his friends are Germans

• Because he doesn't like the Poles

• Because the German car is more comfortable

• Because the Germans don't pay him any attention when he rides in their car, but he'd be easily noticed in the car with the Poles

How does Vladek escape from the children who were playing on the street and screaming, “A Jew!!!”

• He ran as fast as he could

• He threw a bottle at them and chased them away

• He walked over to them and pretended to be German, even saying "Heil Hitler!"
