Final Essay Topic Choices

Topic 1: Write an essay in which you compare Art Spiegelman's Maus to a more traditionally formatted story assigned for this class or a comic book you are familiar with.

Use the definition of modernism given in the Terms lecture from Week 3. Make sure to explain what modernism is and show how the texts you chose demonstrate modernism.
