maus....
Okay so I am thinking about relating Alzheimer's Disease to Valdek since he seems to show the symptoms of having the disease plus I think if I can do this right, it will be an interesting way of looking at the text.
I used an article from Wikipedia, although a looked over some similar ones as well but all in all they stay the same.
Basically what the article strates is that Alzheimer's is an incurable disease relsulting in memory loss. THis disease is not well understood as to what causes is itl however things to prevent it include a healthy diet, and an overall cange of lifestyle. Stress is what is looked to as the main cause of this disease.
In relation to Maus, Valdek has all of the signs to having this disease. He calls Art by the name of his deceased son, he constantly relives the past. His body is not function prperly anymore resulting in his death. he also has mood swings, and troublecoping with up to date life is one of the biggest red flags in relation to this article.
THe amount of stress and harm done to his body while at Auchwitz, and also the death of his friends and his beloved Anya is what I believe diagnosed him with this disease.
With the symptoms of Alzheimer's and Valdek's personality he definately seems like a patient of the disease.
Here's the article information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alzheimer%27s_disease
