After Reading Maus I&II

4/30
At one point, I tried to picture all
those bodies piled up and
burning.
The survivor that spoke to
my sixth grade class said we were
so skinny we were sexless.
So
I made sure the bodies I
imagined were of an indistinguishable
sex. The drawing of mice helped.
She saw a man take a baby by
the hair, and fling it as far as
he could and she did not flinch. She
watched as the lines were split
right and
left.

    particularly:

    "The drawing of mice helped."

    and

    "She
    watched as the lines were split
    right and
    left."

  2. i don't like the word "indistinguishable." but I am not sure if I am looking for a different word or a different rhythm or. . . something less sterile?
