How do Vladek and Anja get captured? 

• A child sees them.

• A family member tells the Germans about them.
• The smuggler calls the Gestapo and alerts them.

On page 149, Vladek passes some children playing, and they all recognize that he is a Jew and run away in terror. This is an example of...

• normal behavior
• the influence of German propaganda
• a childish fear of mice
• Post-traumatic stress disorder 

Why is Mala crying when Artie walks in the room at the beginning of ch. 6 (p. 130)?

• She doesn't feel good.
• She feels like Vladek doesn't treat her well. 
• She is scared.
• She hurt her knee.

On page 132 Mala said that Vladek uses paper towels from restrooms so he won't have to buy napkins or tissues. Why does Vladek do this?

• Vladek thinks Artie should buy his paper towels, napkins, and tissues for him.
• Vladek is too poor to buy paper products. 
• When hiding during the war, Vladek eats and uses whatever he could find or was given. Vladek continues to act like this (in survival mode) way after the war into old age. The war changed Vladek's personality.
• Vladek won't buy items he thinks Mala wants to use - just to be mean to her

Why does Artie say Vladek is "like a racist caricature of the miserly old Jew"?

• He makes Mala wear Anja's clothes
• He saves napkins from restaurants so he doesn't have to buy
• He doesn't like giving Mala money
• All of the above

• It was cheaper
• It was more comfortable

Why does Mrs. Motonowa kick the Spiegelmans out of her house?

• They were unable to pay her
• They were too noisy
• She fears the Gestapo will raid her house
• They ate too much

How does Vladek get out of trouble when the children point at him and scream "A JEW!"?

• He runs away.
• He begs for their sympathy.
• He stays and pretends he's not a Jew.
• He confesses but the let him go anyway.
