Paulsen spent most of his life in the wilderness of Minnesota, Alaska, and Canada, hunting since the age of 12. His first gun was a Remington single-shot bolt action .22 rifle. It meant he could aim carefully, because it took a long time to reload. As Paulsen’s family was poor, he had to hunt for food.

The New York Times television critic who reviewed Minow's article wrote :

Hey there LegendMan!

So, based on my reading of this passage from above, I see how this man watches (tv) and that the users that watch it may  know a little more.

So, based on my information, it seem's like that answer could be "<span>Viewers know more about television than those who broadcast it." This may sound weird, but it was clear in the passage that this was the case.

Hope this helps.

Both Wiesel's All Rivers Run to the Sea and Spiegelman's Maus relate events of the Holocaust
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

A) From a Jewish survivor's perspective.

Explanation:

In <em>All Rivers Run to the Sea</em>, Elie Wiesel tells us about his own experience under Nazis oppression and gruesome treatment of the Jews. He is a Jew, a writer and a survivor of the Holocaust, so in his work, we can <em>experience </em>the very essence of what was going there. Though his works made him famous, he said that those honors are a burden because he would rather like that his sister Tsiporah stayed alive, that Holocaust did not happen and book left unwritten.

Artie Spiegelman used his father Vladek`s vivid memories for writing <em>Maus. </em>He made hours and hours of interviews which included prewar, war and after war period.  Vladek with his first wife Anja were first sent into segregated neighborhoods (ghettos) and then going through several Nazi camps. They tried to escape several times, but always unsuccessfully. In that time they had a young son Richie who they sent to a different ghetto to be with his aunt, but after she found out about sending them to the camp, she pois oned her children, Richie and herself. After the war, Anja was deeply disturbed and she committed sui cide. Vladek continued his life, but haunted by terrible past.
