Summer Post #2

The main characters in this book all have their own features just like in any other book but as I have found out have a different narrator which is death. Liesel desires to have her brother back. This is also why she is keeping hold of the book she found when they buried her brother. Liesel’s mama as she calls her wants to not have to do the rich peoples laundry. She is so much like my sister and most people where she hates the rich people  but shows kindness and once the door is shut and they cannot hear her she swear about their existence. Papa also wants something and that thing is for Liesel to be happy because he care for her and shows his love to her. Liesel’s friend Rudy wants two things one is for Liesel to kiss him and the other is to be like Jesse Owens the African American track star. It is sad though because his dad is part of the Nazi party and told his son that he should not like to become like Jesse Owens because he is not a part of the Arian Race. He asked his dad and he did not have an answer which leads me to the theme that is appearing and that is that if you have questions with no answers go and find them out yourself.

The major characters in the book are Liesel Meminger, who is the Main Character, but two other major characters that Liesel has been told to call them mama and papa. Another major character is Rudy who is Liesel’s best friend. The setting is in Germany during when Hitler was in power but so far not yet into World War 2. Liesel has had nightmares since she arrived at her foster parent’s house. The nightmares are about her brother. Papa comes in and calms down Liesel when she wakes up screaming from the dream. Liesel has now started to make friends with all of the neighboring kids. At this point the Jewish people now are getting their stores closed on them. I predict that Liesel and Rudy are both going to get themselves into trouble trying to steal books and keep them. I feel this way because I know of the Nazi book burnings and I have a feeling that Liesel and Rudy are going to try and get some of the books that the Nazi Party is burning. I also think that they are going to have to hide the books that they have from the Nazi Party. This book reminds me of The movie “All Quiet on the Western Front, ” because it is about WW1 and it was also a book that the Nazi party wanted destroyed so that the people of Germany would not think that war was and awful thing.
