Summer Post #4

I choose this book because I was told that it was about World War 2 and I am fascinated with World War 2. The attention to this book was that my mom read this book and told me that it was a good book and she saw it on the list and got excited. I was also drawn to read the book when I figured out that the book was narrated my Death I found that to be cool and different from many other books. I am very happy to know that I don’t have many personal connections to the novel. I don’t have to live in poverty,  never had to hide something, not  lost a sibling, not had the desire to steal,  not  live in a war situation never the less I did make a connection. The personal connection that I drew from The Book Thief was the power of friendship. My friends and I are also connected by things that we have in common like for instance me and my friends love sports just as Liesel and Rudy both love to steal. My friends and I our hobby that connects us is not criminal it still stick us together just like Liesel and Rudy. I would recommend this book to a wide audience especially those who have an interest in the World War 2 era and who want a different perspective on how the war and the pervious war took effect on the people of Germany.   

Summer Post #3

“Late in March, a place called Lubeck was hailed with bombs. Next in line would be Cologne, and soon enough, many more German cities, including Munich.


Yes, the boss was at my shoulder.


‘Get it done, get it done.’


 


The bombs were coming-and so was I.”(Page 335)

This part of the book is really confusing if you didn’t know that this whole quote was narrated by death. The bombs were coming was also saying that death was coming to collect the dead bodied souls. This quote is about the middle of the book when you really know that its death that is narrating this book because the next chapter is called “Death’s Diary: Cologne” (Page 336). The part after the colon was one of the cities that was to be bombed. This tells you about what the whole chapter is to be about it is about death describing the bombing and describing the death caused by the bombs. Munich was the city that our Protagonist was living in so it was important because it was a BIG clue about future of what will be in the book. . The line ‘Yes, the boos was at my shoulder’ I still don’t know the meaning I am guessing that he is describing Hitler if not then I don’t know  you will have to read the book yourself to find out.
