Mrs. Linde was not as privileged as Nora was--she had to accept responsibility and work hard for her money. Mrs. Linde's acceptance of responsibility draws attention to Nora's abandonment of her father. When her father was sick, she chose to spend all of her time caring for her husband and waiting for the arrival of her child, then to find any time to go and visit him. Nora did whatever she could to raise money to go on a trip to save Torvald's life and did not think once about visiting her dying father. During the friend's conversation, it was actually Mrs. Linde that brought up her father. When Nora was discussing how difficult it was to get away and go to Italy, because she had just had her child, she failed to mention that her father had passed away during that time and could have contributed to the difficult timing. Mrs. Linde is the one who had brought up the death of Nora's father in the conversation, in which Nora replied "yes...wasn't it dreadful, I couldn't go look after him. I was expecting little Ivar any day. And then I had my poor Torvald to care for--we really didn't think he'd live. Dear, kind Papa! I never saw him again", (Ibsen, 374). Mrs. Linde's priority was taking care of her mother; Nora's priority was raising money to take her husband on a trip to care for him while completely abandoning her father. Mrs. Linde's responsible actions exaggerate Nora's irresponsibility and neglect.

She doesn’t seem that interested in getting to know people, as much as she is interested in keeping money to survive and supporting her habit. Due to the lack of love Rosa received from her mother she had no motivation to stop what she was doing and change for the better.
Over time, they find things that draw them together and they become close friends. This is amazing because at the time Germans were completely against Jews and the only thing most of them wanted for them was for them was to be sent to concentration camps.

Eventually, they overcome their fears and nightmares. Liesel also teaches Max that he can express how he feels about everything through words.

In times of hardship, they were both the quiet man, and the outgoing girl that were able to support each
Winston and Julia are talking about their loyalty to one another “Confession is not betrayal. What you say or do doesn’t matter, only feelings matter. If they could make me stop loving you – that would be the real betrayal” (Section 2 Chapter 7). This particular spot displays that it is based on real love for the fact that it’s emotionally based. There is a lot of fabrication in this society and the feelings they have for each other aren’t. A person can lie about what they feel but that doesn’t change what they feel. Julia goes on to say on the same page “It’s the one thing they can’t do. They can make you say anything ¬– anything – but they can’t make you believe it. They can’t get inside you”. This passage reveals that no matter what they say or do it won’t change how they feel or what they believe which in its proper context can only be described as

Despite the difficult moments they went through, George and Lennie’s friendship is all against the challenges. The two shared well dreams and loved one another so much. This is a great virtue even in modern

The most obvious relationship is that between Hans and Liesel, which is at first facilitated by their reading The Gravedigger’s Handbook. However, words also act as a catalyst for Liesel’s relationships with Max and Rudy, as well as for the comfort of everyone in the shelter. Liesel’s relationship with Max started by asking about Mein Kampf, and upon learning that it was the, “best book ever,” and, “saved [his] life.” Also, stealing books from Ilsa’s library brought Liesel and Rudy, her, “best friend,” closer.
In contrast to Rosa's stern personality, Han is a man who is amicable on the inside and outside and immediately won over Liesel's heart. Although he knew the consequences of attempting to help a jewish man, he still attempted to rescue his old friend from abduction. Throughout the movie he implies that he does not agree with Hitler and swears to take care of Max even with the consequences if he is caught. Therefore, he shows he is not a coward by trying to help the jewish survive, however a young girl can show the same audacity as
The very idea of it was ludicrous, but he accepted it nonetheless. Hans checked that the curtains were properly closed. Not a crack could be showing. As he did so, Max could no longer bear it. He crouched down and clasped his hands.” This passage of the book takes place whilst Max Vandenburg arrives at 33 Himmel Street. There is much tension in these few words, for by letting Max stay with them, the Hubermanns are risking their own lives. But Hans, being the compassionate man that he is, takes the opportunity to put the life of an “enemy” before his own. To conclude, on page 72 of the text, it says, “Sitting in the water, she imagined the smell of it mapped out on her papa’s clothes. More than anything, it was the smell of friendship, and she could find it on herself, too. Liesel loved that smell.” This piece of text evidence shows how Liesel feels about Hans Hubermann and his compassion. From this line we can tell that Liesel sees Hans as a great friend, and she feels that his compassion and happiness have spread to
Though Hans and Rosa are much one in the same they express their love in entirely different ways. Their love for Liesel, for example manifests in one as kindness, and in the other as an outward display of harshness. In Hans his good-spirited and honest personality instantly draws Liesel to him, as seen on page 38 in the line:
I can tell from your blog you feel a strong connection to Hans and Liesel's friendship that has evolved. Personally, not trying to be stereotypical, I would expect the mother to take on the comforting role and the dad to take the role of the teacher. However, Hans plays both the comforting teddy bear and the teacher. Rosa plays the role of the evil step mom. He is teaching Liesel how to read and comprehend at the wee hours of the morning. He sacrifices sleep just so she can feel comforted after having those awful nightmares. You talked a little about I made a deep connection to your blog because I have a very strong relationship with my dad. Similar to Hans, my dad teaches me about life. My dad has always instilled in me strong beliefs and
