Every time Liesel steals books from people, she consistently places the lives of others at risk. An example of this is when Liesel is worried about Max dying and wants to steal a book and read it to him

Every night, she wakes up from the first interaction with death, and sees Hans sitting in a chair instead of the empty bed, reinforcing that she’s not alone, “Shhh, I’m here, it’s all right”(Zusak 36). As a result of being abandoned by her biological family, Liesel discovers comfort by having someone care for her. Soon after, this becomes a routine but one night is different Liesel’s nightmare is the same, she relieves the night of her brother’s death.

In The Book Thief, Liesel Meminger stole a total of five books. Each book that Liesel stole is ironically portrayed as metaphors of her struggles and happy moments in her life. The first book that was stolen was The Gravedigger’s Handbook. This book represents both happy and sad moments in Liesel’s life. It reminded her of her brother Werner’s death and the last moments with her mother before Liesel’s arrival on Himmel Street. However, this book also created happy moments and a new a bond between her new foster father, Hans Hubbermann, as they formed a routine of reading and learning new words after Liesel woke up from her nightmares. The Gravedigger’s Handbook also ignited the flame inside Liesel for her deep love for words. The next book she stole was The Shoulder Shrug from a pile

The book is about a young girl named Liesel Meminger living with adoptive parents in World War II Germany. The book thief, Liesel, shows resistance to the cruel Nazis in many ways, one of which is stealing books from the Nazi book burnings. In a description of such an act, “Smoke lifted from the cover as she juggled it and hurried away (Zusak 121).” Another way that Liesel defies Hitler’s cruelty is by quietly voicing her beliefs against him when she says, “I hate Hitler (Zusak 115).” Liesel and her adoptive parents, for much of the book, also take in and care for a jewish man, Max, when he is on the run from Nazi soldiers. Liesel Meminger and the various characters of the book thief show a quiet but vibrant resistance to the hate and intolerance of the Nazi

Liesel has a fondness for reading literature, but in the current time period, Liesel can barely get any. Liesel has become desperate enough to steal books. If Liesel saw an opportunity or opening, she would seize it with an iron grip. Liesel Saw an opportunity at a book burning held by the nazi’s. A few of the books were damp with a non-flammable

The Book Thief is about Liesel Meminger, whose brother, mother, and father died, and had to live with Hans and Rosa Hubermann right before World War II. When they were burying her brother, she steals a book from a grave-digger. Later, when the book burning started, Liesel realizes how her mother and father died, and steals a book from the burning books. She is seen by the mayor's wife, Ilsa Hermann, who invited Liesel to read in her room. Later, a man named Max, a Jew, saves Hans's life, so he tries to hide him in his basement. When the Germans saw Hans giving food to the other Jews, Max is sent away and Hans is sent to a military service. Liesel loses hope, and she starts writing a book in the Hubermanns' basement because she wanted to blame

“The first event in the book was a murder” (213). The book seems to relate to the events happening in Germany at the moment, Hitler and all the killings. A huge concept in the book she stole was foreshadowing and similarity as to what is going on in her life. Really, all of the books Liesel has stolen goes along with what is happening to her at the moment. It is like a theme. She stole The Gravedigger's Handbook at her brother’s funeral. Then she stole The Shoulder Shrug, a hebrew book, at Hitler’s birthday fire, where bad books were being burned, and at the time, Jews were

Anne Frank spoke these words, “Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart”. These words were spoken while she was in hiding during the holocaust. Anne Frank, her family, and also another family were forced into hiding during the holocaust. The holocaust was a time when many nazis killed millions of jews and took them from their homes and businesses. Even though the holocaust was something that started from evil people, I disagree.

The Book Thief, written by Markus Zusak. The small story is about a girl, some books, a painter, fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter and a lot of stealing. The story takes place in Germany during World War 2. The story is about a young girl, Liesel who witnesses her brother’s death on a train and she is given to adoption a few days later. She goes into a new world without any of her family and she goes into a new family called the Hubermanns.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak left a lot of beauty to the imagination and tears to the eyes. The astonishing and suspenseful events will just pull you in. The voice in the story is narrated in first person by the inevitable entity of death who interprets each event into colors. He isn’t an actual character in the book, but does indirectly show up. Death cannot help his self but to visit the living sometimes.

In my opinion, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak was a very interesting book with a great plot. It is actually one of the best books I have ever read. It shows that words affect life more than we may realize. From the books Liesel stole, to the book that lead Max to the Hubermann's, words and books really do have a major impact on life, both positively and negatively.

“Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.” These words have been spoken by Anne Frank, a famous girl of the Jewish faith who lived during a time of darkness and betrayal. This time full of darkness was known as the Holocaust, a horrid time in history where nearly 6 million people of the Jewish religion was murdered due to the selfish actions of Adolf Hitler. Many will state that during the time that Anne lived there were purely evil people who have done horrible things. Those people who make such a statement often pay little, or none, attention to the great people or the great things those people have done. I believe that everybody is good despite everything bad they have done.

Liesel finds that it is hard to see the nazis burn all of the perfectly good books, obviously, she has to take one, all of the “book burnings” that the nazi perform
