Liesel Values In Elie Wiesel's The Book Thief

After the burial ended, Zusak explained that “Still in disbelief, she started to dig. He couldn’t be dead. He couldn’t be dead. He couldn’t-- Within seconds, snow was carved into her skin. Frozen blood was cracked across her hands” (Zusak 23).

The Book Thief will give you a new view on world war 2 and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to read a challenging book. As mentioned before it all started with Liesel Meminger(was 14), her mother, and the corpse of her brother. This day would give Liesel nightmares for years, every night. Liesel's brother died of some form of disease. Her brother was berried on the way to Munich, there she stole her first book from a grave digger(Liesel didn't know how to read due to her families poorness).

The Book Thief, narrated by Death, is the story of Liesel Meminger, a German girl who given up by her mother to live with Hans and Rosa Hubermann in the small town of Molching. On their way to Molching, Liesel's younger brother dies, and she is traumatized, experiencing nightmares about him for months. Hans is a gentle man who brings her comfort by teaching her how to read, starting with a book Liesel took from the cemetery where her brother was buried. Soon after moving Liesel befriends a Rudy Steiner, a

Jeanne states “Mama tried to hold us together for a while, but it was hopeless (Houston and Houston 36).” Mama was also a very strong, hard worker and worked multiple jobs in the camps for a while. We can see this strength and perseverance in Jeanne as she grows up. When she starts to feel the pressure and pain of prejudice that exists against her race, she doesn’t let people walk all over her, yet she doesn’t let it bring her down either. If she was discriminated against in one of the activities she took part in, she moved right on to the next one and tried equally as hard to be recognized for the talent she has.

The story starts when Liesel 's communist mother is on a train heading for a town in which Liesel’s new adopted parents are. On the train ride to Liesel’s new life, her brother, Werner, had died before arriving in Molching, and not only that, but she would also go on to lose her mother to Hitler’s Regime for being a communist. Already, Liesel experiences such a traumatic event that will affect her for the rest of the story, and will see dramatic changes to personality and outlook almost immediately with her being quite resistant to her

Lily Melissa Owens, also known as Lily is the protagonist in the book The Secret Life of Bees. She lives in 1964 which is in also know and is turning 14. I feel sympathy for her because she has lost her mother when she was about 4 years old and her father, isn’t a nice person. He is mean and sets harsh rules for her and always tells her that her mother died because of her. On the other hand, Rosaleen, a black woman who worked at the peach farm which Lily’s father owned is like Lily’s mother.

The emotions of Louise Mallard set the plot of the story. After the death of her loving husband, Mrs. Mallard, locking herself in a room, was overwhelmed with sadness after finding out tragic news of a death. She soon started thinking of her life after and began seeing the happiness that awaits her future. Her excitement sooner led her to death.

Have you ever just been so fed up with life and just wanted to give up so that you won't have to deal with your problems anymore? Life just seems to be overwhelming. In the book Lessons Learned, I can connect and relate to the main character. I see similar hardships that the character and I have been through. In the novel, Keyshia goes through several problems such as not seeing eye to eye with her mother, being abandoned by her mom throughout her whole 15 years and not knowing her dad until the age 16, and her younger brother Mike being with a dangerous girl.

The book thief has many hidden meanings and themes, but the one that stood out to me the most is love. Love, and the different scenarios associated with it, pops up several times throughout the book. Liesel, the main character, goes through a lot in the book thief and much of it involves some form of love. Liesel is sent away from her parents, whom she loves, to live with a strict mother and a caring father. She must pretend to be a part of this new family, live in a new place, make new friends, and follow new rules.

The theme of the novel, The Book Thief written by Markus Zusak is that there is great power in words and it makes a huge impact on others. As Liesel begins to learn to read, she hungers for words and they are her source of comfort which is why she steals books. Soon she realizes that can be an ugly thing. For example, the way Hitler uses words to encourage the Germans to carry out cruel, violence on innocent people. I chose this theme because I agree on how words can influence people around you.

In the book there was a very well-known event in the book that I’ll never forget. This event was when John Barton suicides and when Josie found out about she turned hot-blooded and over dramatic in second and then she realised that these things happen she must keep moving forward, this was mostly taught by Michael Andretti. And Josie’s best friends, Lee, Sera and Taylor played an important part in the novel because Josie’s friends helped her in taking choices and decision. Josie always disagreed with Nonna but when she found out about her dark secret, they both formed a strong bond between each other.

The mother cannot attend to her own daughter’s funeral because she is afraid that she will get caught by authorities. Many people showed up to josselines funeral to morn for her death as if she were a symbol of all those who had died in the dessert trying to make it across the border for a better

The very next day, the family went into hiding in an empty space at the back of Mr. Frank 's company building where they were captured on August 4, 1944. On March 1945 At Bergen-Belsen, food was dirty and diseases spread. Frank and her sister both came down with typhus. This diary was given to her on her 13th birthday as a present from her parents.

Which character is most affected by war, and how? “No matter how many times she was told she was loved, there was no recognition that the proof was in the abandonment.” (32) The Book Thief by Markus Zusak discusses mainly the power of words, and war in Nazi Germany and how a girl grows up in pain, love, and misery through that period of her life. To begin with, Paula, Liesel’s mother gave her and her brother Werner to foster parents, Liesel’s parents were communists so they took her father away, hence, even though she didn’t know why, her mother had to give them over to Rosa and Hans Hubermann, but just before getting there, death took Werner away. And maybe that’s when pain begins for Liesel, as much as readers know.

Circumstances can make or break a person. For example, if a person is born into poverty he can be a product of his environment or break free of the limitations for that environment. This a present concept in The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. One of the main characters Liesel circumstances are challenging. She is given up by her mother and her brother dies, she has to live with foster parents, and is born into poverty.
