As
I have continued reading The
Book Thief,
it has continued to be eventful. Liesel watched a parade of Jews and
one collapsed, so Hans gave the Jew a piece of bread, but was
punished for it with a whipping. Hans shouldn't have been punished
because most people didn't care about the Jews, so the soldiers
shouldn't have cared that Hans wanted to help one. Max left the
Hubermann house that night and I wish Max didn't leave because Liesel
was really close to Max. Hans was then drafted into the German army.
At Christmas, Rosa gave Liesel a book that Max made for her and she
loved it. It was sweet of Max to write a book for Liesel especially
since the book was about her. Hans almost died while at war, but was
sent home with a broken leg. Liesel found out Max was put into a
concentration camp when another Jew parade went down Himmel Street.
Liesel saw Max in the parade, walked with him, but was then caught
and punished. Four days later, Liesel told Rudy about Max and about
him being in the Jew parade. One day, a bomb was dropped on Himmel
Street with no warning while everyone was sleeping. Only Liesel
survived because she was in the basement writing her book. Liesel was
lucky and unlucky to survive the bomb. She was lucky because she
lived, but unlucky because everyone she knew and loved died. I felt
bad for Liesel because it seemed like the situation with her brother
had repeated itself. It was upsetting that Liesel had left the book
she was writing on Himmel Street, but it was good that Death picked
up the book for her. Liesel lived with Ilsa and the mayor after the
bombing. When Rudy's father returned home, he reopened his shop and
Liesel would help him. One day Max walked into the shop, Max and
Liesel hugged and cried for many hours. Max was so nice to return to
Himmel Street just to see Liesel again. Liesel lived a long life and
when Death took her, he handed her The
Book Thief.
Death really cared about Liesel since he read her book and kept it
for many years so he could give it to her.
The
Book Thief
was an amazing book and I strongly recommend reading it.
