My expections

I think the person telling the story will be reviled, and explain his/her part in the story. Also I think that Liesel will get into some kind of trouble for stealing these books, it seems to easy for her right now. I have been noticing she has more and more bad comments toward the fuhrer. It seems like Liesel might try to make a plan or some kind of act to get back at the fuhrer for all the violence they have brought upon the world. Her foster father might play some part in getting back at the fuhrer because he does not seem to approve of almost anything there doing. The book has been very suspenseful so far, and probable become even more as the story unfolds.

My understanding of the book

This novel takes place during 1939. It is staged in Germany during the time of Hitlers reign. It’s about Liesel Meminger, a nine-year-old girl who arrives in the town of Molching to meet her new foster parents. Her foster parents are poor but are good-hearted and kind people. Her real mom is to sick to take care of her, and her real father is a political prisoner. She also had a six-year old brother but he dies on the train to Molching. Right now the story is about the family's struggle to stay afloat. Liesel has taking an interest in books and learns to read quickly. Not being able to afford them. A lot of books were being destroyed (burned) by Nazi's, and she starts stealing them in her lust for knowledge. The main scenes in the book now are Liesel's daily interactions with her friends and neighboring townsfolk in Molching. The story is being told by anther person entirely from anyone we know now. That person gives there own insight at times
