A lot of relationships have formed in the past reading. Liesel Meminger who is 10 years old is clearly the main character, the narrator refers to her most of the time as The Book Thief. She does not have the best education and schools are centered around the Nazi party. She has not yet begun to steal a lot of books, only two. The narrator is telling the story as if he went back in time and knows what will be happening next. The narrator exclaims the fact that at one point she will steal an enormous amount of books and become a thief. I have some ideas who the narrator might be but it is still very discreet. From what I have read I'm beginning to think it might be from Liesel's father or someone watching over her some sort of guardian. There is a growing relationship between Liesel and Rudy Steiner. They first meet in a neighborhood game of soccer, and he seems to be rough and a bully in the beginning. He later changes after talking to her and apologizing, and begins to show affection toward her. Rudy has a crush on her, and when anything that could be classified as affection comes up Liesel hides from the topic. So far it is a love/hate relationship between the two and i predict it might become a more bidding problem between the two of them.
Liesel's foster parents also have played a pretty significant roll. She ardours her father, who is a very caring man. Her mother on the other hand has a very strict way of handling there new child and is very accustom to swearing every other word. Liesel has been learning to read with her new father. She seems to have a very strong bond with her father and feel very safe while with him.
A man known as Hitler has been spurring some problems for Liesel and her new family. They take a different stance then Nazi party, and don't agree with a lot of things that have been occurring. A recent war has started with Germany invading Poland. Hans Hubermann (Liesels foster father) is disgusted with this. Liesel seems to be becoming more involved with some of these matters as well, voicing her opinion with Hans. From the reading now these are the People that I think are important to know and hopefully we get an identity to match the narrator soon.

ReplyDeleteJustin,
ReplyDeleteI loved the way you described the problems. At least I know I don't have to read this book. I have a question Liesel is a very young character I am guessing. Does she have a good education? I am basing this question on the title..."Book Thief"
