Jonah Livelli- man vs. society because Liesel and Rudy are conflicted that society has taken their fathers away and there is nothing they can do about it. The symbol for this conflict is the accordion. It represents comfort for Liesel because Hans played for her when she had nightmares before he left.

The characters in the book thief are narrated differently because of the changes in their decisions. They are referred to differently and make different choices. This also affects their relationships with other characters such as Liesel's with Rudy, or Max as familiar or romantic.

There is a person to person conflict in part 8. Rudy begins to have a hatred for Hitler. This is Rudy's character developing throughout the story.

I can connect to the conflict in Part Eight because if I was in the situation were Ruby was about to be left all alone with no protection because if one of my parents went to war I don't know what I would do alone. In the text it says, " On Friday, as statement arrived to say that Hans Hubermann was to be drafted into the German army. A member of the party would be happy to play a role in the war effort, it concluded. If he wasn't,there certainly be consequences." ( Zusak, 281) This explains that during this time of the book there had to be a decision made instantly because Hans Hubermann didn't have much time.

I think the conflict that takes place in part eight is Man vs. Society. Society has taken away both of Liesel's and Rudy's fathers from them. This upsets them greatly and that is bad shaking my head.

I think it is character vs society because Liesel, Hans, and Rudy are all worried for the outcomes that Hitler and the Nazis have put upon them. If it is the main characters vs Hitler and the Nazis, it is mainly character vs society.

Ryder --Conflict in part 8 brings a reality for many families during this time, men being drafted for war, and for it to happen to Liesel Meminger and to her best friend isn't rare. When their fathers got drafted they are starting to realize what war is like and suffering it can cause, "The cruelty of fate, however, did not allow Rudy Steiner to enter the kitchen at the opportune moment,"(Part 8 , 277). This quote shows how kids aren't stupid and that life can flip at any moment so fast.

I relate to the central conflict in part eight because I do not blindly follow anything. Just like when Rudy discovered that he "wants to kill the Fuhrer" (Zusak 426), I too do not just sit by and support someone who is extremely bad. I have my own opinions and I do not join the Bandwagon of others in believing in a mission so awful.

Selina Sun - I connect to the conflict in Part 8 as most of my family are in China, and seeing Rudy's father go to war and possibly never seeing him again is similar to the fact that it is extremely difficult for me to travel between countries due to Covid.

I'm able to connect to the conflicts in part 8 as seeing someone else ill or hurt is difficult. "At first, his punishment was conscience. His oblivious unearthing of Max Vandenburg plagued him." Part 8 (416) Just the pain and helplessness is difficult and in times it can get better, others worse. -Matt

The conflict with Rudy and Leisel in Part 8 has an extreme contribution to the there character development. Both of them at one point in the book have said they hate Hitler, with Rudy in Part 8 trying to leave town and find him. This definitely grows their relationship with each other, as they both have the same ideals even though they are going up against their entire nation

In Part 8 Rudy infers his hate for Hitler. Considering that I ALSO hate hitler I can connect to this. Hitler is no good, bad man.

I believe several man vs society conflicts occurred in Part 8. One being when Hans was drafted to go fight in world war two, "On Friday, a statement arrived to say that Hans Hubermann was to be drafted into the German army." And another is when the Nazis tried taking Rudy away for a special program, "On Friday, a statement arrived to say that Hans Hubermann was to be drafted into the German army."

Cameron C: The internal conflict within part 8 develops around the leaving of both Rudy and Liesel's fathers for the war effort. this affects both children, in both positive and negative areas. For example both Rudy and Liesel go to give more bread to Jews passing through their town, taking after Hans.

Sophie - I think the conflict in part 8 is character vs society. Both Liesel and Rudy's fathers were taken from them. They're conflicted with society because they feel powerless against it. Liesel had a strong bond with her father, so having him ripped away from her due to the societal conflict. Their bond grew when she began to have nightmares, and Hans came in to comfort her. "Possibly the only good to come out of these nightmares was that it brought Hans Hubermann, her new papa, into the room, to soothe her, to love her. He came every night and sat with her" (Suzak 36). Later on he even buys her books because of her love for reading.

Conflict in part 8 develops because this is where the main characters have to change to accommodate to having no father because of them being drafted.

Camryn Balser- The conflict that is present in part 8 is a key factor in developing Liesel and her tendency to voice her opinions. She is incredibly mad at the Nazis and Hitler, Rudy eventually says "“Because I want to kill him.”" and is realizing that she and Rudy feel the same way after their fathers were drafted. Together they mature in their ideals and connect over the shared bond of an absent father because of Hitler.

War between russia and Germany can intensify conflict that was already there. Hans is then drafted into the germany army to fight in the war. this can worsen the situation of max living with the hubermanns and make daily life downhearted as liesel has a close connection with hans. "it was sign germany army's growing for desperation. they were losing to Russia. Their cities were being bombed."(zusak 282)-Leilah C

I think the main conflict that takes part in this part of the book was Rudy's develop of hatred with the Fuhrer. Obviously in that time, especially since it's Nazi Germany, to develop any type of hatred towards Hitler could lead to your certain death. However Rudy's realization that he hated the fuhrer was a great example of man vs conflict, as "Rudy stopped. “Because I want to kill him.” He even turned on the spot, to the rest of the world. “Did you hear
that, you bastards?” he shouted. “I want to kill the Führer!” This shows a great man verses society conflict as Rudy's views are not the same of many of the Germans views.

In part eight one of the characters that goes through the most development is Rudy. Originally Rudy had more of a positive outlook on Nazi Germany. An example of this is on page 440 when he puts bread on the road to feed the Jews. This would not be a normal act for Rudy until his father got taken away to fight in the war. This conflict is what leads Rudy to his actions. -Izzy

The type of conflict that I feel takes place in Part 8 is character vs. society. I feel like this is because many elements of society and the government interfere with the lives of Liesel and Rudy as well as everyone else. In Part 8, the narrator mentions: "It was a sign of the German army’s growing desperation. They were losing in Russia.
Their cities were being bombed. More people were needed, as were ways of attaining them, and in most cases, the worst possible jobs would be given to the worst possible people" This is a good example of societal conflict because the government is looking to go into people lives and put their well being at risk.

Man vs Society or Man vs Society. Because Liesel and Rudy does not like Hitler and the society that has been created by him has take away many precious things from both Liesel and Rudy.

I think that there is a person to person conflict in the story, between the Steiners and the people that want to send him off to school to create the perfect Germans, "Yes, but understand, Herr Steiner, this is all for the greater purpose. Think of the opportunities that your son can have. This really is a privelege" (Zuzak 276). Through this conflict, we can see the struggle that the German government is going through, as they are trying to create the best germans they can so that they can be able to do better than others in their position.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many different conflicts in part eight, but a main one would be world V self. This being Rudy against Germany and their love of the Nazi party. He stands very isolated in his beliefs, and is the minority in the ideological standings of Nazi Germany and Hitlers reign.

Ryder - Liesel starts to grow up and learn hardships. She realizes that her protector, hans, isn't going to be around all the time to protect her and has to fend for herself through the night. In this part 8 we can see her adjusting for Hans leaving and him going to war and potentially not seeing him again.

I think it develops Rudy's character as it shows from how he didn't really care about Hitlers views, and would even go out of his way to please his Hitler youth leaders, to now where he absolutely wants to kill Hitler

We can Liesel going against the Nazis, Max in a coma, her family, and the war. They experience things that shouldn't have been seen at such a young age. -Matt

The conflict where Rudy was going to be taken away to a special Nazi program developed his character immensely. Similar to Leisel, Rudy started developing a hate for the Nazi party, now on top of his knowledge on how they treats Jews, he is now at risk of being taken away from his friends and family to be part of "The Master Race". Evidence: “We are gradually succeeding,” the nurse was informing the teacher, “in creating a new future. It will be a new
class of physically and mentally advanced Germans. An officer class.”

The conflict that takes place in Part 8 is man vs. society, as Rudy develops a hatred for Hitler, which is practically like going against society during that period of time. We can see him demonstrate his hated by saying "I want to kill him.” He verbally states that he wants to kill Hitler, which could get him taken away during that time. However, he still chooses to express that hatred despite all the possible negative consequences.

Sophie - Rudy and Liesel being left by their fathers because they had to join war can develop because Liesel and Rudy lost the people they had the strongest bonds with as well as the people they looked up to. libels father being drafted with force her to figure out how to do things without the protection and reassurance she had before.

I believe that the conflict of part 8 is character versus society. Hans Hubermann is forced into another conflict. He is powerless to resist and this is shown by his reliance on a higher power to save him from the worst part of the war. "God, please don’t send me to Russia,” Papa said." (Zusak 281)

# data[].attributes.body
I think a Man vs. Society conflict takes place within Part 8. "A statement arrived to say that Hans Huberman was to be drafted into the war." (Zusak 281). This quote shows that Hans is up against the nation with his differing ideals, so they drafted him into the war in hopes to get rid of him. This conflict devastates the people around him, as he is shoved into the war, were he isn't trusted by his friends or enemies.

Camryn Balser- The type of conflict seen in chapter 8 is primarily character to society as both Rudy and Liesel struggle with following their morals, which happen to go against the majority of society. They act upon their ideals and almost get in serious trouble because the Nazis have a drastically different view of the Jews. They are against the Jewish whereas Rudy and Liesel don't see why they believe this way.

In part eight I think both character vs. society and character vs. self are the main types of conflict. the character vs. society is when Rudy defines the typical mindset and decides he does not support Nazi Germany. At that same time this could also be considered character vs. self because Rudy is going against his own past judgement. It could cause an internal conflict. -Izzy

In part 8, Rudy's internal conflict and conflict with society is present as his feelings of hatred for Hitler grows but is unable to express such as he is a German citizen, who is supposed to be dedicated to the Nazi Party. "He even turned on the spot, to the rest of the world. "Did you hear that, you bastards?" he shouted. "I want to kill the Fuhrer!" (Zusak, 288) He takes on the risk of threat in such a world where they are against him, going against the societal norms. - Jewel

Conflict in part 8 develops plot because as the human world intervenes with the lives of people Living on Himmel Street, it creates tension and uncertainty that makes the characters have to work out a solution. It brings the characters together and makes them build on their response to stressful situations. The war adds to the events in the story line and makes it more intriguing for the reader.

This develops the plot through foreshadowing by death afterwards, when he gives three possibilities, "Alex Steiner wouldn't have suffered the same punishment as Hans Hubermann. Rudy would have gone away to school. And maybe, he would have lived." (Zuzak 277). Through this quote, we know that Rudy could have survived, but we know he dies anyway, which foreshadows Part 10 and the epilogue. This also helps the reader understand that something is going to happen to Himmel street, because Rudy dies because he didn't go to school, which hints even more towards what happens in the end.

# data[].attributes.body
In the first chapter of Part Eight, soldiers approached Rudy's family with the intention of sending Rudy to a school for "elite... German citizens" (Zusak 276). This development in the plot drastically shaped the ending of the book, as Rudy decided not to go. His mother protested against having them take Rudy, saying "Not my boy." (Zusak 275); and as Rudy did not like the Fuhrer as evidenced when Liesel stated he was "Killing the Fuhrer" (Zusak 289) and his reaction was "happy," he did not go: "Rudy Steiner wasn't going anywhere." (Zusak 277). This choice will lead to his death when Himmel Street is bombed, and as death says, "If he'd intervened, it might've changed everything." and the fact that his death could have been avoided was hinted with death's statement that he "[maybe] would have lived." (Zusak 277)

Rudy and Liesel's conflict with the world develops the plot as they become firm in their position against Hitler in a situation where their lives could be in danger. They are also left alone as their fathers had been drafted for the war, intensifying their emotions as their protection and comfort has been taken away. The tension builds up to the plot, which would be inevitable death that they will face. - Jewel

The type of conflict that takes place during part eight is people vs society. This is shown in both Liesel and Rudy's views towards Jews and society in Nazi Germany. Liesel herself had once proclaimed that she did not like the Fuhrer, while in part eight Rudy decides that he wants to "kill the Fuhrer" (Zusak 288).
