-Loss and abandonement, the challenges that she had to face, closely linked to loss of childhood. 
-Coexistence of beauty and brutality. Death and mortality, kindness, power of words. 
-The way that Liesel had to leave her mother and her brother behind. Reminds me of roughness and emptiness. ]]> 2020-08-26 03:53:29 UTC https://padlet.com/azizasarkis/4r8if1u76zsucz1u/wish/699164154 https://padlet.com/azizasarkis/4r8if1u76zsucz1u/wish/699164164 Liesel has gone through a lot of challenging situations in the novel so far.

she is a foster kid 
her mother left her
we don't know much about her dad
Liesel has a developing relationship with her foster father Hans
Death is narrating Liesel's life stories
What stood out to me the most would be that Hans is constantly there for Liesel and the characterisation of him shows that he isn't generally appreciated by a lot of people but he is greatly appreciated by Liesel.]]> 2020-08-26 03:53:36 UTC https://padlet.com/azizasarkis/4r8if1u76zsucz1u/wish/699164267 https://padlet.com/azizasarkis/4r8if1u76zsucz1u/wish/699164328 - Liesel and Hans so far have a strong relationship.
- Key themes- The power of words and language- which relates mostly to Liesel, as she uses books as a way to get away from the reality of life during World War 2
- Coexistence of Beauty and Brutality- There is not situation that is really good or really bad, its how you handle it, that makes the experience likable or not likable. 
- Kindness- Relates mostly to the kindness of Hans Huberman. He displays his kindness towards Liesel as she is settling in to a new life with new people and family members.]]> 2020-08-26 03:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/azizasarkis/4r8if1u76zsucz1u/wish/699164328 https://padlet.com/azizasarkis/4r8if1u76zsucz1u/wish/699165065 - No matter what happened to Liesel, there is always someone (e.g. Hans) behind her back to help her. 
- So far, Liesel loss her mother and her mother and became a foster kid under Hans and Rosa Hubermans, which emphasizes the theme of loss and abandonment.
