She'd never been in one before. There was the constant rise and fall of her stomach, ... Shivering. Bundled up in that useless coat. She'd be eating her nails, waiting for the train." (pg 26)

This shows how brutal life can be at such a young age.  ]]> 2023-03-08 12:50:09 UTC https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2508537736 Pg 5 josezora25 https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2508538602 "its the leftover humans
The survivors
Theyre the ones i cant stand to look at, although on many occasions i still fail."

This shows how even though hes been doing this for so long he still gets sad about people dying and its still a hard job for him to be able to do what he does. He struggles with the feelings of the souls hes taking away and its hard for him to see people on the brink of death but wont let go.]]> 2023-03-08 12:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2508538602 pg 97 josezora25 https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2523431004 "He says, "You know, Liesel? I nearly wrote you a reply and signed your mother's name." He scratches his leg, where the plaster used to be. "But I couldn't. I couldn't bring myself."" (pg 97)


This quote shows how her new dad wanted to make her feel better and to make it seem like her mother was still out there.]]> 2023-03-20 12:07:13 UTC https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2523431004 pg 103 josezora25 https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2523431471 ""They'll come for us," Mama warned her husband. "They'll come and take us away." They. "We have to find it!" (pg 103)


This quote shows how bad and scary Hitler was while he was ruling over Germany]]> 2023-03-20 12:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2523431471 pg 87 josezora25 https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2523432731 ""Look at the colors", Papa said. It's hard not like a man who not only notices the colors, but speaks them. Liesel still held the book. She gripped it tighter as the snow turned orange. On one of the rooftops, she could see a small boy, sitting looking at the sky. "His name was Werner..."  (pg 87)


This quote is showing how Liesel is getting closer with her new dad by telling him her brothers name even though talking about her brother is still sensitive to her.

"When the book thief stole her second book, not only were there many factors involved in her hunger to do so, but the act of stealing triggered the crux of what was to come. (pg 83)

This quote shows how this book has cause and effect and is foreshadowing something that is going to happen later in the book and will affect Liesel.

This shows that if she doesn't do what she says she will be in big trouble]]> 2023-03-20 12:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2523475991 pg 109 josezora25 https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2523481361 "When Liesel tried to make her way through, a crackling sound prompted her to think that the fire had already begun.

This is an oxymoron because the words gorgeous and nausenting have very different meanings. One being good and one being bad. The author uses this oxymoron to describe the air in real detail]]> 2023-04-17 12:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2556844828 pg 245 personification josezora25 https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2556853451 "the feathery appearance of Max Vandenburg"

This shows personification because the word feathery means "having, covered with, or resembling feathers." This is in fact not a human feature which means they are giving a human a non human feature which is basically the definition of personification. The aouther uses personification to show how Max looks in detail]]> 2023-04-17 12:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2556853451 pg 269 metaphor josezora25 https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2556860101 "he could transform a marching line into a dogs breakfast in the blink of an eye"

This is a metaphor because it is comparing two completely different things to each other. (a dogs breakfast and a marching line). The author uses this metaphor to show how hungry he really was]]> 2023-04-17 12:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2556860101 pg 273 hyperbole josezora25 https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2559481763 "i stole at least three hundred apples and dozens of potatoes"

This is a hyperbole because she didn't actually steal that many it is an over exaggeration. The author uses this hyperbole to add to the story that she is telling to make it more interesting]]> 2023-04-19 02:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2559481763 pg 285 metaphor josezora25 https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2559496992 "after all the guilt was already there it was moist"

This is a metaphor because it is comparing guilt with moist without like or as. the author uses this metaphor to show that Liesel how Liesel felt ]]> 2023-04-19 02:35:12 UTC https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2559496992 pg 295 hyperbole josezora25 https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2559502848 "he has eight brothers and sisters"

This is a hyperbole because it is an exaggeration of how many siblings rudy actually has. The Author uses this hyperbole to get ruby out of trouble]]> 2023-04-19 02:39:47 UTC https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2559502848 pg 277 personification josezora25 https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2560045949 "the words started piling up around him"

This shows personification because it is giving a non human, (words) human nature (piling). The author uses this to show that when Max is lonely all his thoughts just overflow]]> 2023-04-19 11:34:03 UTC https://padlet.com/josezora25/i858srtyjiokm3nx/wish/2560045949
