On their way to Molchin, Liesel's younger brother, Wener, dies, leaving Liesel with no family. Hans is a gentle man who brings her comfort and helps her learn to read, starting with a book Liesel took from the cemetery where her brother was buried. Liesel befriends a neighborhood boy, Rudy Steiner. At a book burning, She is seen stealing a book from the burning by the mayor's wife, who later invites Liesel to read in her library. Hans is reminded of a favor he owes, and agrees to hide a Jew named Max Vandenberg in his basement. Max writes stories for Liesel to read, and she and Max quickly become friends. ]]> 2018-08-31 22:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jxs52150/isgbe2vl3q0y/wish/277032659 jxs52150 https://padlet.com/jxs52150/isgbe2vl3q0y/wish/277032946 By Markus Zusak ]]> 2018-08-31 22:59:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jxs52150/isgbe2vl3q0y/wish/277032946 jxs52150 https://padlet.com/jxs52150/isgbe2vl3q0y/wish/277033004 This book has a different narration than any that I have experienced before; the narrator is Death himself. I find this interesting because there was a lot of death during World War 2, and having Death personified really opens up a new perspective on the story and the characters as well. ]]> 2018-08-31 23:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jxs52150/isgbe2vl3q0y/wish/277033004 jxs52150 https://padlet.com/jxs52150/isgbe2vl3q0y/wish/277033228 Here is the trailer to the movie.
