World War 2 in Germany. In the city of Molching.

Here's another. It tells the story of your normal German Fraulein, Liesel Meminger. She goes to Hitler Youth and it takes her a while to discover what Hitler is and stands for. What can she do?]]> 2019-05-06 00:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/374071/ltpwxzvxinj/wish/357007284 374071 https://padlet.com/374071/ltpwxzvxinj/wish/357883621 2019-05-08 02:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/374071/ltpwxzvxinj/wish/357883621 374071 https://padlet.com/374071/ltpwxzvxinj/wish/358300496 2019-05-09 01:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/374071/ltpwxzvxinj/wish/358300496 374071 https://padlet.com/374071/ltpwxzvxinj/wish/358300992 2019-05-09 01:43:49 UTC https://padlet.com/374071/ltpwxzvxinj/wish/358300992 374071 https://padlet.com/374071/ltpwxzvxinj/wish/358301817 Liesel Meminger is funny and witty. She is one of many narrators of the story.

"Shut [your mouth], Saumensch!”]]> 2019-05-09 01:47:22 UTC https://padlet.com/374071/ltpwxzvxinj/wish/358301817 374071 https://padlet.com/374071/ltpwxzvxinj/wish/358302252 Rosa Hubermann the strict foster parent of Liesel. This is not to say that she is insane. She can prove to be nice to Liesel, but if you get on her nerve... you’ve messed up.

"Saumensch, du dreckiges!“

When Hans, Liesel's father, empathizes with a Jew (Max) publicly, the Nazis search around his house. ]]> 2019-05-11 17:42:50 UTC https://padlet.com/374071/ltpwxzvxinj/wish/359129479 374071 https://padlet.com/374071/ltpwxzvxinj/wish/359257584 The theme of this story is fear, death and brainwashing, yet also childhood innocence and learning. Liesel goes to a Hitler Youth Academy in the fictional city of Molching where she is constantly taught about Hitler and all that jazz. She is 9 at the beginning of the story. Then, she meets Max who moves in with her family to escape prosecution. Yet after, everyone she knows dies except for Max in a bombing of her street.]]> 2019-05-12 20:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/374071/ltpwxzvxinj/wish/359257584 374071 https://padlet.com/374071/ltpwxzvxinj/wish/359257743 I would rate the story a four to a four-and-a-half out of five stars:

Pros:

• Deep story
• Great characters
• Contains everyday, relatable characters
• Some funny bits
• Historically accurate

Cons

• Sometimes I could not tell who was the narrator
• Some awkward parts of the book (The book is meant for adults, OK?)

She then asked for some private time with Liesel and screamed at her loudly and then quietly whispered to Liesel that Max was awake. She gave Liesel a toy that Max told her to. Liesel thanked Rosa and then when Rosa left and Liesel came back in the class, she called Rosa 'stupid cow' for screaming at her. She got a slap from her teacher for that one.]]> 2019-05-12 21:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/374071/ltpwxzvxinj/wish/359257812 374071 https://padlet.com/374071/ltpwxzvxinj/wish/359324890 2019-05-13 04:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/374071/ltpwxzvxinj/wish/359324890
