The book thief- A-Ha moment

In the book The book thief by Markus Zusak Leisel realizes a lot of things. She realizes that not all Jews are bad, or not even that, that jews aren't bad at all. The only reason she said that was because of all the things people would say about them. When her foster dad starts hiding a Jew she's worried, but then she gets to know him. She figures out his name is Max and that he can't read. She ends up helping him and starts building this friendship with him. That's when she realizes that Jews aren't bad at all, they're the same as any other human and they are also not so different. In the book it states," Max looked so lonely, Liesel swallowed. And she walked over and hugged him for the first time. "Thanks, Max." This is showing that Leisel still treats him the same way as other people and only because he is a Jew he is no different and she wouldn't mind giving him a hug like she would to her foster parents. 

Anne Frank

Some problems that Anne had faced was that she had to live in a attic for years and she barely had enough food for her family. She couldn't go outside or look out the window for any reason at all, no fresh air and no friends to see. She was always optimistic which was really good, especially for her age. She also had to be quiet at a certain time because they were afraid they would catch them and take them to a camp. She had lost friends and family members, I can also relate to this because I had a few family members and friends pass away.

Question 12

I think that the reason some people were bystanders was because they were scared to stand up and be up standers. The reason I think that is because since the Nazis were taking over they can kinda do anything they wanted to. The thing that I think people were up standers was because they actually new what hitter was doing was really bad and they needed to do something and they also new that they couldn't just sit there and watch that happen to people. I think I would have probably been an up standers even though I would probably get killed I wouldn't care because I've done what was right and I think a lot of the People would have appreciated that.

The Book Thief

The main character in this book is Liesle. She's an orphanage who was taken my her foster parents. What I like about Liesle is that she has a lot of spirit I'll say. Since she can't read her foster dad try's to help her so she can learn and in my opinion be a little bit more educated. Liesle has this great way of seeing things I'll say. She ends up stealing a book from the fire the Nazis did for all I think Jewish books. She also has a kind heart which I saw when Hans her foster dad took in a Jewish man since his father saved his life. She ends up helping him read and write and spell all these words. At the same time she was teaching someone and she was also becoming a bit more wiser.
