The Book Thief Post #2

In The Book Thief, Liesel is a very interesting person. she is very quiet and shy. But she is also very driven and full of emotions. If she gets angry enough, she will beat someone up. At her school, a boy made her mad by making fun of her, so she kicked him in the place that will not be said, and then beat him up on the ground. Another very strange character is Rudy. He is very cocky and believes that one day, he will get a kiss from Liesel. He is growing up in Germany, yet just a while back in the book, there was an incident. Rudy used charcoal to color himself black and ran the 100M dash to act like Jesse Owens. The reason why I say that is strange is because, at that time, Germans saw themselves as superior, and everyone else wasn't. Which is why it's strange that he was coloring himself black. Two common themes in the book are courage, and suffering. Liesel has suffered an awful lot throughout the book, but she has had the courage to keep fighting, and keep getting better. The book I am reading is structured like every other book out there. But there is one thing different, the narrator sometimes gives you information about something in sort of like a list. Most of the time they would just put it with the rest to the writing, but in this, it gets its own paragraph.
