The Book Thief


In the novel The Book Thief, the main character is a little girl named Liesel who lives in Germany during Hitler's rule. Liesel comes from very a poor family. She was given to a foster family by her parents because they thought Liesel would be better off there. One of the things that I noticed in Part 1 is that Liesel was not given to members of the Nazi party. I thought this was significant because this tells me that Liesel could be in danger later on in the novel. I think she is either in danger or her new family will have to join the Nazi party. I am very worried that Liesel's new family will be hurt or killed because they are not Nazis, but are surrounded by neighbors who are.
