Aldof Hitler : The Character Of Liesel Meminger And Adolf Hitler

The major theme of the book is shown through the bonds of friendship and how in the most of unlikely circumstances friendship can survive and exist between people possessing an extensive and most restrictive division. A second theme is the evil and the intolerance which existed around these times of the Nazi regime and the Holocaust, as seen by the Germans having the Jews in the concentration camp. And the third theme is the curiosity and innocence of Bruno, Shmuel and

Since The Book Thief is a historical fiction text, the fictitious characters interact in a realistic WWII setting in Germany. Three characters in the book, Liesel, Rudy and, Death develop their identities within the parameters of the Nazi-controlled society. However, if Liesel, Rudy and, Death were characters in today's society, their lives would be different.

Their opinions are brought forward whilst there is a march in their hometown and the two characters feed the marchers. Whilst this is only a small action, they managed to change the course of the storyline and the consequences of their actions really did bring the context of war upfront and it allowed the reader to understand what happened to some of the German people that tried to help the Jews and the others that were tortured along with them. The most serious effect that the war had on the characters of The Book Thief, Liesel especially, was at the end of the novel was when a bomb was dropped on her home town. As a result of this everyone that was special to Liesel was killed, including Rudy. Children in war are not aware of what is happening around them, especially in Bruno’s case, he only knows what he has seen. For example when Shmuel tells him that there are a lot of children on his side of the fence he thinks that it will be like in Berlin where children are happy and playful and have liberty, but when Bruno crosses the fence and experiences what Shmuel does every day he is very surprised and in a way disappointed to see that the children here and all lethargic and gloomy, this may affect a child very harshly in the long run seeing such a place on the inside, such as Auschwitz. In the story we see that Bruno can not comprehend what is happening when he and Shmuel are taken into the gas chamber and they think that it

The Book Thief, is a Death narrated novel by Markus Zusak. The story takes place in Nazi Germany, 1939, where Liesel Meminger arrives on Himmel Street to start a new life with her foster parents, Hans and Rosa Hubermann. She lives to a very old age and when Death finally comes to take her away, he wants to tell Liesel about beauty and brutality. But what could he tell her about beauty and brutality that she didn’t know, the Book Thief had lived through it all. The time she saw Max marching to Dachau, the time Rudy went into the Amper River to save The Whistler, and the final moments she spent with Mama. Liesel Meminger’s life had always represent beauty in the wake of brutality.

The setting of the book is in World War II where many people were forced to abandoned their homes because of the holocaust. Like Max, many Jews had to hide or be forced to concentration camps and leave their families. Liesel has to grow up in period of fear, hate, and guilt. An example of this is when Hans gives bread to a dying Jewish man and is beaten and called a Jew lover. This example illustrates why Jewish people had so much to fear.

The Book Thief is set in the time of World War 2 where the Holocaust is present and disaster is everywhere. Throughout the story, Liesel, the main character, learns that words are extremely powerful and hold the ability for people to use them for good or for evil. Among the disaster and altercations, Liesel uses her literature to comfort her and make herself more powerful due to her knowledge, which demonstrates the theme of the story, the comfort and power of literature and words softens the pain of loss.

“‘If you ever tell anyone about that man…’ Her teacher. Rudy. It didn’t matter whom. What mattered was that all were punishable.” (page 203). Liesel and her family were going against society and what they wanted them to do, and if anyone found out they were doing this, she could be punished. The conflict was resolved in the end of the book because WWⅡ had come to an end. “When the war was over and Hitler had delivered himself to my arms, Alex Steiner resumed work in his shop.” (page 548). When the conflict is resolved, Liesel's world is changed in many ways. One being she is alone. Right before the war ended, Himmel Street faced a tragedy. Something that couldn’t be fixed. Something that left one girl alone. Himmel Street was bombed in the middle of the night and every one that Liesel had cared about and loved had died. “‘Wake up Rudy,’ and now, as the sky went on heating and showering ash, Liesel was holding Rudy Steiner's shirt by the front.” (page 535). The only people that were there for Liesel were the mayor and his wife. When the conflict is resolved and the war is over for good, Liesel and Max meet again in Alex Steiner's store. “Finally, in October 1945, a man with swampy eyes, feathers of hair, and a clean-shaven face walked into the shop.” (page 548). The one song that I felt really connected with this conflict is I’ll Be Your Shelter by Taylor Dayne. The song sends

The story is a documentary but in a cartoon, comic type of way and is like an adventure that makes you just reflect about your life and back then. LIfe was a struggle to survive during the war if you were a Jew for they would hunt you down. Also it just reflects on feeling of how you would feel if you lost your family and all you had, even if you were rich and wealthy you would be treated like less than a human. The book leaves you thinking on many concepts and it's true how could a human be treated as less just because of your religion.

The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak, takes place in 1940s Nazi Germany in the small town of Molching. The main character, Liesel Meminger, takes on a role as the foster child of Hans and Rosa Hubermann. She also meets a young boy named Rudy Steiner, who goes on to be her best friend and lover. In the book, Liesel faces many challenges big and small. From hiding a Jew in the basement to a thieving lifestyle, Liesel has to learn to overcome all of life's problems. Through all of this, she is supported by her foster father Hans Hubermann who is caring to people he barely knows, intelligence despite his lack of education, and generosity even when he has little for himself.

The central idea of this book is a little girl and her struggle in concentration camps the author shows this by “ tomorrow is deportation”( Leitner 3) . This happened on May 28, 1944 where she started her journey in the camps. She explains her feelings and fairs of them too and how she's not ready to leave this place called home because she was living in hungary and she ends up having to move away. Something else that is showing Isabella’s struggle is ”Every since childhood,I remember them with terror in my heart.” (Isabella Leitner 5). In this quote she is talking about the people that heard them like cattle and stuff. This was also the people that would kill them and make them do horrible things.These were the people that didn't make them feel like people. “75 to a car... no toilets... no doctors ... no medication”( Leitner 7) Isabella is talking about how they were moved place to place in these little cattle cars and how horrible the conditions normally where. Imagine being shoved in

One of the first and most important themes that came across the book was when Mosihe the Beadle returned from Passover in Budapest. He brought back with him news that the Germans had taken over with the Hungarian Governments approval. That take over was accompanied by the chilling news that “Anti-Semitic acts take place every day, in the streets, on the trains. The Fascist attack Jewish stores, synagogues. The Situation is becoming very serious…” (Wiesels 9). While Mosihe tried to warn his friends and fellow citizens, they mistook him for being just a crazy old fool and he soon became a laughing stock. However, “in less than three days, German Army vehicles made their appearance on our streets” (Wiesels 9). The image of an enemy army rolling through one’s home streets seemed impossible as well as a laughing matter to people of Mosihe community. The community’s denial to Mosihe’s claims sends the message to the reader to not tread lightly on the problems of today. Global warming, global financial collapse, or in extreme cases a third world war, all of these events seem like laughing matters to most of the population today, but very few people, like Mosihe the Beadle, see these unfolding before them, and do their best to warn their fellow people all while being completely
