Bob Stealed: A Narrative Fiction

The legend of Sam Bass has grown way out of proportion in relation to his actual deeds. A book collector claims that he has over 200 titles that deal with Sam Bass in some way (Carmack 1B). One of Round Rock’s major streets bears his name as do several businesses. Texas history has often referred to him as “Texas’ Beloved Bandit” or “Robin Hood on a Fast Horse” (Centennial Commission). In actual fact, Sam was probably more inept than brave or noble, and he appears to have never realized that robbing trains and banks was anything more than an amusing diversion. For him it was mere sport, the reality that people often were injured, either physically or financially, appears to have never surfaced on his shallow conscience (Smith 34).

When I was 7 years old I attended a funeral for my great grandfather. He was 105, and had lived a full life. I wasn’t very close to him but seeing him in the casket was so odd and he looked like an alien. I was a curious child so I stood in front of the casket just observing the body and glancing around at the sadness that this room was filled with. My uncle joined me and asked me if I had said spoken to my great grandfather. I just looked up at him and said “No, he is dead”, since I was pretty certain dead people didn’t talk anymore. Well, he proceeded to tell me that if I asked him a question, my great grandfather would indeed respond. I didn’t ask since I was already scared at this point. My uncle did for me, he asked, “Grandpa, if you

“Arrest me officer! I have committed the worst crime! Ohhhhhhh I did it this time, I really did it! I must be arrested at once so I don’t hurt any-” A gentleman gushed out, as he had just busted inside the doors.

Words are more influential than thought. Words can have such a powerful impact on how you interpret things, how you feel, and how you can make others feel as well. The word choice used in The Book Thief demonstrates many themes throughout such as death, friendship, guilt, reason, and the struggle between ones inner self and the society in which he is surrounded. As complex as this may sound, the method was used in a simplistic fashion to construct the meaning and details of certain situations through the senses that ultimately capture how the characters take in the world around them. The power of words in the novel The Book Thief is used to control individuals and gain power if rooted from bad intentions; however, the power of words also

I continued to take shots and miss them, advance up the court, fumble the ball, and then turn it over. What I didn’t do was the look at the crowd, the score, the clock, or Coach Foley. The stern look on his face masked the aggravation, fuming, and unsatisfied mentality he had. His folded, muscular, arms, that could not be unwrapped, were cemented to his chest. His large, positioned feet were engraved into the sideline. His perspective had been changed about me.

Not five minutes later he sees sirens and tries to make a run for it. But where does he go? Into the woods only to get lost or face the consequences? For the first time in his life Absalom makes the right choice. The officer was sensible and only did his job. Absalom served two months in a juvenile detention center until he was placed into a new home, a real
