For this reading assignment, we were reading chapters 1, 2, and 3 I find it helpful to me to read, take notes and write out summaries as if this was two books.

Wes caught her, and not knowing what to do, punched her in the face. Joy, Wes’ mother, was very upset because Wes had hit a “girl”, and sent him to his room. Wes’ father calmed Joy down…

Today is September 1st, 1939 in Holland. Right now I’m going to be writing a book, it is going to be really good. I wish it would be published so that lots of people could read it and enjoy it.

So it’s 1:00 in the afternoon and while I was in the middle of writing my book I was interrupted by a loud, BANG! Then there were even more loud noises and…

Katy Flanagan World Lit. Honors The Book Thief Questions 1.Based on the title of the novel The Book Thief I expected the book to be about a person who became involved in stealing books.
