Over the course of reading The Book Thief, readers will come to know about Markus Zusak’s constant use of descriptive words, figurative language, and character plots throughout the story. In one particular part of the novel, Zusak shows an example of all three of these points to support one of the many central themes he gives us. While Liesel is standing in front of the burnt offerings near the town hall and the square after a Hitler rally, she sees a book underneath all of the hot ash. This moment allows Zusak to go into explicit detail to make a point about the significance of the moment to the reader. In The Book Thief, Zusak uses vocabulary that evokes recklessness and stealthiness, personification about books, and Liesel’s internal

Relationship to meaning: - Death, as the narrator, gives us an insight into the events surrounding Liesel that otherwise would not have been known. Also Death explains definitions, events, and other items of note.

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.

Death describes himself a little; he doesn't carry a scythe, or wear a black robe unless its cold, and he looks like any person. 1942 is a very busy year for him, and he needs a vacation. There are so many humans to collect and colors to see. War is not Death's best friend, as the saying goes, but more like a demanding boss. When he remembers that year he likes to think of a little beauty as well, though, so he returns to the book thief's story.

The book starts off with Liesel, aka the book thief, on a train traveling to Munich with her brother named Werner and their mother. But on the way there the train stops working and Werner ends up dying, but while he is being buried Liesel takes a book from one of the gravediggers. After getting on another train they get to Munich where Liesel is giving away to foster care. She really doesn’t want to leave but she knows that it’s for the best that she leaves her mother and go into foster care.

In my opinion, I would rate the book a 2.5/5 as it really wasn’t the read for me. The novel had so much potential: three sisters

In a dimly lit stone room, gathered around a simple stone table, surrounded by plain stone pillars, eight large figures stood barking at each other in harsh, guttural tones. The room was undecorated; made for utility without much care for how it pleased the eye. The green-skinned men occupying the room were far better decorated, wearing coloured furs over their leather and chain armor. Each one was adorned with a sigil representing their tribe hanging from a chain around their neck. The largest among them, however, wore no sigil. Instead he wore a simple iron crown with no decorations. This marked him as the chosen leader of the tribes, and he was the only one present who held a blade. The warchief would lead them to victory, then ascend to

Joseph Brodksy, a Russian and American poet, once said “ There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them”. The Book Thief reminded me of two books I read. Rudy admires role models like I do sometimes. Liesel is a relatable character. Overall, The Book Thief was an entertaining book.

Nayara Goncalves, a 20 year-old lady who works in a MetroPCS cell phone store in Pompano Beach, FL, was almost a victim of robbery. On July, 2010, Goncalves was surprised by a man who tried to rob her store at gunpoint, but he retracted once she began to talk about Jesus and her faith. The thief first started talking about the weather and then, showing a gun, he asked Goncalves for the money in the register and he told her not to be afraid. Consequently, she started to talk to him about Jesus without knowing why she was doing it. The thief admitted that he hated what he was doing, but it was a necessity for him. Goncalves insisted that Jesus had something better for him; she tried to convince him that what he was doing was not the best way to solve his problems. She finally encouraged the thief to find his faith; he apologized over and over to Goncalves, he admitted his gun was not real and he concluded by wishing her a good day (Wetenhall). This type of case can make one think that definitely religious beliefs have an important role in guiding a person actions. However; religion cannot be the only guide for humans to do what is right. This paper is aimed to analyze and show that religion is not necessary for morality; nevertheless, it is a strong and an important influence to act in a correctly way. First, it will be defined what morality is and how religion defines it; it will be described the presumed connection between morality and religion. Subsequently, the Divine
