In the past few weeks, we have been reading the book, the Book Thief by Markus Zusak. The book tells the story of Liesel Meminger, a girl from Germany in the time of the Holocaust. The book starts with her as a nine year old, and progresses through her life until she is an old lady. The story details the life of this woman through these times. And in the story, her priorities are reading and learning. She steals books like The Grave Digger’s Handbook and The Shoulder Shrug, but one book which has negative influence was the book made by the Nazi Leader, Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf (My Struggle). Hitler wrote the autobiographical book, which was spread around the Germans, who were brainwashed by the propaganda. The Mein Kampf influenced these citizens, but was the influence good? The book created nothing but negativity. There are three examples which are strong showings to prove the influence of the Führer caused nothing but hatred. Those three are Hans Junior, Max, and the entire population of the Jews. Those three personas were effected in a way which caused nothing but hurt to people.
Laptop’s Physical Security- Physical locks are the best means to prevent your laptop from being stolen. All laptops should be set to require a password to log on to the computer. Use a screen guard.

Your security system will probably begin with a security door (probably made of steel) and good locks on all windows. Oversize doors, French doors, and patio doors might be equipped with multi-point locks. If you live in a condo or apartment, your doors might be equipped with multi-point locks. This type of lock is especially appropriate on the very wide and tall doors often installed in loft apartments or condos. Instead of just a locking doorknob and a deadbolt, a multi-point lock will also include a metal bolt or bar running the height of the door that fastens into the door frame at two additional
Historically, people have used literacy to obtain political power. In the novel The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, it is evident that books, reading, and words themselves represent power for different characters in different ways.

Now that we have gone through assaults, it is time to discuss robbery preventions. Sadly when it comes to burglaries there is no way of reducing the price, but there are ways to prevent it from happening. Let’s start with the most conspicuous way, lock your doors and windows. This may be evident, but according to the San Jose Police Department, 30% of burglaries in the United States are unlawful entries. Unlawful entries mean that they were able to enter your house without needing to break in, probably due to an effortless access from the back door. If you want to take another step to go above and beyond then install double key deadbolts, they are stronger and more secure.

Death states that, “I’m always finding humans at their best and worst. I see their ugly and their beauty, and I wonder how the same thing can be both” (Zusak 491). This book shows us human doing things that weren’t even imaginable before this point. Many people give into ideas that were lies. But, we also watch a few people go out of their way and sacrifice everything for a man they barely even know. They do everything they can to keep him safe and alive. They work harder, the get another job, and they even steal. In Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief, death examines the ugliness and the beauty of humans.
“The power of words, written or spoken, have life. They can change the world.” (search quotes). The power of words should not be underestimated. Liesel proves this to be true in the novel and the film The Book Thief. She uses words to develop relationships with her foster father, Hans Hubermann; Max Vandenburg, the illicit Jew in her basement; and her neighbours. In the novel The Book Thief by Markus Zusak there is much more relationship development compared to the film The Book Thief directed by Brian Percival. This consequently causes the theme of the power of words to be less prominent in the film.
