In Markus Zusak The Book Thief, the theme that even though people are surrounded by hatred, compassion from others can transform the hatred into love is shown when Hans protects Max and hides in the basement, and Ilsa Hermann’s sharing of the books in the library

    Part I. Literary Analysis for The Book Thief 2. It is ironic that Liesel steals books because the first time she steals the book she is not even able to read yet. The first time she stole a book was at her brothers funeral to keep as a memory of him and also her mother. Liesel was upset and "she started to dig" for The Gravediggers Handbook (Zusak 23).This seemed ironic also, because she dug for a book in the snow at her brothers burial. Hitler used words as a powerful tool to change the way a whole

    things about The Book Thief is its flawless foreshadowing. "Himmel," or "Heaven" can be seen as far more than a pleasant street name. Liesel will come to perceive her life with Rosa and Hans Hubermann on Himmel Street as a "heaven-on-earth." Her days playing soccer with Rudy and the other neighborhood children, and nights spent reading and writing will be some of her favorite memories. Additionally, "Heaven" is a grim forewarning as well as a joyful description. By the end of the book, the majority

    In his writing of “How to Mark a Book,” Mortimer J. Adler recommends that while reading a book, you should make a personal index on the papers in the book, but not page by page or point by point. Instead, he suggests making it an integrated structure with a basic unity and an order of parts. The marked book is usually the thought-through book. A good way to think of this is like how a conductor makes notes on his musical scores. The conductor can mark them up again and again each time he returns
