a result, we become unaware of the story’s historical validity. In some cases, stories are used to share a moral concept, or used as a tool to teach a lesson. The Book of Jonah is an example that will be used to determine if this particular story describes an accurate recount of history, or if it teaches the readers a lesson. In the Book of Jonah, Jonah (the prophet) is instructed to go to a pagan city (Nineveh) to preach to the Ninevites, hoping that they will repent for their sins. However, he challenges

Markus Zusak’s compelling novel, The Book Thief, is a multilayered and intricately created text that embeds a multiplicity of meanings as it explores diverse ways of representing the complexities of trauma and the human nature. The incorporation of trauma into literature has enabled an enhanced explication of the power and complexity of the relationships among cataclysmic historical events. Zusak’s exploration into trauma and the various coping mechanisms employed by individuals is a poignant reflection

“A DEFINITION NOT FOUND IN THE DICTIONARY- Not leaving: an act of trust and love, often deciphered by children.” - Markus Zusak, The Book Thief. This line in the book really caught my attention while reading the Book Thief, because I thought that it really emphasized the topic of family.

Narrated by Death, The Book Thief communicates Liesel's power of words during one of the devastating times in history, World War II.

In ‘The Book Thief’, Death introduces itself as the narrator. Zusak has chosen Death as the narrator because he says that ‘Death is weary, he's fatigued, and he's haunted by what he sees humans do to each other because he's on hand for all of our great miseries.’ In this novel Death is interested by humans and the colours of the world, but he struggles to decode how humans are capable of so much beauty but at the same time ugliness. He shows an interest in Liesel’s story and describes the incidents

Title: East of Eden Significance of the title: The novel is intended to be an allegory for or a retelling of the first few chapters of the Book of Genesis, from Adam and Eve being expelled from the Garden of Eden through the story of Cain and Abel. “East of Eden” is also the final phrase of the final biblical passage about Cain and Abel, which is an important aspect of this story.

The theme of a piece of literature is the main topic that is discussed throughout the narrative. There are thousands of different possible themes that could be used in a story. However, the theme of redemption seems to be one of the most common. Redemption is when one commits a wrongdoing and in order to erase the constant feeling of guilt, one will atone, or make up, for their sins.
