The first quote explains who Paul is to the war. „We march up, moody or good-tempered soldiers - we reach the zone where the front begins and become on the instant human animals.” P. 56.

One of the any quotes to show how lof is important to Beowulf is “ Then old and young rejoiced, turn back from that happy pilgrimage, mounted their hard-hooved horses, high- stallions, and rode them slowly toward Herot again, retailing Beowulf's bravery as they jogged

Nazi group trying to eliminate all of the Jewish citizens (“Adolf”). Throughout his years, Adolf said many violent words that still disgust people these days. One of his famous quotes is, “Anyone who sees and paints a sky green and fields blue ought to be sterilized” (“Adolf Hitler quote”).

I chose to analyze the quote, “A snowball in the face is surely the perfect beginning to a lasting friendship.” on page 48 in The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
