So I think I'm gunna do this blog post a little different. I want to leave you hanging... :)
"The End of the World (Part 1)"- They bombed Himmel Street...
"The 98th Day"- For the first 97 days Hans' return was fine..until the 98th day. Also on this day Micheal Holtzapfel committed suicide.
"The War Maker"- Hitler.
"Way of the Words"- Every time there was a Jewish parade coming through Molching Liesel would look for Max. This particular day she spotted him. She ran to him and asked him about "The Word Shaker"; that's when she realized it all...
"Confessions"- Liesel confessed everything to Rudy.
"Ilsa Hermann's Little Black Book"- The mayor's wife gave her a book to write a story in.
"The Rib-Cage Planes"- Liesel finished her book on that fateful night when that bomb was dropped from the rib cage of the plane.
"The End of the World (Part 2)"- This is when we find out, for sure, everyone except for Liesel died that day during the bombing.
Epilogue
"Death and Liesel": Liesel died many years later and was ready to go.
"Wood in the Afternoon": Liesel was taken in by the mayor and his wife. Liesel found out Rudy's father, Alex, survived the war and that afternoon there was wooden teardrops and an oaky smile.
"Max": They were re-united in October of 1945.
"The Handover Man": On the day death took Liesel Meminger he finally did something he had been waiting to do...he gave her, her book "The Book Thief" back.
This was a great book, don't get me wrong, but it made me mad. It was unfair but I guess life is unfair.
I thought about power the whole way through the book and couldn't understand who was most powerful...til the end. Death was the most powerful being in the book and is the most powerful being on earth. Death can, obviously, take your life. Death can scare you to do the right thing or wrong thing. Death has most power over you.
