Part 5 re-cap

It seemed like this part went by fast. "The Floating Book (Part 1)"- Was the beginning of a very interesting thought process by yours truly. I knew this chapter was the beginning of another. "The Gamblers (A Seven-Sided Die)"- This chapter was rather long compared to others. The first few pages of the chapter was telling about Liesel giving Max a haircut. It went on to talk about Liesel finding empty cross words on newspapers and giving them to Max to read and to do the crosswords. It goes on... Max has a new dream and in this he's dreaming of beating Hitler at boxing even though is Max against everyone else cause as you may know he is a jew. Towards the ending of this chapter the mayor and his wife fire Rosa because times are getting rough. "Rudy's Youth"- Because Rudy and Liesel live on Himmel Street, they have it pretty bad. That street is considered the "ghetto", if you wanna call it that, of Molching. Rudy is also known for his stupidity and lack of common sense which gets him in trouble an awful lot. "The Losers"- Liesel and Rudy go back to stealing whatever food they can get. Their "gang" of thieves gets a new leader who is what you call, maybe, a Hitler wanna-be. Again because of Rudy's stupidness he gets beat up and Liesel and Rudy are "the losers" compared to everyone else. "Sketches"- Max paints his "Mein Kemph" book and decides to write a story; that's what the chapter title is about. "The Whistler and the Shoes"- So as you know Liesel loves reading books and does whatever to get them. When the mayor and his wife had to fire Rosa from doing their washing, Rosa gave Liesel the book "The Whistler" as a pity present. Liesel wouldn't take it so she decided she was gunna steal it. She stole it successfully but Rudy left her shoes at the mayor's house so they had to go back and get them. "3 Acts of Stupidity by Rudy Steiner"- Here they are: 1. Stole the biggest potato from Mamer's, the local grocer. 2. Taking on Franz Deutscher on Munich Street. Skipping the Hitler Youth meetings altogether. It is 9:34 PM and time for me to put my computer to rest for the night so I am going to leave that chapter hanging so I leave this blog suspenseful...DUN DUN DUN! lol :) The final chapter to part 5 is "The Floating Book (Part 2)"- "The Floating Book is about Rudy rescuing Liesel's book "The Whistler" from the river because Franz Deutscher threw it in there. This chapter ended really weird to me and I'm slightly confused but I can't really finish reading on account I need to go to bed but I can't wait to find out and will be posting soon.

I believe at this point Liesel is feeling a little powerful because she does have a VERY powerful secret because she has a jew hidden in her basement. I also believe Liesel doesn't realize the power she really has. She continues to steal books which makes her feel powerful as well.
