Part 7

"Champagne and Accordians"- Liesel went around town with Hans and helped him paint different things for the people in the community. Liesel and Hans really bonded in this time.
"The Trilogy"- They had their annual Hitler Youth track and field deal and Rudy won 3 medals. Liesel again stole another book from the mayor's house in this chapter. She stole a book called "A Song in the Dark". We come to find out in this chapter the mayor's wife knows she has been stealing her books and tells Liesel she should come to the door and ask like a normal person would.
"The Sound of Sirens"- Sirens would blare like tornado sirens here when there was going to be a bomb raid and this is what the chapter was about.
"The Sky Stealer"- This was also about a bomb raid. Liesel was sort of a hero in this chapter because she helped calm everyone down because this was a real bomb raid unlike the chapter before; that one was a close call.
"Frau Holtzapfel's Offer"- Frau offered Liesel and Rosa a deal: if Liesel would read the book "A Song in the Dark", she would give Rosa a ration of coffee. Liesel takes the deal and reads to Frau every Monday and Friday.
"The Long Walk to Dachau"- This is the first time in the book it really talks about Jews even though the Hubermanns do have Max hiding in their basement. A parade of Jews was about to walk through Molching on their way to a camp in Dachau. Everyone in Molching came to watch. Many of the Jews were in agony, malnourished, tired and other things. As you can guess Hans Hubermman is a very caring man... well as the Jews were marching on he saw one that was far worse then the others so he, out of pure spontaneity, pulled a piece of bread out of his paint cart and gave it to the Jew. That was about the worst thing he could have done because he and the jew was whipped.
"Peace"- Because of the stupidity of the action Hans had done Max had to leave. The plan was if "they" (meaning Nazis after Hans) didn't come and take Hans away, he was going to go get Max from where he told him to hide. When Hans decided to go get Max he was gone; he left a note for them saying they had done enough and Max disappeared. Since Max had left it was peaceful because they didn't have to worry that they were gunna get caught with a Jew in Nazi Germany.
"The Idiot and the Coat Men"- Hans felt like a complete idiot and guilty over giving that Jew a piece of bread. He was continually putting himself down for it. Liesel kept trying to tell him he wasn't but he couldn't get over it. The coat men... the coat men were what Hans was waiting for to come take him away but we find out they are not after Hans but after Rudy Steiner, Liesel's best friend.

There is alot of power in this chapter I believe. I think it's not power like you think, such as the power Hitler has at this time but willpower. Hans Hubermann has A LOT of willpower. It took a lot to give that Jew a piece of bread even if it was out of spontaneity. A human mind also has a lot of power especially in Hans situation. He got to the point of paranoia because he thought the Gestapo was after him.
