Part 9

"The Next Temptation"- This next temptation was cookies in the mayor's window in his library. Liesel was about to steal another book, this time it was a very different experience.
"The Cardplayer"- The men in Hans platoon would gamble with cards for cigarettes and Hans being the man he was would share when he won. This chapter is when we meet Reinhold Zucker. He's a youngen compared to everyone else. He's 24. When he won a round of cards he'd gloat. He also wouldn't take any of the cigarettes when Hans would share them.
"The Snows of Stalingrad"- Liesel is still going over to Frau Holtzapfel's house to read to her but on this particular day something was different. When Liesel went over there a man answered the door; we come to find out it's Frau's son who was injured in Stalingrad. Her other son had died while fighting the war.
"The Ageless Brother"- At this point of the book Liesel is a few weeks short of being 14. Liesel still has visions of her brother but she realized that he will always be 6.
"The Accident"- Hans sat in his appointed seat on the truck. Reinhold was standing above him. Reinhold told Hans to move because he wanted his seat. Hans wasn't gunna fight over it so he gave Reinhold that seat. Something happened and the driver lost control and the truck crashed. Everyone survived except for Reinhold. Who was in Hans seat, it could have been Hans that day.
"The Bitter Taste of Questions"- Hans broke his leg in the accident which was what sent him home to Rosa and Liesel. Everyone was so happy for Liesel. Rudy was happy but was angry because he thought why him and not his father.
"One Toolbox, One Bleeder, One Bear"- Since Rudy's father was sent to war he was very angry and it grew day by day. Something in him decided not to steal anything. He said he was better at leaving things then stealing them. A few weeks after the toolbox does come in handy. Rudy used it to store the Steiner's valuables for another air raid. This air raid was kind of a bad one. Frau wouldn't come out of her house for it because she was still grieving over her other son. Liesel tried to get her to come out but she wouldn't, she finally did.
"Homecoming"- This chapter Hans came home. Liesel was complete again.

The book is now starting to make so much more sense but I don't want it to end. The next part is the last one. The book also angers me. I was reading part 8 or 9, I'm not sure which one but I just wanted to throw the book down. Life is just not fair and this book is a great example of that. The power struggle is there. Liesel struggles with power all the time. The power to steal is what gets her most of the time though.
