The Book Thief: Entry 4

I chose The Book Thief  for multiple reasons, one being that I heard it was going to be a movie, so I figured it was going to be good if they made a movie out of it. Another reason was that when I read what it was going to be about and heard it was going to be about the holocaust, and I found the holocaust very interesting so I figured I would be interested in this book. I wasn't really personally connected to the book since it was based during the holocaust, and I can't relate to that. I can relate my sister to it since the girl Liesel was a foster child and my family is fostering my sister right now and has been for the past two years. I would recommend this book to pretty much anyone, but particularly people who are interested in history and can keep up with different stories about people without getting confused since it jumps from person to person. Also, if you're okay with little to no action but more of a very realistic story then you'd like it, but if you're into extremely fiction books you wouldn't like this book since it's very realistic and I think is dead on from the perspective of someone living during the holocaust,m especially a little kid.

The Book Thief: Entry 3

"They listened to Nazi footsteps in the basement. There was the sound of measuring tape. Liesel could not ward off the thought of Max sitting beneath the steps, huddled around his sketchbook, hugging it to his chest. Papa stood. Another idea." This part in the book was when they had their Jewish friend Max in their basement still, and some Nazi generals had to search everyone's houses to see if their basement would make a good shelter. The Hubermann's are freaked out because they have a Jew in their basement and a Nazi wants to search the one place he's hiding. I think this was a very intense moment in the book because you're freaking out while reading hoping to god they don't get caught. This part really freaked me out while reading and I just wanted to keep reading faster to find out what happens to the Jew and to see if the Nazi general was going to find him. This part probably showed conflict the most throughout the entire book.
