Allison C, The Book Thief
Hi Madison, I don’t know how you are keeping up with both me and Cora but, I thank you because its very nice to have a person to talk to about this. I’ve been reading The Book Thief more now and I’m really into it. I think that it was just hard to start. I’m really liking Rudy. He is rebellious but, has fun and knows the consequences. He’s adorable with Liesel too. They are a good pair. Speaking of the character, I’m quite confused about Hans Jr. Do you have any thoughts on him?
I wonder how the author came up with the idea that Death would narrate. I find it really interesting. He writes different than a lot of authors and that’s intriguing. Although I have heard his other book is way different. In his writing he puts these short “featuring” paragraphs for when he starts a new part in the book. Just to kind of say whats coming up. I like that a lot. Also when he introduces a new character, he will say short sentences of either their future or past. When he doesn’t write about a character anymore he’ll give you a little look into when he sees them next. Or when he saw them in the past. I thought that was different. And he puts himself into their stories. He tells them like he was there and a big part. What do you think about his writing?
