Blog post #1 character

The main Character in the Book Thief, a young girl named Liesel seems to me a ordinary character with no extraordinary attributes or a fatal flaw. The memorable characters surround and overshadow the protagonist Liesel which makes if feel if you are inside Liesel's shoes. To make up for this she is surrounded by colorful characters like her father and mother. Liesel, seems childish and maybe the thing that makes her appear to have this attribute is how she is so understanding and tolerant. When Rudy has his "Jesse Owens incident" she does not think twice about it and still considers Rudy her friend. Or how she loves her stepmother even though she beats her and verbally abuses Liesel. Yet Liesel does not appear to have any extraordinary attribute so you see her understanding and tolerance break down. Like when she is supposed to read in class and fails miserably, and when one of the boys makes fun of her for failing she then proceeds to beat him to a pulp. She does have an open mind and is willing to experiment and try new things, like her goal to read well. Liesel most likely not very extraordinary for a protagonist on purpose, to make the reader see her story through her eyes and connect to what she is thinking.
