FINAL WEEK#5

At times this book has been depressing, at times this book has been happy. I have found myself coming to conclusion that this book is somewhat of a "emotional rollercoster". Typically, one may find a single message in a story or novel, however, I have encountered multiple messages that I have learned. I have thought deeper in this book than others I have read because of a couple reasons: the interesting narrator, bold characters, and dark time period. Also the characters that I have continually anazlyed developed me as well. With the time period that this book is held in, leads me to think of dark and depressing times, which is the lower part of the rollercoster. As I begin to think deeper and analyze the joy and happiness that books bring Liesel, it brings the rollercoster up and I start to think that there is joy in difficult times. It's taught me to find the good in the bad, just like Liesel does unconciously. Rosa has taught me to not be so stubborn, but to understand that everyone is different and acceptance is the key in life. Hans, a caring thoughtful man has taught me to sometimes take risks in what you believe in, just has he encourages Liesel's stealing and reading of books. In conclusion, The Book Thief, has made me become a deeper thinker and helped me focus on the characters development.
