The Book Thief Pages 101-113
Liesel checking the mailbox for a letter from her mother in my opinion was a great way to start off this chapter. It was a smooth transition from the last section to this one. In the section, it also continues with Hitler's birthday. "There would be a parade. Marching. Music. Singing. There would be a fire." This is an interesting aspect of Hitler's given culture, especially the bonfire. When Hans is telling Rosa about the woman he saw out the window, it confused me on what Hans was doing. Why was he lying to Rosa about the woman? I wonder why the Author decided to open the event were Hans and Rosa could not find their flag. But I guess those questions will have to wait for later in the story.
The short part about Hans and his son was rather interesting. How his son left for war and calling Hans a coward. Why would Han's son be against him, even after Hans was with him, raising him his whole life (or WAS he)? The final sentence of the first part of this section was also interesting, foreshadowing what will happen, again, in the proceeding chapter. In the next part, Liesel gets separated from Rudy, which I guessed helped what the Author was intending to show.
"She saw it so clearly. Her starving mother. Her missing father. Her dead brother." That was a sudden moment that I wasn't quite expecting. I pictures it as a quick flashback, but others might have thought differently. Liesel talking to Ludwig also seemed like a good choice by the author. I don't know why the Author chose to have the short conversation happen in during the bonfire, but that will all be found out soon... hopefully.
This section was very interesting to me, and I hope that if you have happened to stumble across this blog, that you would be inspired to read this book as well.
