The Book Thief Pages 173-184
This section of the book thief started off strange, yet interesting. Part of World War One was included. It is also stated that Hans is trying to avoid the narrator. At first, it was obvious that this was narrated by Death, but now I don't know if that has changed or not. In this case, the narrator is probably Death, and some friends who have already read the book (**COUGH**MATTHEW**COUGH**) have already confirmed my theory on death narrating, that Death is always narrating. This section has also told us that Hans has taken a lot of life-threatening risks. Erik, the one who taught Hans to play the accordion, seems to have also been an influence to Han's kind nature, it was sad that he was apparently blown up on a hill later on. Hans survived only by not being there, not going into battle that day. I find the simile cool, how you can survive, just like running from Death(the narrator). Now, however, world war two is starting, and Hans is loosing customers, because most of his customers are Jewish. Death also points out three small yet figuratively big points. One of these points foreshadowed Hans being invited into the Natzi party. This flashback and present thoughts from death were very interesting, and I hope that more will be revealed in the next section.
