The Book Thief Pages 91-100
This section is very emotional, it makes you fearful, angry, and it even made me tear up... a lot. The first world war has started, and Rosa has lost a customer because he was not able to afford the washing and ironing that Rosa provided.
"Come on, Liesel. It was not said, it was pulled along, rough-handed"
This part interested me a lot, how the Author added in a speech that was said without speaking, which completely contradicts what we know about writing normally, but Markus is able to make it work, by telling us that it was spoken without words and with an action that corresponds very well. Rosa imitating Vogel after she was fired from her job still confuses me, though, how she mocks them for being lazy, even though she is the one getting paid to do it for them, and then after her insulting Vogel many times after he shuts the door after paying her. Even if the war did not cut the budgets of Vogel, it was totally called for that he would hear her muttering from the window one day, and decide to fire her. Liesel carrying the washings and ironings to the homes was probably a great experience in my opinion for Liesel. As said she got to meet a few people, and became good friends with most of them. But a bit back, in the following quote " 'yes mama' Saying those two words was often the best way to survive..."
I find that sentence interesting, because the Author was saying something that the audience clearly knew, but he wrote it so that it sounds sort of like a military camp, except replace mama with Sargent or General (even though they really aren't that far apart). The author also explained the four people Liesel visited, which I think was a good idea because it gave you a sense that it was a very important part of the story, which it was, but it did not seem like it at first. Rudy also convincing Liesel to spend her money was also a huge part of the chapter, though it was only a paragraph. I believe that this was involved with Liesel's intention to mail her letters later on in this section.
Ah, not we come to the middle of January, were Liesel decides to write to her mother. This shocked me at first, because I had thought that Liesel had almost forgotten about her parents, besides the fact that she has the grave digger's handbook as a memory. I also thought it was a very good idea, and I wanted to see how the letter turned out, so I was disappointed not to see a section of the letter in the book.
"What had they done to her?" When Liesel overheard a conversation between Rosa and Hans, I was shocked when I had heard that sentence. Is Liesel's mother related to the war? Did she get kidnapped? Those are questions I really want to be answered in the book. I feel bad for Liesel overhearing the conversation, It sort of made me wish she had never heard it in the story, even though it is a very important part. It broke my heart as much as Hans when I found out Liesel never got a letter back from her Mother. Rosa's ironing service is dying quickly thanks to world war two. That is causing a lot of stress toward Liesel via her mother. Liesel never received any gifts during this time period, because their family was so low on money they could not afford it. When Liesel uses some of her parent's money to mail her letters, I was shocked that she dared to do it, and I felt to bad for her when she was hit with a wooden spoon by her mother. But when I really teared up was when Liesel told Rosa that she used the money to mail the letters, and her mama kneels down, and says "I'm sorry Liesel". I don't know how to quite explain it, but it feels sad and happy at the same time, I don't know what to feel, really, it was the sympathy Rosa finally gave to Liesel that really got at me. As you may have assumed, this chapter was really powerful, and I hope that if you have not read this yet, and you stumbled upon this, that you will be as encouraged as me to read along.
