SPOILER ALERTIf you have not started to read this book, and have stumbled across this blog, be warned, there are some spoilers in these passages.
This section is filled with relief, happiness, forgiveness, and a cliff to death.
Liesel's town has been hit by bombs, it is very sad that all they knew was lost to such an occasion. It makes you think what if that was you, having to say goodbye to a lot of things. Luckily, Liesel did not have to say goodbye to much, but Rudy had to say goodbye to the track he loved to run on. It makes me feel how lucky we are to be generally safe from those kinds of things. Frau comes to offer Liesel a deal, but must talk to her mom first. I love how Mark adds dictionary meanings in-between parts. I think that its trying to tell me something. Opportunity. This event had that word written all over it. I love how Frau wanted Liesel to read the book to them, how she thought it was a really cool book. It was beneficial for Rosa as well, it must say how much this book is loves by frau. To be honest, I have a slightly envy Liesel right now that she gets such an opportunity, such a complement. Frau was very rude to Liesel, but I guess they are giving her family food in return, which is a very good deal at the time. Im not saying that gives her a complete right to be rude, but its defiantly a reason.
Its the Jewish parade! Sounds exiting, right? It makes you think that the Jews might have resolved things with Hitler, and they are doing a celebration parade! But then your common knowlage of WW2 comes in, and you know its probably something like a parade to their death or something.
Misery. This word is included after the Jews are introduced in the truck. Again, very good choice of placement. We now know that the Jews are going on a parade merely to suck the fresh air into their air thirsty lungs. A smile grew on my face when papa helped the elderly Jew by handing him bread, but it instantly subsided as both were whipped. But that was not why I wasn't smiling.
Max.
Now Hans house is defiantly going to be searched again! Max is probably going to be found. Papa has laid a death sentence to this family.
I am eager in an odd way to continue reading to find out what happens, and I hope that you are as well. If you happened to stumble across this blog, that you to will be inspired to read along with me.

Keaten-I enjoy your focus on individual words. Parade. Yes, think about the things that come to mind when you think about a parade. A celebration of sorts, right? This shows the extent of the perversion the nazis were capable of. Good example!
