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.
A visitor, a schmunzeler, and yet another epic of death's diary. Really made me think what was going to happen, if anything.
Liesel's family has a visitor. Pretty nice, if you ask me. It would have been a pleasure to have such a person over for a while, in any other situation. I thought for sure that this was the end of Max. It seems that he has been having a hard time with living in the basement for a long time. freezing to death, passing out, and now he has to hide underneath the mattresses, only taking a few breaths, if any, to hide from this NAZI member. I felt as tense as everybody else while reading this, I thought for sure that he would have thought of looking under the mattresses. But, purely out of luck, he was not found. Or was he, and the NAZI member was just to nice to say so. Max, uncovered later, was found with sizers in his hands. That must have looked so scary, finding a man with sizers in your basement. But, they knew the man, and knew he was only going to defend himself. Is Max getting darker from the pressure of hiding? It defiantly seems like it.
The Schmunzeler, what an interesting title. I looked this word up, apparently means the smiler. That just makes it sound even more interesting. Rudy comes to Liesel's house directly after to check on Liesel. That never happens now when you get an injury like that. Most of everybody's closest friends live at least a twenty minute walking away, so people don't usually come in to check on people like that. But Rudy lives close to Liesel, because I guess in Germany people dont drive to get to a school, or a friend's house, because everything is within a walking distance. Maybe it's because we utilize out phones more, so we are able to stay in contact with people who live far away from us all the time. Maybe we don't go outside as much to meet people who live by us, because we are texting or chatting our friends who live in another city, state, or maybe even country. Just think of a world like that.
But thats just a thought, now we continue through the book. Rudy says that Liesel is getting to evident of her stealing, even though she finds such a comment repugnant. After that, its just casual teasing and taunting. Will that comment affect how they steal now, is Liesel going to make a fuss about it, or is Rudy going to?
Onto the next chapter, Death explains that the NAZI searches has given him a big job. A common complaint from Death.
"But its hard to keep them warm when the souls still shiver. god"
Death mentioning god? You would think that they are two opposite things. Are they? Does death work for god? It sort of hints that, but It could still be something else. Surprisingly, I had never thought of that. What a thought. Markus is able to twist everything you thought you knew about haven and hell.
"They were French, they were Jews, and they were you. "
Complexing last sentence. Is he saying that the French Jews, the people are destined to die, have the same fate as me. I wouldn't be surprised at that. Is there something else encrypted in this sentence?
I hope you enjoyed reading this blog, and that if you happened to stumble upon this post, that you will be inspired to read along with me.
