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.
I hope Max is ok. An abrupt start to this post, but something that had to be said. Rosa and Hans are getting really stressed on what to do with Max and how to care for him, but they are probably not as worried as Liesel. Liesel is very worried about Liesel. I feel really bad for her. It touches me that she is bringing things in that seem like something invaluable, but means a lot to a Jew and a girl. Again, these past sections with Max have summarized one thing: Its the small things in life that really matter. I know I have said that way too many times, but it can't be more true. Liesel read to him every night, which is even more touching. I just wish I could be there and actually watch that moment. For at least a moment, and watch her reading to a body witch may or may not be dead. The title of the next chapter startled me.
"Fresh Air, An old nightmare, and what to do with a jewish corpse."
Oh no. Its happened. The moment we have dreaded. It never says in the chapter that he is actually dead. But I know that its going to happen. Fore notice: I was wrong. It scared me half to death hearing the conversations that Rosa and Hans were having. I almost wanted to stop reading. Key word: Almost. I was still curious, despite the solemn event. Oh, the joy when mama rushed to Liesel to "tell" her that Max was still alive. I felt just as happy as Liesel was. Max is afraid he will fall asleep again, and so am I.
Death now has to leave his watching of Liesel to clean up after a bombing. He meets some girls there. Curious girls. I wonder what the purpose of this short chapter was. Girls wanting empty fuel containers, something you'll have to see to believe.
I hope that you enjoyed this blog, and if you happened to stumble upon it, that you will be inpired to read along with me.
