The Book Thief
Reading
Log (page 411 to page 554)
A
parade of the Jew is going on in front of the German on the street of the town.
Hans can’s bear it anymore so he rushes into the crowd of Jewish to help an
elderly which the event makes Max leave. For the first time, I see how the Jew
was treated badly by the Nazi Party. If I were there, I would feel helpless and
furious about the condition because I know the Nazi Party is doing something
wrong but I can not do anything for the Jew. On the other hand, Liesel is
searching for Max. Upon the moment they see each other as well as the scene
when Liesel is not afraid of being punished in order to catch up Max to talk to
him, I almost cry. Their connection between each other is so strong and they
memorize the great time underground of the house. “There were twigs of hair,
just like Liesel thought, and the swampy eyes stepped across, shoulder to
shoulder over the other Jews. When that reached her, they pleaded. His beard
stroked down his face and his mouth shivered as he said the word, the name, the
girl. Liesel,”
From the death
collector’s perspectives, people commit suicide in that period of time because
life is so hard. I realize the pain destroy a person when Michael hung himself
because of the nightmare about the war and death of his brother. Later on in a
sudden bomb, everyone in the town died except for Liesel when she is writing
her stories underground. Life becomes nothing and Liesel loses everything she
cherished. In the end of the story, after few years in the end of the war,
Liesel and Max meet each other again to live a happy life together.
This book is a
masterpiece for me. I like the way the author illustrate the stories which
connect closely on the perspective of the death collector as well as the characters
play the important role in each part. I don’t like the ending but I start to
think of each choice I make would influence my life greatly. I get to know more
about the hard condition under the Nazi Party and I see the humanity of people.
