Log #6

Just like 焚書坑儒 from ancient China, apparently, Hitler was also burning books. Liesel stole another book from the pile that was supposed to be burnt. And she was forced to like Hitler, or at least, pretend to be. When she spoke her mind that she hated Hitler, she earned a slap from her foster dad, which was necessary but unfair.

The mayor's wife accidentally saw Liesel stealing the books. My guess was that because Liesel reminded her of her son who she lost, she didn't exposed her for stealing the book. Later on, she even let her read more books inside her house.

After those events, a new character, which I assumed is going to be very important. Max was the son of Han's old friend who died, and he's asking to hide at the basement. He's Jewish. Hans agreed to let him stay, which made me think; Would I let him hide if I were Hans? The answer is no. I wouldn't for a million years! I wouldn't risk my family's safety ever! But I admire Hans' choice. He's unselfish unlike me.

I predicted the next part of the story would be how Liesel and Max interact with each other and probably something more about the mayor's with and Liesel! I really started to like this book.
