The progress I've made in this book...It's astonishing. Almost half way! I can't believe I'm writing a 3rd post on the same book. At this rate, there could be another 6 more...I'm working on it though. Don't worry.
Okay so I guess I'll choose a random prompt.
The most important line from a chapter is...Let me find one...
"As it had turned out, the promised return visit in the room of darkness didn't take days; it had taken a week and a half. Then another week till the next, and another, until he lost all sense of the passing of days and hours" (Zusak 158)
This quote doesn't have anything to do with Liesel. It's not even part of her story. She knows nothing about it. But this man, Max, I think you could guess it. He's a Jew, a Jew during Hitler's reign. He's in hiding waiting for people to help him get to the Hubermann house. So he can go into more hiding? This is his life. Scared, alone, starving. This quote is important because it allows the reader to see how bad life really was for people. It helps connect the story to what most people have heard about Hitler and the Nazi party. This quote has a huge impact over the plot of this story. It's Zusak's own way of adding foreshadowing. Imagining how much change is going to happen to Liesel when Max arrives at her house. It makes you want to keep on reading. And I shall do that.
