The Book Thief Noticing

" I do not carry a sickle or a scythe. I only wear a hooded black robe when its cold. And I don't have those skull-like features you seem to enjoy pinning on me in the distance. You want to know what I truly look like? I'll help you out . Find yourself a mirror while I continue."


    Death ( he narrates the story) would put something  in the story that would shock you. As usual, people would have different expressions when they would read/see/hear something shocking. He would want you to find a mirror so you could look in it and see your expression. this is how he would describe what he looks like: your face.

Book Entry

Book Theif Entry



"For Liesel, it was a ride in the car. She'd never been in one before."


To me, when I first read the first sentence, it made me think- well that's easy, people ride in cars all the time. It must be plain and simple. Then I read the next sentence. It totally changed my way of thought. She had never rode in a car, so she didn't know what would happen or what it would feel like. She would probably be very nervous without any background information about what would happen. That was a great metaphor to describe Liesel's experience.
