HANS AND LIESEL: The arrow between Hans and Liesel is very thick and is a dark red because Hans was there for Liesel the moment she came to Himmel Street, either reading with her at night or simply joking around with her to make her more comfortable in her new home (Page 64). Hans and Liesel also share a special bond which strengthens their relationship. Hans is Liesel's loving foster father, and he protects Liesel when Rosa, his wife, comes down on her (Page 33, paragraph 3). Liesel trusts Hans above all other people, and he is the one responsible for teaching her to read, write and roll a cigarette, which is what truly started their friendship. (Page 33, paragraph 5).

Death is merely impressed by her, as far as he is impressed by humans (Page 550). Death also sees Liesel as a "perpetual survivor,” as she has escaped him numerous times when others weren’t as lucky. Death does not want to take Liesel’s soul when she is to pass on but, knows that he will have little choice in the matter as it is his job to so as he is the result of being killed. Death states that “I saw the book thief three times” (Page 5). This is Death's way of stating that he has been watching this girl for some time now and she is in his memory, which also creates the vision of some sort of relationship occurring although it is merely one sided. The arrow between the two characters is also not extremely thick because the two never met as Death was not an immediate character in the …show more content…
Liesel is angry at the fact that Mrs. Hermann did not continue to have her laundry done by Rosa (Page 133). Once Ilsa notices that Liesel is stealing books from her, she does not get mad at Liesel and begins to leave the books out of her window for Liesel to take (Page 459). Ilsa feels that she can provide Liesel with what she needs, so she allows her to come into the library (Page 459). Despite that fact that Liesel visits often to read in the library the two remain relatively guarded, which creates a tense relationship. Their relationship is symbolic of the major tension that occurred during the time that this book took place; the circumstances of the war do not allow them to have a bond as they might otherwise have because Liesel fears that Ilsa may still turn her in for stealing the book from the fire and also the fact that Ilsa was no longer a customer of Rosa’s which impacted how Liesel’s family lived (Page
