But poor Adaline suffered the most with her broken leg and severe concussion. Cole came out of the accident with rough looking bruises and a cut so deep, it felt like someone stabbed him.
“Did we get him?” Adaline rasped, her eyes already feeling heavy.
“Get him? Let’s just say we have a new Chief now and the other is six feet below.” Cole exclaimed and held Adaline’s hand as she fell back into the safety of sleep.
The fourth letter was never read to anyone but to the family. They immediately threw it into their fireplace, the embers of fire eating the malice of the Erchomai gone forever. All four bodies made it to their final resting places, their families at ease and grief. Willow’s Peak had its fifteen minutes of fame and was now as invisible as the prayers to the families.

    This is the first line in the novel where the title is referenced. I have noticed that in all the books I have read, the line referencing the title is especially powerful and really stands out in your mind as a reader. After I read this quote for the first time, I stopped reading for a couple minutes and stopped to think about both this quote and everything that has led up to it. Everything came full circle. Something about it really made the book click for me, as if a light bulb was turned on.…

    Asya pulled on her coat and boots, closed the pantry door and slipped away before anyone saw her disappear. Her breath streamed through her muffler and rose up into the birch branches above her head. The icicles on the eaves shed a steady stream of drops into the piled snow banks on either side of the banks: clumps of snow slid off the branches of the firs and subsided to the ground with a hiss; the upper most branches of the birches sighed and cracked in the wind. She skipped down the hundred and twenty six wooden steps to the boat house singing to…

    From past to present to the inevitable future, we as humans have done terrible things. Things like the Holocaust, countless wars, genocide, sex trafficking, terrorism, and many other events in which people lose faith in the world we live in. Most people will argue the fact that humanity is not beautiful, but ugly for these reasons, but it’s really both: humanity is beautiful because the world is ugly, there are definite relationships between the two opposites. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak introduces multiple examples of how humanity is both beautiful yet ugly, at the same time. In the book, Death is the narrator who sees all in a third person omniscient view, and he states “I’m constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race--that…
